Thanks Jellyfish (and Heaven) I often read the links Heaven posts on facebook about homeschooling and always want to share them, but we had been keeping our home educating thoughts fairly quiet. I only recently found out that hubby had even mentioned it to his family (I was worried they would be really critical, which is silly because they are an awesome family-in-law). Then I re-posted a website with some homeschooling stats recently (one that showed how fantastic homeschoolers are doing and excelling beyond their peers for all areas including socially) and one of my cousins (who I haven't seen since I was a kid) was really negative about homeschooling, so now I'm nervous about posting and sharing homeschooling things again. Yup, silly I know. I'm quite confident in our choice and the reasons behind it, so I just need to own the decision and be confident and positive
