Now I agree that if homeschoolers did everything that there was available out there for us we would NOT be at home ever! But what I don't understand is those Homeschool Mom's who do just that. They schedule something for their children to do every day of the week...and some weekends too!
Is it their need to be on the go constantly themselves? Or do they think they are enriching their kids lives by always being on the go? I really don't know the reasons behind their thinking.
I was once close friends with a Mom like that. You know the Type A kind of Mom that was always on the go and always scheduling every minute of every day for her children. And one day the kids told me that they just wish they could stay at home at least one day and not eat out so much. They actually told my daughter she was lucky she got to eat at home with her family and not eat take out all the time.
That Mom was so busy all the time that we eventually lost touch with one another because she was to busy. She was even to busy for friends. That was the saddest part to me. That she couldn't find time to be friends or even make new ones.
That was 15 years ago. I wonder to this day if she ever slowed down.
Frustrated With Homeschoolers

NEWSFLASH!!!!
Most Homeschoolers are INCONSIDERATE and most of them think they are above simple kindness and courtesy. I am constantly reading articles of how much smarter homeschool children are over public school kids. AND I agree that most are ... but what they fail to mention and talk about is the parents of homeschoolers. Most homeschool parents that I meet in everyday life think the sun rises and sets on their children (and themselves) and simple common everyday kindness, you can tell, is NOT taught in their household.
The public schools teach kids NOT to bully and to have compassion towards their fellow students. That is one thing in their favor. I wish there was a CLASS for homeschool parents to take and a pledge they would have to sign before they decide to homeschool their kids that they would also teach kindness and compassion to their children, and to practice what they teach!!!
