My own son is a chubby homeschooler. It’s just a genetic thing. His father and uncle were the same way as children.
Please don’t take my comment wrong, I am a supporter of homeschoolers, I just have a problem with the broadbrush comments made by the other poster that only HER experiences are valid, unless the experiences of others are in total agreement with her dogma.
I had one homeschool mom tell me she didn’t let her girls join Brownie Girl Scouts this year because of one of the bullies I mentioned above. I assured her there would be no problem next year, as that girl will not be back in GS, and so I know of at least 2 new members for our troop.
