First of all :grouphug:. I haven't had the same experience as you. I have not had anyone get "mad" because I am homeschooling. I HAVE had a lot of people just kind of look at me in that awkward kind of way that says "really" "why?". I simply tell them that it is the best decision for us.
I think alot of people are really just curious. We are always getting questioned about homeschooling.
I think that it is normal to have ps friends kind of slip away because you are not in the same mindset as they are. I have freinds whose children do go to public school, but I definitely feel more comfortable with my friends that are homeschool moms. We all gain and lose friends throughout life depending on where we are in our journey.
I agree with the previous posters, just don't talk about homeschooling with the friends that you know are totally against it. If they ask how school is going, just say it is wonderful, thank you. Then come over here and rant and rave when you have bad days!:lol: We understand!
