When I was in my 20's I was much more in to "socializing" and leaving my kids behind. At 40, I am content to be with them. I have no desire to hang out and drink with people, or go on vacation with other families (unless it is a weekend camping outing). <br /><br />I have experienced the same attitudes from friends, and I do believe at times they are envious of the homeschool lifestyle. <br /><br />Keep on keeping on! :)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14479304857245688749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914993724763982306.post-33750909380416214562012-07-03T15:47:53.888-05:002012-07-03T15:47:53.888-05:00I think you just read my mind.

The ladies that at my homeschool co-op are all getting together for a planning meeting for our next school year. It involves a spending a weeknight at a hotel and shopping the next day. Guess who isn't going. I will attend the evening before but I am a homebody also. Plus I don't want to ask my hubby to take a day off work. I'd rather he save it for our camping trips:)Jill Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02300510970674201693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914993724763982306.post-79791252228989443352012-07-02T14:18:30.342-05:002012-07-02T14:18:30.342-05:00So true!

But with 7 kids, 4 grandkiddos, 3 son-in-laws, and my mother-in-law living right next door, "socialization" for mom is a rare thing. I am thankful that my sister and a few other moms who are like sisters to me all have kids that we homeschool. We do go to the beach, park days, and field trips together. And all the kids help out with all the little ones- it is a different sort of socialization, and I like it! :)Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14791937803209189384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914993724763982306.post-7810178547155475182012-07-02T11:26:38.354-05:002012-07-02T11:26:38.354-05:00I really enjoyed reading this post.
