I wish I could stay home and home school. But that would mean giving up the horses and the farm and that's our way of life and our kids will benefit from it. But if husband ever made enough I'd do it in a heartbeat.
I don't think that homeschool the way you guys do it is questionable at all! But I see people at work all the time that parents isolated and they don't have a clue. Not only because they were homeschooled obviously but I always have to wonder what the difference would have been if they had went. There are people that just do it for the wrong reasons.
I was a social butterfly and school came easy so socializing happened the whole day. I can not imagine missing that as a child. You first learn muti tasking writing notes to friends and listening to the teacher while trying to not get caught lol! I still talk to many of the people I went to school with and while many are just Facebook friends others are lifelong close friends.
