I suppose most parents figure it's just what you do, you put your kids in ps.
However, I do think it's unfair to say that ps parents across the board put no thought into it. That has not been my experience in general. Of course, I know of some parents that don't care, but there have been some hs'ing parents I've known that have done a disservice to their children, as well.
:grouphug: to you. I hope everything works out for you soon.

I recently bought a pair of Crocs that have the liner in them at TJ Maxx for $20 to replace my LL Bean slippers that were shot. I've really liked wearing them around the house as slippers. They are like this but mine are pink.

If you Google, there are lots of non-Disney ideas available. Here is a castle cake idea. I've done this before and it was easy to do.

Active in our church. We attend church every Sunday and look forward to going.
My kids do go to the movies with friends, have sleepovers, go to sleepovers, my daughter has a boyfriend (sweet boy by the way) She is going to prom this year. We listen to secular and christian music. We watch a variety of movies. We allow video games. My kids are thoughtful, love each other, and sometimes want to kill each other. They rock my world and I am so proud of them. We go to the movies. We listen to CCM and lots of secular music. We love video games! My kids fight with each other, but they'll also be the first to have each other's backs, if needed.
Hi and welcome! My answers are in blue.

I don't because that's not how I use FB. I use it to keep in touch with family and high school and college friends that are scattered around the country. If something was bothering me a lot, I'd just hide it. I just unfriended about 50 people. It was very freeing!

What I can't get over is that your friend obviously has no problem with it. She invited you and your mom, and now wants a larger group come over. :confused:
For that reason, I would not mention the state of the house as the reason you couldn't go. I would, however, not go back. Ever. :ack2:
I agree with the suggestion of perhaps a meeting room at the library.

I would definitely call the child's mom.
If you seriously need help from your DH, you may want to introduce him to the bookmark (amazing little invention). He can finish the book later.

Cake for the office, yes. To take home, weird.

Hi! :seeya:

It's hard to pinpoint because there are so many different homeschooling philosophies. I think one just has to figure out what works for one's own family. There is no right answer, no one size fits all. That's the beauty of it!

He will be okay. You are doing the best thing for him. Take it easy on yourself. :grouphug:

Nice work! They look delicious, too.
Aaaaand, now I want cake! Hmph! :glare:

I like grammar girl. I always search there if I have a question.

I really like Xtramath.
Alternatively, he's really pretty young and it's more important that he understands the concept of multiplication at this point. You could always print out a multiplication chart and let him use that for now.

I tried an all in one diaper with my DD once. 5 minutes later she pooped in it and that was the end of my cloth diapering. I know that will bug a lot of people, but it is what it is.

I'd wake her at noon, just because I'd want her to go to bed tonight!

I have to disagree. IME, motivation and drive come from within.
I think you're correct and I think that is why it's so important for us as parents to take what motivates them and help them to develop it.

I think a piece of the puzzle is to take what they're interested in and help them to develop it.
So here's an example: my 12 yo is interested in technology and computers. We got him a subscription to Popular Science and we have bought him the latest gadgets. We bought him a book on building your own computer when he showed an interest in it, we listened to his endless thoughts on the subject, we helped him save up money by giving him jobs around the house to do and kicked in a chunk at the end, we encouraged, we listened, we helped. And we bragged to everyone we knew when he built his own computer last month.
Now, I'd love for him to go to Dartmouth and get an engineering degree. He has that potential without a doubt in my mind. But I'm not going to obsess about it. My hope for my children is that they will do what they love and love what they do. I'm going to help them along the way as I'm able.

Give Charlie his salad first and no one gets hurt.

Who even says "duh" anymore once they're past, like, 12?
Two words: Charlie Sheen.

I don't think it matters if they annoy me or not. Those slogan shirts for girls with the "I'm so cute you should give me whatever I want" attitude annoy me. Trucker hats annoy me. Really pointy heels annoy me. But I don't think any of them should actually be ILLEGAL. Good grief.
:D and :iagree:

I have a very eclectic taste in music. I have everything from Michael Jackson to Taio Cruz to Alan Jackson on my iPod. My kids don't really like anything I play. My oldest really likes club music which drives DH batty, so he tries to limit him. My DD is really into Taylor Swift, and I like that, too. At least it's mostly sweet and no swearing and it doesn't make my ears bleed, so that's fine. My youngest really doesn't listen to music much.
