Does your family support homeschooling?
What about your family? Are they supportive? He says that he sees my point but we pay taxes to the school system anyway why not use it? I think that is not his only concern, maybe the “social” aspect too.”

Well meaning family members often share their concerns with us when they hear about our homeschooling. Mrs J shared her father-in-laws concerns in her post:
“I was telling my father-in-law the other day that J and I want to homeschool our kids. I know it is going to be hard sometimes, but I feel that is what I want for my kids. She says, “As for paying for public school anyway, why not use it? What are their concerns? We also pay for prisons, I don’t want to send my child there to get my monies worth either.”
