I hope my parents don't see that Dr. Phil!! They are already against me homeschooling as it is. Each time my mom calls and asks if the kids are excited to get ready for school, the busride, new classmates, etc. My kids are still young, and I always have to remind ind them they go to Mommy school, and once in awhile accompany dad to his "big school" (college). All I need is another negative reinforcement for her!! I think (finally) my mother-in-law gets it, as she spent 6 days with us, and could see the progress my 3 year old had already made on his own--no pressure or curriculum from a pre-school. He has friends (her greatest fear), and is quite a nice kid, for his age. I mean, jee, he's only 3!! He doesn't need to be "socialized"!!!
