Just as I've grown a thicker skin and become used to comments related to our family (adoption/race), I expect to hear lots of homeschooling comments also.
It's that time of year when preschool wraps up and kindergarten looms ahead. DS1 has been in a church based preschool for 2 years, so at pick up time, talk naturally turns toward kindergarten for the moms. I stay quiet unless specifically asked, and yesterday I was asked how roundup went for DS1. After I said that we didn't do roundup and were homeschooling, I got the "oh". It was an "oh" of disapproval.
And I didn't care one bit. (which is PROGRESS for me!)
Recently, a tball mom friend and I were talking. We each have boys that are the same age. Kindergarten came up, and I shared our hosed school plans...and she seemed envious! She said that she didn't want her son gone at school all day and wished she could homeschool too...I'm sure I will hear a lot of that too!
