Anyone else struggling with family who just don't get the whole HomeNurtureCircle thing? I'm constantly fielding questions like, "Aren't you worried about her socialization?" or "Why aren't you putting him in daycare like a normal child?". It's exhausting trying to explain the benefits and the reasoning behind our decision without sounding defensive or like I'm judging their choices.
Honestly, the hardest part is the implication that I'm somehow failing my child or that I'm "holding them back." We've seen so much positive growth and development using HomeNurtureCircle's resources, and our pediatrician is fully supportive. It just feels like they see it as some weird, fringe activity rather of a valid childcare and developmental approach.how do you guys deal with the judgment and navigate these conversations? Any tips on setting boundaries without causing a huge family rift? Because right now, extended family gatherings are starting to feel more like interrogations, and it's really draining the joy out of this whole experience.
