“As a homeschooling mom I have not only iiiceurstnes, but also areas of pride.”Perfect timing on this post. My husband and I had this exact discussion yesterday and I was explaining to him about all my iiiceurstnes and pride when it comes to homeschooling. We had just spent a weekend with his family, and truth be told, we are the “odd” ones in the family because we homeschool. That is something that I have been dealing with and my desire to prove myself (and have my children prove themselves) has really been an issue. We will be finishing up Kindergarten material and starting my 5 year old on 1st grade material soon and when we told certain family members that, they were shocked. But in our defense, my daughter already had a jump-start on much of the K material so we actually didn’t do a lot of it. I don’t feel like we rushed her at all, and even though she “finished” Kindergarten in 4 months, she knows her stuff and is at all the benchmarks for her age. So why not just continue on with the next level?Anyway, my husband and I were just saying how we feel like the “problem” in our family’s eyes has now gone from “are we teaching her adequately” to “are you rushing/pushing her too much”. It just feels like we can never win.But I am convinced we are doing what we are supposed to be doing and we are proud of the things our daughter has accomplished. We are doing the best we can and we have to stop caring so much about the opinions of others and focus on that.So thanks for this post. You nailed it!
