One question that I do not like is when people ask, "How do you socialize?"

How? The same way adults that work from home and toddlers and everyone who's not in public school socializes--by meeting people and forming REAL friendships. Will I know the names of the ones I met in public school five years from now? Maybe. But will I remeber our conversations, the games we played...no. I hardly do now. Because they weren't REAL friends. And I think homeschooling gives you an opportunity to make those real friends.
