Where are all these people coming from?

ITA...my poor unsocialized DD spent most of today with 3 equally unsocialized home schoolers earning an advanced horseback riding badge for girl scouts. Tomorrow another poor unsocialized home schooler is coming over the spend the night. The 2 poor unsocialized girls will be going to parties on both Sat and Sunday

PS...wish your kiddo happy birthday from me

ETA: I can't wait to hear the...but they aren't around anyone but other homeschoolers.... Which isn't usually the case outside of our homeschool activities. Even if it were the case so what. Do you take your child out of public school and take them to home school activities so they will be around someone other than those in public school?

ETA: RK if you had ever been around anyone who is homeschooled, you would know just how ignorant and off base your post is. If you really think homeschooling is like what you described, you need a seious reality check.

The American Heritage Dictionary:

v. so·cial·ized, so·cial·iz·ing, so·cial·iz·es

v. tr.

1. To place under government or group ownership or control.

So, of course homeschooled kids are unsocialized. And I plan to keep mine that way.

They must be figments of your homeschooled imagination. No, that can't be right. Homeschoolers don't have imaginations.

Darned if I know...

Happy B'day (in an unsocialized way).

All the best.

You mean to tell me that us unsocialized homeschoolers can leave the house and meet people? Imagine that!

Ha ha...sarcasm noted! I know what you mean. My unsocialized kids had to turn down two different park days today in favor of a skating party/weiner roast.

They are SO unsocialized! :) Happy Birthday to the kiddos!

not particularly talking yet with blind human beings all diverse adventure artwork plenty better sensible than with us who can see.. so what they actually propose is..

You are very smug about the "socialization" of your kids but you have entirely missed the point of that argument against home schooling (which is, of course, only one of many). They socialize only with people who are like them or have the same interests. They are never required to learn how to deal with people who are different from themselves, or how to resolve the inevitable conflicts that arise therefrom. So they will be unprepared for the world of college (unless you don't plan to send them there) and the world of work (unless you are independently wealthy). And although you are sarcastic about it (aka defensive), you are indeed limiting them and compromising their future. Sigh.

lol, tell me about it!! lol, every time i see somebody who goes 2 public skewl, they say, " how can u stand it?" then im like " stand what?" and they say " Not getn 2 b w ur friends or socialize any?"
