RE: A day out of the lives of Homeschoolers

in #freedom7 years ago

I have tremendous respect for homeschooling mothers. My wife and I homeschooled our three sons (mostly my wife, while I worked to keep the bills paid). One son went to a private school for his last two years of high school, but that was it for schooling outside our home. In retrospect, the only thing we might have done differently was to NOT send the one son to those two years of private school. Homeschooling can be discouraging at times, but you are doing the right thing. Here's wishing you the very best !

That is a great achievement to homeschool three kids. I'm curious how your boys are doing now. Your wife must be wonder woman :) It can be hard and discouraging at times. And I have great respect for people like you and your wife and that you were able to cooperate in a way that made it work for you. It's definitely not easy for the parent who works outside of the house either, since that parent would only be involved in homeschooling part-time while you're still a full time parent. The fact that that worked for you, means you have a great work ethic and are a team. I'm fortunate to be able to work from the home mostly after I chose to leave my full time job and traded it in for freelance work. Not everyone has that opportunity so I know how blessed I am to be able to do this. Thank you for reading and your well wishes!
