Re: Age Gap Question

This. Once you actually get into the real adult world, you realize there is far less difference between people of different ages than you think when you're all working and living independently.

As an example, I'm in my 40s. I have friends ranging in age from their late 20s all the way up into their 70s because we share hobbies/interests or met at a shared social activity and found out that we got along well. This is completely normal.

I think part of this is simply the result of strict age segregation in schools. Homeschooled kids tend to be much more comfortable interacting with people they share interests with, without acting like age should automatically put them above younger kids or below older kids, or keep them away from knowledgeable adults. And IME, that translates into a more accepting attitude towards adults hanging around with (and marrying) whoever they genuinely like.

Wow, I have seen the exact opposite. Maybe it’s because homeschooling in most of this region is for religious reasons, but the homeschooled kids around here draw much stricter lines around “people my age,” “adults/authority figures” and “younger kids who need to be monitored/taught/protected from society.” Meanwhile, the kids in public school all have afterschool jobs and activities that have led to them having to deal with people in the general public who are older and younger than them in much less regimented settings.

AYRT Hm, you're right, that might be a "how conservative and authoritarian are your homeschoolers?" thing.
