Being a voluntarist peaceful parent and at the same time having "normal people" around, is hard. Everyone and their grandma will talk behind your back, for being the one weird parent who wants to get his kids out of school.
Your own parents will treat you as a deranged hopeless individual, who will have his son taken away by social services sooner or later, "because you live in a society and this is how this society works, you cannot just do what you please".

Essere un genitore pacifico volontarista e trovarsi allo stesso tempo in mezzo a "gente normale", è proprio difficile. Tutti, dal primo all'ultimo, ti parlano alle spalle perché sei quello strano che vuole togliere i figli da scuola.
I tuoi stessi genitori ti trattano come un povero imbecille senza speranza, al quale un giorno i servizi sociali toglieranno i bambini, "perché vivi in una società e questo è come funziona la società, non puoi fare come ti pare". 
 No worries. Just ignore the noise, and do your thing taking care of your closest family (wife and children). It is not the majority that changes the world but wise choices and persistence of the minority 🙃 G'day 🫂 
 Thanks! In my case, mum is one of those who consider me a hopeless sociopath and will not let our son be taken out of school. But I'm not done fighting ;-)
