Hey I homeschooled my daughter's and their father gave me a hard time for whole time, the eldest is now in college and the other wanted to go secondary school. I guess the only thing he could do is try take you to court but as long as you are providing an education for the child you are not breaking any laws. I say do it, maybe he will start to come round to it, but if he doesn't just be prepared for what he says or does. It's never too young to teach them. My youngest is two and already we are starting work with letters. It's an amazing journey good luck. X

@Emma my daughter and I already do loads to try to prove to her dad I can teach her. She counts to 20, can trace all number and letters, write half her name, starting to read and knows nearly all shapes , knows the alphabet, starting to tell the time, knows some phonics and lots of rhymes and songs, has a massive vocabulary, started to add up to 10 And for a 2 years 8 month old is doing so well and some how it's still not enough..... I just feel like I'm not gonna be able to do it and I'd hate to send her to school and her either be bullied or be the bully. I just worry with how schools are these days kids struggle so much, classes are so big that kids are struggling and not getting the help they need.

As a fellow homeschooler as first choice, my advice will be to use this time to get as many useful resources as you can that are free or affordable. There are different types of home schooling, find out which one you'd like to use. Join your local homeschooling group on Facebook as they have some local meet up to help with making friends for you and your child. When your partner sees how organised you are and see how much your child will learn in a short space of time compared with going to school they may come around. Another tip I'd recommend is having a budget from now and if you, can start saving towards resources you'd need.💓

Wow that's amazing, you are doing an incredible job, don't get stuck in the trying to make him see that what I did and he never did, it's like he just had a mental block and just wouldn't except that I knew what to do for my children. I took them out for those reasons school was just getting too much for them. The eldest changed so much and is now doing so well in college. I know she wouldn't have been that way had I have not took the time to work with her at home and look after her mental health. You may never get him on side which is such a shame. I hope you do and he sees what amazing work you are doing. Keep doing what you are doing x

Ask him to let you atleast trial it and if your using materials that support the national curriculum show him what youll use and show him how you want to do it so he gets a better idea
