haven't read the whole thread and don't know if this was mentioned yet or not, but I've given, bottles of bubbles with a balloon attached, and one year I thought about buying little plastic fish bowls and putting in a 50cent goldfish, but we changed the party theme.

We are schooling them honestly from the day they are born. They are always learning when you think about it. Just depends on the individual child as to when you start "formally" teaching them, when you feel they are ready. So I say, anytime.

That is about the sweetest thing I have ever heard anyone say about their husband. He is as lucky as you are!

You ARE incredibly blessed!! That's so great! I wish I had that.

Awww that is sad to me too. I'm happy to have these years with my kids. My dd is graduating this year, I'm super sad about that :(

Thanks for this suggestion. I just ordered their catalog. I'm looking at getting the social skills training book on amazon I think, and probably the 5 point scale book. Not sure. Still searching. I'll post for everyone else if I find anything that looks promising.

You can do it!! Just research curriculum. Get some homeschooling high schooler resource books and go for it. There are soo many good curriculum's out there. I'm homeschooling my high schooler for her junior and senior year. The first year was rough,(junior) but we made it through. It won't be a piece of cake by any means, but it will be worth it. Just have faith and confidence in yourself and your kids and you will do fine. As far as colleges go. I would research the ones they are interested in now and see what the requirements are. Alot of the one's I have looked at only require ACT scores or another type of learning assessment to see what classes they need to start out in. Most colleges from what I have read and heard, really like homeschooled kids. These boards are a valuable resource too. I've learned alot just reading posts from other homeschoolers. Also, if you aren't a member of The Homeschool Library, you might wanna check it out. Alot of wonderful ladies over there that are friendly and give great advice whenever you need it. Good luck on your journey!!

NO

GOOD FOR YOU!!!! This gives me goosebumps. The nerve and idiocy of some people! But it happens all the time here, see it on the news weekly.

Stand your ground! If I had it to do over, my dd (17 now) would never have gotten one. Nothing but a pain, expense, and DRAMA!!!! It's for her own good as well as your sanity. She'll understand when she's older. Good luck!
