Halloween party
nrskay
On Halloween night my dd met up with one of her friends from
school. At first it was kind of awkward. This girl started
bragging about all the "cool" stuff in junior high. At first I was
thinking (OMG), my dd will want to return to school, (she's been
gone for 3yrs now). My dd turned to her friend and said that was
nice and smiled.
Then in the car on the way home from the party she told me she is so
happy that she is home. "They just don't know how good I have it."
Apparently through out the night this girl wouldn't stop going on
and on how great school is. My dd said "she was trying to make me
jealous because I'm homeschooled."
I was impressed with my dd(11 yo) and how she handled the whole
thing. If it were me I would have gone on and on about how great I
had it at home and how what a waste school is.

That sure did take alot of confidence for your dd to say that to you about
how good she has it at home, considering the peer presure and all that
ugly stuff that goes with it. Myself, I try sometimes to avoid confrontation
when explaining my homeschooling, everyone that is against homeschool
in general, just wants you to think, act,look, just like them.It is a mute
point for me at times, because they are not going to convince me otherwise
so why waste my time,energy on such hopeless people.
Maybe your dd felt the same deep down. She knows and that's all that
matters to her. It takes a bigger person sometimes to just walk away with a
confident smile

My son, 17 months old, went trick-or-treating for the first time this
year (I made him a costume as a black cat). We did a total of like
seven houses. After the first three, he got the idea and started
knocking on the doors with me. :)

You have a future of discovering MANY times how much you'll be
impressed with your lovely daughter, Kay. These kids are truly
amazing - those of us who spend MOST of our time with unschooled kids
can tend to forget how wonderful they really are, start taking it for
granted, so thanks for the reminder.
