How to Respond, When you Get the You are doing to do WHAT? Question

I am glad you have come back to visit. Please leave a comment so I know you were here, I love getting to know my readers. Have a blessed Day, Betty

Well, first off I am a bit more out spoken on this topic then some I know.  However, I also feel that if someone is going to ask, imply or otherwise try to attempt to make me to question our decision to homeschool at this point in our juncture, then I have every right to defend, and inform them of our reasons and other information about homeschooling.  I am told that it could be the fact that I am of German and Swedish blood.  Apparently I have a bit of inner bred spiciness in me. lol

I know, to some, that may seem harsh.  However, after several years of being overly nice with my responses, and still having the same people start up the same debate, I have become a little less nice.  I give them facts straight, then kindly ask them to change the topic. 

I don’t ask others why in the world they send their children to public school, why should they badger me over our decisions.  The way I respond many times has to do with how the questions or comments were made.  Were they simply asking because they are curious?  or Were they asking because they want to meddle in our lives?  Are they maybe asking for more information to be able to make informed decisions for their own family?  I try very hard to take into consideration and to be sensitive to others.  However, there are about 5 people I know, who I talk with on a regular basis, who I can not avoid, that I have to be able to stand my ground and hold firm to what we are doing and why. 

Many times my responses are backed with Deuteronomy 6.  I challenge you to read and find out why…
