I'm a parent of two, I wish I had the ability to homeschool my kids, but since my wife and I both have to maintain full time jobs for the health, comfort and safety of our kids. So, I constantly teach my kids to question everything and everyone including myself. Everyday that I pick my kids up from the after school program I ask them the same things, "what did you learn in school today?" followed by asking them for their personal insight on it. So far my kids are great kids, but they are young so my job as a parent is not even close to done and I too am learning from them how to be a better role model as I see them becoming more and more like me in many ways.

I have a Brady bunch type of a family. Between the two of us we have 6 kids ranging from 2 to 12. We as well both work and it is challenging to keep up with all aspects of their education. The very FACT that you have gone just this far shows you are a much more active parent then a lot of even stay at home parents. One thing I've learned is that even what you may feel as a small portion of what you may be capable of doing if you had more free time will affect your children far more than you might first image. Keep up the good work and it will pay off in the end when your children grow up into productive adults who can see the world for what it truly is.
One last thought... A parents role never ends no matter how old the kids get. They will still need your guidance and wisdom well into their adult lives.
It sounds like you're off to a great start and that you're a very committed parent. That's awesome!
