Just Pull Your Kids Then!!!

[Boymom]

I think I posted about this a few months ago about how a dcm CONTINUOUSLY asks if I'm putting my 4 year old in preschool. I told her no because I'm going to teach him here. He already knows his entire alphabet, can almost count to 100, knows how to write his name, knows every shape, every color, etc etc etc. And I'm working with him on his reading. I can't afford to put him in preschool anyways!

But she's asking I think because she wants to put her son in preschool. Then do it already!!! I told her the last few times she asked me that I'm NOT putting my son in preschool. I don't know why she keeps asking me. She just sent me a text asking me again. What should I do?

Text back. "I already answered you. Stop."

"My son doesn't need preschool. he will be starting kindergarten next year"

[Boymom]

I've actually considered terming them anyways, so maybe this is the perfect opportunity haha!

"I've decided not to do preschool." Sounds like she wants a definite "no" from you.

This. I think I posted before about this being her way of seeing if you are going to transport.

I didn't think about the transport thing, but they already drop-off/pick-up his older sibling at school, so I don't think they would need that. Also, when she asks me and I say I'm not putting my son in preschool, she says, "well, we need dcb to learn his numbers because he's skipping them." I work with him every day!

I just wish she would stop hinting around about it.

I'm sure he would love it if you counted with him at home, too, dcm!

I might say "dcm, it sounds as if you really want DCB in more of a school environment. I completely understand, if my son wasn't doing as well with my homeschooling I might persue that as well. I totally understand if you need to give me your two week notice. I know school is starting soon so you may want to get on that now."

Just let it roll off your back! And then when she asks say..."I would really miss dcb but I've heard xyz is a great preschool." And if you offer preschool..."if you are looking for a different kind of environment you could try xyz.."

Yes this is the route I'd take.

Yes when I am asked about preschool for dd, my respond is always. "yes, I will be homeschooling her more" for some reason once I stopped saying no and started saying Yes, homeschool, the reaction I got changed.

"No." They ask again? "No." NO NO NO. I wouldn't give any other answer.

I'd ask her why she keeps asking you the same question over and over.
