It has been fun getting up every morning to take Chase (and Alyssa) to soccer camp.  Chase is enjoying the sport and I am enjoying the fellowship with other moms as he plays.

I get the same interesting comment every time I mention that I am homeschooling Chase. Moms usually say the same thing: "Wow! That is great! I wish that I could homeschool my kids.  But I just can not do it.  I am too____________ (fill in the blank) disorganized, not smart enough, don't like being around my kids that much, impatient". I try to explain to these well-meaning moms that I am no superhero and I depend on prayer and God to get me through so far.  I try to let them know that there are many groups and other resources available today to help any motivated mom homeschool her children. I stop short of telling moms that where this is a will, there is a way because, well, it sounds so trite although I believe it to be true.

I am a big homeschool advocate and I take my role of "evangelizing" about homeschooling, especially to Christian parents, very seriously.  I would like to see much larger numbers of Christian parents taking a serious role in educating their children.  I want to be very effective in helping parents see why homeschooling is the best route for most and understand that they too can homeschool. I do not want to be off-putting however and would like to build non-adversarial relationships with non-homeschool moms.

What do other homeschool moms say to these comments?
