3 days agoI think there’s is a lot of value in a short term relationship especially if it ends well without lot of resentment or drama. That being said the best short term have a defined end date. For something like this it’s more nebulous communication will be important. At some point both of you will need to find someone that would work long term. You might both agree that you can casually date other people while dating
The younger you are and the newer this relationship the more time you have. If you are young there’s more time in your life to find a different partner and you don’t know what you want and same with him. If you’re relationship is new there is plenty of time for something else to break you up. There are other deal breakers out there
Homeschooling feels like an act of hubris. The idea that you and your partner know the same or more about education than trainer professionals is crazy. Each teacher has at least a college degree, most have a master’s and they all go through yearly refreshers on how to best teach on top of their on the job experience. How can one (or two) people do more than that?
On top of that your child will be exposed in their home life to things you know and think are important to understand. School can show them things you know you don’t know as well as things you don’t know you don’t know. I want my daughter to know things I don’t know and to expand her worldview beyond mine. Homeschooling limits their knowledge that what I know. (Which is usually the point to shelter a child from scary ideas which is not doing them any favors).
Can homeschooling be okay? Sometimes but not often enough and most people who do it aren’t prepared or qualified to do it
