My whole thing was I don't want to be tied to a nine to five.

I want to travel.

I want to have freedom.

But if I go put my kid in school, she's now in essentially a nine to five and I'm kind of tied to her nine to five.

So I'm still kind of working through like what that's going to practically look like.

But there is such an appeal to me in homeschooling for sure.

Yeah.

You have so much.

It's just I think it's great.

I think there's not the only con is socialization.

But homeschooling now versus how people were homeschooled in the 90s is very different.

yeah because back then it was kind of like weird it was weird i was a you should see me i had a unibrow all through high school no way i was so weird you gotta throw up a photo of that on the it's i don't even yeah i have on my man unibrow super weird i was like really into lord of the rings and my email address was like aon at gmail.com or something like i was you had a three letter gmail well whatever aon rocks or something right but like the fact that i'm referencing a character from the lord of the rings in my actual email address like that's embarrassing yeah

It really is.

I think once you get through the like, it was really rough coming from being very sheltered into the real world.

So like that was like called the going from like a senior in high school to a freshman in college was a very rough experience.

transition because you're figuring out a lot of social things that you should have learned at 13 and you're figuring them out at like 18 19 that was very rough that was hard but um it's fine it wasn't a big deal and I think that now you know that I have been homeschooled and I can see where

the pitfalls are, you can easily work around them.

You know, cause my parents weren't homeschooled.

They didn't know.

So they were kind of figuring out and doing the best that they could.
