Probably a smarter approach than let's do it all in one day :)
My biggest problem is juggling two of them. I wish I coud take a fied trip to other homeschool families and see how they handle more than one child. Don't laugh. Two intese kids seem like a lot to me.
Today was my first day doing something planned with all three. That's why we were easing. It's an adjustment every time we add one. I agree about wanting to see how others do it. We need a homeschool reality show. A little 30 minute peek into other styles and such every week.

It was our first day too. We're easing into it.

Never heard of it.

I don't think any of this is called for. I don't understand equating farmers who rib each other over the color of a tractor with Jim Crow or gang rape. It implies no sense of scale or understanding of history. No one is beat up in the video. No one is called names. I highly doubt anyone is going to watch this video and run out hunting for hate crimes to commit. Posters have repeatedly stated why the video is offensive. Others have said otherwise. Calling those who disagree complicit in hate crime is heinous.
I have to agree. There comes a point where people are afraid to speak at all because anything they say will be used against them. It is the tool of the weak minded to silence speech by making those who disagree with them out to be a bigot/homophobe/racist. Of course bigots, racists, and homophobes exist but sometimes a joke is just a joke, not a hate crime.

That happens to me all the...
What were we talking about?
-
We're doing it this year.

The normal joke in my crowd would be not to get one's panties in a bunch but I'm scared of what kind of label I would earn for that.

That's depressing.
(according to this chart)
I spend $600 a month for 6 people. That boils down to a little over a dollar per person per meal.
My 600 includes toilet paper, toiletries, cleaning supplies, and pet food.
We do have a a freezer full of beef from the farm and chickens for eggs, but still.
Once I did the calculation, I figured out why the food budget is SO tight.
Will you shop for me? That's awesome!

If they just want to reinforce bigotry it ain't funny.
Otherwise I can watch Paula Deen.

Hmm, I wouldn't want a pepto pink tractor. Am I bigot too? Or does my being female make that ok? Seems like you're stereotyping a bit thinking all "queers" like pink. Not all homosexual men are effeminate.

I'll disagree with the problem being that college educators are making loads of money. I know many and that's just not the case most of the time. Not to mention the fact that they are buried under student debt themselves much of the time.I do think the costs are crazy. I just think it's coming from the administrative level.

My Clarisonic face brush
My husband normally doesn't notice if I lose 20 lbs or dye my hair but he noticed how clear my complexion is after using it.
Memory foam mattress and pillows
My back no longer aches.

Watching this. I'm curious as well.
-
That's wonderful!

Another Christian here that agrees. Sometimes I just want an article on how to teach something. I can get my worldview stuff elsewhere.
-
Yay! Have fun.

There are too many parts and texts that need to be used for my child to get adequate review to master concepts. I am leaning towards Math Mammoth because it is so incremental.
MIF has a part A and B textbook and workbook and teacher edition for each grade. If multiple books is what you're trying to get away from MM is the way to go.
-
I noticed this as well. Still better than no orum at all.
-
I've looked at MIF but never used it. It looks like it is more geared to classroom use IMO. We're happy with Singapore for now, but if I switched it would be to MM. I own it and like it.
-
I didn't realize they had come out with an e-book version. I will probably get that b/c I can use it for all three of my DC.
-
Thanks everyone. We're going to skip it for now. I just needed a little push b/c I always feel a need to complete everything. I probably need some kind of therapy for that.

My DS is working through SM (the OOP Earlybird K books). We've reached a section on number words for the teens and it seems an odd time to teach this. He's reading CVC words and recognizes the words for 1-10, but these are way above his current reading level. My inclination is to skip it and come back later, but I'm curious how others have handled this. Do you skip it and return later, try to have them memorize the words, or something else?

This sounded oddly familiar, particularly in its tone, so I did a forum search on Gary North. Turns out that a couple of years ago he put out an article castigating homeschooling mothers (specifically the mothers) for not cranking out curricula and posting them on the web for free.
Oh wow! After reading the Gary North article I'm even more confused. Since when do libertarians think it's someone's responsibility to give away their hard work for free?
Can I try and explain the modesty issue?

While we do have modesty standards (nothing drastic) in our family, I certainly don't want my girls to grow up thinking they have to dress like nuns to earn respect from men. I also don't want my son blaming all of his feelings, responses, actions on girls just walking around minding their own business. He has the capability to turn his head if something is too "distracting."
