RE: Update: Standing my ground against Child Protective Services - They're showing their true colours
Wow! I had been wondering about your story and just was reading @crosheille 's post and she mentioned you, so I had to come check. I need to read your next newest one too. So sorry that you're dealing with this. Are there other homeschool families in the area as well that are having similar problems or is this just a thing for you at the moment?
@apanamamama thank you for reading and your kind words. At the moment I am their only target as far as I know, but I'm sure there are others out there that I haven't heard about. The Irish like to keep things like that to themselves so it would be hard to hear anything like this from them. It seems that they prey on single parents most. I have a friend (who recently moved away from here) who they tried to mess with as she is from Venezuela and speaks English but with a Spanish accent. They were trying to say that she could impossibly teach her children since her English was broken English. They were very intimidating. Fortunately for her she is married to a (Dutch) man who wasn't present when they initially came. When they came for a second visit, her 6ft3 husband was very clear with them: their children were raised speaking three languages and as soon as they could say this about themselves he would have a cup of coffee with them and a good chat....It was so funny to hear this, but it intimidated them enough to leave them alone.
Wow, that would be rather intimidating to meet him at the door! Amazing their kids speak all three languages! Those baby brains are like sponges. I need to do a better job teaching my kids Spanish!! ;) Anyway, so crazy that they target single parents. I hope that it will be resolved and they'll leave you alone soon.
