    Not only are the words in the two videos true, but it was creative, entertaining, and brought a huge smile to my face.

    Seriously, where do I get started?!?! What a great community you have in homeschooling! Love it (and only a little jealous because as I’ve said before, I couldn’t do it!)

    It’s funny how much the casually cruel words of a stranger can hurt. Intellectually, you know that some weirdo’s opinion matters not at all, but it still feels like a sucker punch to the gut. Your children are adorable, well-behaved, and you are an awesome homeschool mom.

    Rachel, it is so sweet of you to say so! Thank you. It really did sucker punch me. I was very aware of her behavior and was dealing with it. How it related to being homeschooled was a little bit of a stretch for me though!

    wow, what a stupid thing to say! I am not surprised, tho. I have to say, I don’t lie awake at night worrying that my kids won’t know how to stand in line. Somehow, in life, they will manage it.

    -she’s 4, that is why she has trouble standing in line! She also has trouble not spilling drinks of juice…!!!

    I’ve always wanted to reply to such snark with, “oh, you must have been public schooled and learned rudeness there!”
    but, I am always to nice to actually do that to someone…but, one of these days!

    I’m visiting from the Hip Homeschool hop! 🙂

    I feel sad when I hear how openly judgmental people can be. Especially those of other generations who have gone before us and know from experience how trying parenthood can be. You are a better person for taking the high road.

    Stopping by from the hop – look forward to reading more of your blog!
