I have neighbors who are always asking ME to homeschool their children

Why don't they want to do it? My neighbor asked me to do the same thing! I don't get this mentality of brushing your kids off on someone else. If people don't want to raise their kids, why have them?

I hear all kinds of excuses from people letting other people raise and educate their kids.

1. We can't afford it. (What they really mean is "Mom has to work so we can afford that second car and nice house.)

2. We live in a good school district. (What difference this makes, I have no idea...it's still someone else raising your kids)

3. My kids are too strong-willed for me to homeschool. (What they really mean is disobedient).

4. I don't have the patience. (They can't be bothered...too busy doing their own thing. Their kids already take up too much of their valuable time.)

5. I'm not smart enough to teach my kids...I don't have enough college education. (And yet this guy is smart enough?)

Every time I hear the phrase, "I can't wait for school to start and my kids get out of my house." I cringe. How very sad to not have a willing heart toward one's kiddos.

I *love* having my daughter with me. I *love* being a mother and home educator. I *love* the close bond we have.
