Thank you for saying this. I am now working full time and it seems that every person I talk to does NOT understand anything. I feel like a foreigner. Everyone wanted to tell me why I shouldn't homeschool, even though I never asked for their opinion, and I would never tell them they should not send their kids to public school, even though I believed that. When I say I stayed home with my kids the usual response is, "That's nice that you had the luxury to do that." They do not know the financial hardship we endured, but made it happen. These are people who MUST have the latest car, technology, clothes, etc. I still live simply because I am happier that way. My kids and I are very close. Even Christian co-workers whom I thought were my friend backed away when I shared the election fraud. One person incredulously said, "Trump's your guy?!" They didn't care about the fraud or anything else I shared. I shared vax dangers with my mgr and she recommended I get counseling through EAP.

I stopped working to finish schooling and raising my children. NOW, I do it for my grandkids. Im exhausted, but WILL see it thru. (I worked in pharmacy and saw all the hypocracy!) Easy to walk away!

at one time, I gave GED testing (for high school diplomas) at a local College. it was an eye-opener to find out that those who generally scored the highest we're homeschoolers who needed to have their graduation diplomas. my conclusion was that they tried more and studied harder because they wanted to be sure they were keeping up with what the kids who attended High School learned. In truth, the homeschoolers went above and beyond what the high school attendees learned.
