I wouldn't take those kinds of comments too seriously. No matter how you live your life, there is always someone who is going to think badly of your choices. And there will always be someone more religious than you who thinks your choices are not as godly as theirs. You can't please everyone with your life. And it isn't your job anyway.
God knows us as individuals, and He knows what is right for us all. Other humans don't.

Thanks, Relena. Odd as it may sound, I didn't take it personally. For the record, I do not want to marry or have children. But it wasn't exactly my lifelong goal to avoid repulsing Calmador. Seriously though, I just didn't think "repulsive" was a good word to throw around regarding brothers or sisters in Christ, and I decided to tell him so.

Just a few non-abstract responses from someone who's actually been a Christian working wife to a godly man and mother to a grown son who honors God above all things:
1. When a mom with an outside job gets home, trust me...she is very "busy at home".
2. Training a child up in the way he/she should go is the responsibility of both parents. That doesn't come from homeschooling. It comes from a child observing parents 24/7: How parents behave when no one is watching; how parents react to difficulties/hardships, how parents express thankfulness and humility in times of blessing; how parents treat one another AND their children, as well as others; how parents mind their tongues/tempers/attitudes; how parents honor the things of God; how parents worship the Lord and communicate with Him OUTSIDE of the church building; etc.
3. Homeschooling does have its benefits, but public schools have their benefits as well, one of which is teaching a Christian child how to live in the world, but be not of it. Homeschoolers eventually have to enter the workplace and I've seen a great many have difficulty with this very thing.

It didn't allow any personal time for my ex and I though. Which in hindsight, was a blessing.
