[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 734454, member: 16024"] I never felt judged for any of my choices—staying at home, working, homeschooling, single motherhood, dating with kids, etc. I remember back in the 90s, when I first looked into homeschooling. There were so many horror stories about police/school district/government officials giving people a hard time. Many who homeschooled seemed to feel that people judged them and were out to get them. They warned me not to go out during the school day with my kids and such. I found the opposite to be true. Most people I talked to were curious, supportive of at least having the choice, many wished they could do it. If they didn’t like it, they didn’t say anything to me about it. Except my mom, of course. But I have never had a stranger say anything negative about any of my choices. I was interviewed for the small-town newspaper and they had great feedback. I started support groups and classes and brought more people in. It was all positive. [/QUOTE]
