What do I tell my in-laws that do not understand homeschooling?
Answered By Helene Erlbaum and Robin Davies, Editors
If you have in-laws who completely do not
understand homeschooling, let them ask
questions. Let them know that homeschooling
is a family affair and that you feel parents
and other family members are a part of your
child's education. Help them become supportive.
If, on the other hand, your in-laws seem
belligerent or negative to your
homeschooling, try to stay away from
homeschooling topics. When they interfere,
let them know you are the child's parent and
are capable of making those decisions for the
child. Then, stear away from the subject.
They understand how you feel, but you don't
allow one another to get into an
uncomfortable disagreement.
Over time, as your in-laws see your
children becoming wonderful, warm and bright
children, they will not feel the need to
interfere as much. Time usually takes care
of this misunderstanding.
