One of those friends is Sarah Avila from My Joy Filled Life. Large family, homeschooling, you name it, her blog has something for you! Sarah is currently hosting a 26 week series called The ABCs of Homeschooling and I have the privilege of writing for her this week!
Honestly, I could have also named this post "Dumb things people ask homeschooling moms," but I figured that would not be very nice. I teach my children it is important to be nice, after all. Which is one of the reasons why I have tried to give nice, well thought out answers to all said questions.
The other reason to give a well thought out and kind answer is that we, as homeschoolers, represent homeschoolers. By answering people kindly and honestly, we hopefully give homeschoolers a good representation. And maybe even win a few people over to the dark side! ;) But trust me, behind every one of those "right" answers is a snarky one just trying to get out.
Maybe you know what I mean...

DeleteTired of the dumb questions, I answered the same old question asked by a dad at church with "We just let them run wild all day." I have regretted that hasty response so many times. A gentle kind answer is so much better.
ReplyDeleteBeen there Jennifer!!
