Lots of people in NI home school and love it. There is a group here, home education NI, (hedni) who run meet ups and outings. I’m sure there is something similar near you.
I think it can be fab for kids. I don’t believe the old line of they miss out socially at all, as long as there is an effort to get them to home school groups, and normal extra curricular activities there is loads of socialising. I follow “notmessyjustlearning” on instagram and she home schools her 3 boys, and they honestly have an enviable life (the mum also wfh). They are always out and about with loads of other kids, and spend so much time outside.
If you’re seriously considering it then look local and find other families who do it to discuss it with.
