[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frankly, there was no intellectual stimulation in the career I had.  I was not surrounded by smart people. We all were just doing a job to earn a paycheck.

I love being a SAHM because it has allowed me the opportunity and time to expand my horizons.  I teach my kids at home and I have basically studied in-depth all subjects that they are being taught from K-12 so that I could be a resource to them.  Bad public school teachers, school closings, lack of textbooks, substitute teachers, poor curriculum did not faze me.

I also continue to read, study, take seminars, and learn new skills for my own enjoyment. [/quote]
both my kids and I would rather poke our eyes out than me home school.[/quote]
Agreed. I’m also not delusional enough to think I’m a better teacher than someone with a masters in education. Many (many!) people should not homeschool. That becomes more obvious once children are a bit older, at which point it’s much harder to catch up. [/quote]
