My husband and I are doing just that now. He is a paramedic and gave up his job to homeschool. We have 2 boys ages 10 and 11. This is our first time out but we are loving it already. Our income did drop slightly but the extra time as a family, the satisfaction of knowing what our children are taught and how they are taught it, more than makes up for the dip in income. I am so grateful we took the chance. We left our older children "renting" our house. So far- so good. I am traveling with Supplemental Health care and my recruiter has been a gem. Good luck to you..................
