Homeschooling is far easier and cheaper than the mainstream would have you believe. That's part of homemaking as far as I'm concerned. Having enough money for extra hobbies and whatnot can be tough at times. I'm teaching my kids to play the piano and the basics of shooting/hunting, car repair and home maintenance. I have a friend who is teaching all of us to weld. My wife is teaching them how to cook and about food production and animal husbandry in general. I guess it depends on what you consider to be valuable uses of time. In my experience, if you start to pursue that kind of traditional family arrangement in earnest, you'll end up in contact with other like minded folks and hobbies get replaced with helping others with their work and bringing kids along to watch and learn.
