I have found that if I take my kids out during these hours (which I do, for the same reasons that you listed), this is when I am most likely to meet other homeschooling families, also out. This has turned out to be a blessing for us b/c we are transplanted and don't know anyone in our area yet. And I always have a standard answer prepared, just in case. For example, b/c I have 3 little ones ages 6 and under people are ALWAYS saying to me "oh my, you sure have your hands full!", which kind of ruffles my feathers, so now I just say "yep, full of blessings!". I hate the idea that having several children, and being home with them MUST be a burden.<br />I say fear not, and be prepared. If you have a positive response, it usually stops most people in their negative tracks!Tashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04820434226236422627noreply@blogger.com
