[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of our kids attend church as adults, in fact they say our religion is a cult now. They were home schooled and attended church school. Their kids go to public school and don't regularly attend church. They drink alcohol and challenge godly teachings they were raised with.  In fact they blame us and the church for a lot of their adult problems. I feel like coming back to church would help these problems, but they reject it. [b]It makes me question what was it all for.[/b]

Anyone's adult kids come back around to the church in time?

OP, what was it all for, in your view?[/quote]

Homeschooling was very difficult, lots of conflicts and fights daily. Also, the loss of one income was hard to recover from. It seems like a huge waste of time, money and energy.[/quote]

Did you ignore some special needs?

My friends ignored their kid’s obvious ADHD and dyslexia, and decided to pull her out of public because of “bullying” and “bad teachers”, without realizing the issues stemmed from her learning difficulties. They invested time and money into homeschooling. Their kid asked to be evaluated as an older teen… and lo and behold, those diagnoses appeared.

But sadly it’s been years of hating reading and hating learning due untreated ADHD and dyslexia. She didn’t learn much. College is not in the cards. These parents blew up their kid’s entire future because they refused to listen to the teachers and some of their friends and relatives.

I don’t know you or your kids. But perhaps there’s something else going on, and since they don’t know what it is, they’re blaming your church and the homeschooling. Which are by themselves difficult enough!!!
