You know your husband better than any of us on here, but what I think honestly, is that you are doubting yourself at homeschooling. It is hard to teach your child at home and even with asking simple homeschooling questions on here there are tons of people out here willing to put us down and judge us. Your husband might be sincere with his change of heart, but since we are ridiculed so much you might just be preparing yourself for the downfall, which may never come. Just keep doing what your doing for your son. As long as your son is happy, and safe, that's all that matters.
Does it really matter?
Just do what floats ur boat.
Do it. And once you start, don't stop.
If your husband tends to be devious like that, then no, I don't think you are wrong to be suspicious. I can think of two perfectly good explanations, though. He may have talked to someone else about the issue, and that person supported your position, so now you have more credibility, because this was not just your opinion (if your husband is a jealous person, someone also may have suggested that having the children at home all day decreases the possibility of your having an affair, too!). Also, it is possible that he heard of something negative that happened at a school, either the one your children currently attend, if they are now in school, or just a school in general, which scared him about the idea of sending your kids to school.
Well go for it! Ask him what changed his mind. Maybe he read or heard something somewhere else that helped persuade him. Whatever the case, you have the green light, go for it!
Go for the homeschooling and be thankful he is supporting you.
My husband was against it when I first mentioned it too. I prayed the Lord would show each of us His will and I did what I could to find answers to all his questions. He changed his mind. We are now in our 13th year of homeschooling.
a better education for your child
It sounds like he's got an opening mind, anyway. Whether you homeschool or not, it's important that both parents can stand in agreement. Furthermore, if something doesn't work out, either way, you can change it later. You both love your kiddo and want what's best for him--right?
My husband was same way and what changed his mind was changing careers. He started driving a school bus for middle school/high school.
Two weeks into school year, he came home and said, "It is time we home school". We have different reasons for home schooling but it worked out.
If you have been nagging your husband, it may be just a way to get you to quit nagging. If he has given you the 'go ahead', then ...go ahead.
I don't know him so you have to go with what is on your heart. I say if he gives his go ahead then homeschool and try it out to see if it works.
