It would be nice to have 2-3 kids before the age of 28. But I'm going to be 21 this upcoming summer and I'm not even married, so we'll see.

I would like to work 2-3 hours in the morning but only after the first 6 months of having a baby. The setting that I have chosen to work in has a 99% chance of having an in-house daycare that does not permit longer than a 2-3 hour stay anyway

For elementary school, I like the idea of having my kids take math, science and writing classes at one of those really expensive learning centers they have in most big cities in the US with really highly skilled teachers, one on one/really tiny group learning three days out of the week, do history/social studies and islamic studies/history reading with me at home and then pursue a wide variety of other interests such as martial arts, sports, cooking/sewing/baking, whatever it is they'd like. also they could memorize Qura'an because their schedule would permit them to devote enough time to it. the same amount of work covered in 8 hrs in public school can be done in 3-4 hours at home or in a smaller setting because there are less distractions for the teachers and students, etc.

a lot of homeschool organizations exist in most US cities. they make it a point to conduct regular field trips, debate competetions, the works etc

i'd want to continue working some hours a week during this time also

in the end, whatever happens, happens..iA for the best.
