But we decided to take the good in both cultures and do what we think is best for our family. As far as I remember , Homeschooling is not big in my Country either. We will send our girls to school , and it is a blessing to be able to stay home with them for their young years. And If I'm called to home school them someday, I'll gladly do it for them. Thank you for stopping by!!

From this side I can say you will never be sorry you made this decision. I understand there are some it's just not possible for.

I really admire that you're doing what you wanted and longed to do. It's also so interesting to see how different cultures respond to this. When something is normal and accepted in one country and almost outlawed in another. It's against the law to homeschool in Sweden. But school starts the year your little one turns 7 - so that's a good few years to have them at home for those who want to do that.<br /><br />Thanks for linking to the #SHINEbloghop.

Thank you for the very kind comment. I really do appreciate it , as far as following thing is concerned. I tried to remove the "add this" widget or at least edit it..I just couldn't. I do not know how. So what I did was to put a separate Follow me links on each of my list. Hope that works! if not, let me know! and thank you for letting me know.

Being a mama is a complicated task. It is not always the easy option and it is very difficult and exhausting. I think others sometimes think we get to stay and watch tv and eat bon bons. LOL. BTW, tried to follow you and each time it came up with errors and said "That page doesn't exist". I didn't know if anyone else was having that concern. Have a beautiful day!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08819596317948893680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2823858747803898663.post-66629601682031253742014-07-11T03:47:27.401-07:002014-07-11T03:47:27.401-07:00Deciding on whether to be a working Mum or a stay ...Deciding on whether to be a working Mum or a stay at home Mum is certainly personal choice. When we had children I wanted to be there for them - not saying that working Mums aren't there for their children, it's just that I wanted to be there when they needed me. I too wanted to watch them grow and I didn't want other people setting the boundaries for our children, that is the job of the parents and it's not always honoured or respected by others.<br /><br />Staying at home is certainly not the easy option as we live on a tight budget and sometimes my head is spinning, but if we raise two people that are happy and comfortable in their own skin an who respect and feel for others then it has all been worth it.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your story.
