Hey Mom, have questions about Homeschooling? Here’s what other moms had to say.

Have you ever had to defend your decision to homeschool? If so, what did you say?

Christine

Maybe moreso than some others as one of my children has special needs. Nay-sayers don't usually know our schedule, social life, sports, responsibilities, etc. We are SO MUCH better off now - she shows tremendous improvement in her quantity of education and quality of life overall!

Yes! I actually don’t say much just listen- seems everyone starts talking about all the pressures of public school and the bad influences... then I just have to say, “Yes, that’s why we homeschool!” 😀

In the beginning, I always went to the most detail of why I do, now I just tell people I enjoy spending time with my children and not pawning them off so I can have me time and tell myself they need socializing to make myself feel better. Shuts them up Everytime.
