You can do this, especially since it's been brought up and you are now aware of it.


I agree. I think it's behavior we aren't aware of that is problematic.

I just don't accept without some sort of evidence that certain combinations of people are a guaranteed bad match for homeschooling. I know permissive parents and hard-nosed parents with all combinations of personalities in their kids who homeschool. I know it can be done by anyone. Sometimes the parents have to adapt a bit to make it work, but it can be done successfully by anyone.

Again, that doesn't mean YOU ought to. Just that I don't personally buy this as a reason for not.
