Whine alert.......I just had a conversation with my mom who I thought was supportive of my homeschooling in a quiet sort of way. We were talking about my youngest dd and I said that she is really loving her cheerleading class that she is taking and my mom came back with(in a snarky sort of way), well she is never going to get to do real cheering if you don't send her to "real" school. =( I was so disappointed that I didn't even bother to argue that homeschoolers can do any sport at school if they want. I homeschoooled my middle dd from 5th - 8th and she never said anything negative to me about it. I guess she knew that I was giving dd the choice to go to high school (A choice that I regret), so that made it ok. Well, I'm done whining. =(
I feel like I backed down and did not stand up for what I believe is right. I'm wondering, what would you have said in that situation?
