This made me laugh a little, because it reminded me of a conversation I had about homeschooling with an old friend when I was first starting--
She said the most negative comment she got when she started homeschooling was from her sister, who said, "oh, you can't homeschool, everybody will think you're some flaky hippie!"
I told her that the most negative comment I got when I started homeschooling was from my brother, who said, "oh, you can't homeschool, everybody will think you're some hardcore fundamentalist."
We don't agree about very many things (religion, politics, etc.), but she (a hardcore fundamentalist) and I (a flaky hippie) both agreed that our siblings were pretty hilarious.
