It is a little uncomfortable taking the back seat, but someone did it for both of us! I know that you love your children and that seems to be of enough value to make it bearable or even fulfilling in the back seat. You are now a back seat driver! It sounds as if you are at peace with changing to this new mission. I’m afraid that once the children come, they become the priority.

I seriously think there is something wonderful to be said of a mother who has dreams and aspirations, desires and goals, and yet willingly chooses to put them on hold or modify them for her children's ultimate good. Who doesn't want a mom like that! A truly smart mom. ;-) “After doing some thinking on the matter, I realize that I’m willing to put some of my goals on hold or even reevaluate them all together for the sake of homeschooling my children, and that’s nice to know.”
