Happily, people who get to know us seem to mostly like us. Certainly DS7 is a sweet, kind, polite, fun child with a happy outlook and a wide variety of interests, and kids nearly always like him. That makes it harder for people to reject us out of hand, I think. Thank goodness!
I think this is true for us too. DS is his own best commercial for homeschooling. He is well adjusted, very social, and happy. The neighbor kids clamor to spend time with him after school. However, he is a bit of a smart alec right now unfortunately.
