That is the extent of dh's argument for why the kids need to go to school. I too want the kids to go to school... but not til 3-5th grade-ish. I REALLY want to homeschool through 2nd grade... (and we'll see what happens after that)... Part of it is finances... I do eventually have to go back to work but we're going to have one more, and my oldest is set to start kindergarten next fall.
But, how do you argue with that?
I did join a homeschool coop - they have a 3-5 class. But, I don't think dh will ever be around it/them.
And... he's totally mainstream. He thinks its weird that when asked what he wanted for christmas, my oldest didnt have a real answer. Some of his wants: an elephant, a bell, a seal, a candy cane, etc... not a single BRANDED thing on the list. Ok, that is weird (to dh) but it makes a mama proud!
He doesn't really want to talk about it - just "they're going to school, don't start" and he's done...
I've started sending him blurbs to read (he won't read books, but he'll skim online articles I send him - or I think he does) ... but I just can't figure out how to prove homeschooling won't turn our kids weird...
