10 signs you might be homeschooler
10 Signs that you might be a homeschooler:
1.Your children act as though it is a strange and unusual punishment to be asked to get dressed complete with socks and shoes.
8. You start dreaming about moving to the country, even if you don't want to live in the country. There would be lots of room for the kids to roam, on-site nature study and the potential for animals -how educational they would be! (Due to his goat-raising experience, my husband knew more about breastfeeding than I did when we had our first child."You need to be sure to empty that out and massage any hard spots to avoid mastitis".)
9. Your children sometimes think they are adults. You may find your children listening attentively to adult conversations, instead of running off to play with the children. This can be annoying, until you remember that you are trying to train them to be thoughtful adults and children learn best by modeling.
10. Your children exhibit skills unseen in most of their peers. It is not uncommon to find a home-schooled child that can do laundry, make meals for the family and earn and budget money for things they want. When children are a part of real life all the time they can learn to do real life stuff.

2. Your children talk to adults.
3. You are at home so much, you begin to make stuff there. Like Sauerkraut. And soap. and whole Lego Universes. If you can do your own education, what else could you do? Refinish your own furniture, stuff your own sausage, grow spinach, the options are endless.
4. Your children play with kids of all ages. They don't seem to realize that they are supposed to be divided up by age and grade.
5. Your children play well with their siblings, they are in fact, the best of friends. (Even though you can't always tell that by the way fight over who gets to sit on the special bench)
6. Your children ask unusually thoughtful questions. You may be having a quiet lunch at Costco when your oldest chimes in, "I wonder where they get their sauerkraut."
7. You find yourself strangely drawn to educational events, such as Renaissance Fairs, War Reenactments, and free museum openings and concerts, taking advantage of opportunities where someone else does all the work to make history, art and science come alive.
