For math and reading, I buy curriculum for the level they're on, not the grade they're in.
For history and science, we go through the four year cycle, and I don't think grades really apply to that.

Dh and I talk a lot about how the history we were taught in school was disjointed and didn't make sense or give you a real idea of when things happened. I love the history we do at home because we start at the beginning, go through for four years, then start again. I'm learning more history now than I ever did in school.
For ds1 and ds3, they would each be a grade behind because of the new school age cutoffs here (August 31st). So instead of being in 4th grade and K4, they would be doing 3rd grade and Preschool in school. Ds1 is so far from a 3rd grade level. He read Harry Potter when he was 7.

I think that when they ignored you and pushed the issue would have been a good time to leave. It's ok to let them know that you're going to cut a visit short if they won't respect your boundaries.

But did the OP say that her daughter wasn't using any sort of BC?
-
It's from 1-2 pm here, though I have kids who like to read. I think I'd keep it the same regardless.

Yes, it seems this girl wanted to get pregnant.
It may suprise you to learn that people get pregnant even while using birth control. My sister-in-law had twins while on the pill.

I have been the pregnant 16 year old. I think it's important while she's going through this for you to transition to treating her like an adult and a parent, rather than your child.
You've received great advice so far. One thing I haven't seen mention is choice of healthcare provider for your daughter. Teen moms can be treated so badly by some healthcare providers, that it is important to find someone who will treat your child as the burgeoning young adult that she will be forced to be, not someone to be punished for making a mistake or taken advantage of because of youth.I used midwives when I was a pregnant teen. They treated me with respect, answered all my questions and gave me the support I needed.

My kids will NEVER again step foot in that house, those kids can come here anytime, and I just left a message for CPS to call me to report this.
You're doing the right thing.

I disagree. She pays for him to be on the team and asked him kindly. He was completely rude in his response and has no right to respond to a concerned parent in that way.
I don't think that during the game was the time to talk to him though.
-
I don't think you need them. I just throw them away after weddings.

How is it worded?
-
What rules is he breaking? Have you tried talking to his parents about it?

So, I've had previous threads about the fact that we're moving from Baltimore to Syracuse, NY.
Dh leaves in four days to start work there, which will leave me and the kids here until we definitely have a place to move. I have friends who might stay, but I can't decide if I want more people here or not. I'm still working until the 30th (home childcare), so that's going on too. I'm trying to homeschool the kids (and mostly suceeding).
But I'm stressed OUT. And I'm taking it out on dh. He lent his friend one of the cars today without telling me first and left a car seat in it. I had told the kids we would go out half an hour ago, yet here we are, one car seat short, waiting for his friend to bring it back. Dh apoligized, but then tried to say it wasn't his fault and I could have taken the car seat out of his car days ago. But that doesn't have anything to do with sending it off with his friend.
On the other hand, I know I'm taking me being stressed out on him and I don't want him to leave for New York Sunday with us not getting along. I'm really not happy about this.

There are two huge covered porches that could be screened in immediately.
I think that would really help.

He said: Tell me his name, and I'll make sure he doesn't play at all the next game.
You were butting in a bit there. I can see the coach being annoyed. It's his "turf," you know?
-
I don't really get it either. I understand wanting a mixed group, but I wouldn't care unless they're giving her a hard time about it.

Loaded/ran dishwasher. Wiped out sink and had dh Drano it.
-
Have you tried bribery?
-
Wiped down dining room table and kitchen counter. Worked on decluttering.
-
That stinks. I'll be thinking of you.
-
Worked on cleaning the window frames in the dining room. I didn't realize how gross that space in between the window and the screen can get.
Is anyone going to join in? I know that most of us could stand to get off of the computer and clean up for 5 minutes.
-
Cleared the stuff from breakfast and emptied the dishwasher.
If you only had one year to teach world history how would you do it?

I wouldn't do it. The strength of SOTW for history is that it spreads it out and gives you time to really learn and digest it. If you cram it into one year, you do what the schools do and make it so there's not real depth or understanding. Do the first year in the cycle for it this year, then afterschool it if you can't homeschool next year.
