Hedgehog Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I had a snippy little comment passed my way recently, about our homeschooling. DH is not generally too perceptive, but this one obviously got his goat and he went in there all guns blazing. I never knew he had so many reasons for homeschooling! He knows the book better than me!! The funny thing is that for the most part, he's quite happy to let me do it the way I choose and really doesn't want to participate in the choices (and agonising ;) ) that goes with it. So it kinda took me by surprise... Anyone else have a spouse who's got more reasons for your family to homeschool than you?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalicoKat Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 This year is the first year we've switched. He's totally like, "We're homeschooling f o r e v e r!" And I'm not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tullia Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 LOL, good for your dh! I'm retired from hsing but this sounds a lot like my dh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommyfaithe Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 My husband is definitely more pro-homeschooling than I am...and he is definitely more opposed to sending them to a school than I am...yet, I am the one who schools and makes all the school decisions. He is really proud of our kids, me and our homeschool and doesn't mind telling everyone how he feels. Faithe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionfamily1999 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 The last time I mentioned putting the boys in school dh said he'll drop them off out at the "Frog Pond" (local sketchy icky place) and let them teach the kids... it'll turn out the same anyway. I was surprised to find he felt so vehemently about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy101 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 My dh is. Which is saying something because I'm not exactly half hearted about it.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Dh is not more pro-hs than I am, but he'll defend it like nobody's business! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I've been surprised how dh has quietly over the years gone from being on the fence about homeschooling to being 100% for it. I'm still for it too but have my moments of burn-out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarreymere Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Yeah, mine is. He is constantly on his forums and facebook with pro-homeschooling stuff and always ready to leap in and 'educate' anyone face to face who is unfortunate enough to ask the 'S' question or say anything remotely critical of homeschooling. I think he has pretty much completely intimidated our entire county CPS staff so far (he works in the same office doing MH) and none of them will so much as whisper any disapproval of home education within his hearing. He is also a rabid libertarian and would love to go off the grid (and probably off the map) if we could. He is a very interesting guy to be married to, no way I will ever get bored with this one.

Daisy Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Yes, but mostly because he is a public school teacher and sees things I never do and never have (since I never attended public school). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mynyel Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I wish mine was, I think he tolerates it. However, we have been major slackers for the last few months :D That could have something to do with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
