I think for only children and parents of singletons the options are going to stack up very differently than for those choosing larger families, as it is quite true: two people (at any age) can’t be everything to each-other.

I wanted to homeschool but my daughter wanted to go to school. She used to look longingly at the older kids through the fence as we played in the park. It has been the best thing. Both my kids have loved school, have loved spending all day with friends, with teachers who make learning fun. I certainly couldn’t have fulfilled all those needs. I have helped teach my kids to know their own minds and to love the natural world but thank goodness for school, they know there is always the option of homeschooling but neither have yet taken up the offer
