Today my father came to the house to use our computer to check a few things online. He stayed much longer than I thought he would and we talked about lots of things. Somehow the subject got to homeschooling and he surprised me with his support of the concept. I was so excited I immediately started talking about what we're doing with Arianna and how we were thinking about continuing it past preschool if all goes well.
I was very pleased that he thought it was a great idea. I've been so reluctant to mention anything to my parents because of what I thought their reaction would be. I'm glad to learn I was wrong about them...

I have been reading about your homeschooling plans and wondered how far you will do this? Is this a plan for just preschool or do you think that you will continue it?
Hi anonymous,
I actually don't have any plans beside preschool right now.
Homeschooling requires a big commitment, both financially and emotionally and we will be constantly reevaluating our position on it as the kids get older.
I would like to continue it as long as possible but I'm not committing to anything just yet. I may find I really dislike being home with my kids or the current economic climate leads hubby without a job etc.
Plus, I'm still learning about the school 'climate' in my hometown. Now that I'm not on bedrest I can finally get to some of the information meetings the various homeschooling groups hold to help me learn more.
