Another "You Tube isn't for children to use unattended" here.

So I talked to the mom tonight and she seemed to think that dh was overreacting (not his style, he's more gentle usually than I am) and had not thought that the behavior last night was a problem. I tried to explain that the issue was more her lack of intervening and stopping the behavior than the behavior itself, but she said that she did do something by talking to her about it. I let her know that if she does not remove the girl from the situation when that happens at our house that I will have to stop watching her.
But I still don't get the mindset. How is hitting and pushing something that you don't take the kid out of the room for? Or out of the house, since they were supposed to be leaving? How do you justify brushing it off as "being wound up"? It doesn't make sense to me.

I think it's stupid because it doesn't address the reasons why kids want to drop out of school, only tells them that they can't.

I'm a conservative Mennonite. I have read the series, enjoyed it and let my 8 year old ds read it.

I would take them to a naturopath. My mother in law has fibromyalgia and her doctors weren't able to help her and her naturopath put her on a diet for it that basically has it in remission.

So I got home from work last night (I tutor from 6-7:30). Dh had had our children and the three year old I was watching. Apparently, when her mom came to pick her up, the child pushed my dd, spit on my three year old and hit the baby, all within minutes of each other. With the baby, she had been trying to take his dessert away after dh and her mom told her not to. She said she hit him because he wouldn't share. There was no provocation for pushing dd or spitting at ds3.
Dh said that her mom's only response was to tell her that what she was doing wasn't nice, "we" don't hit/push friends, etc. And something about finding her inner peace. This is her usual discipline method, to talk about your feelings. That would make sense to me if she were six, but the kid is three. And for having a mom who's into gentle discipline, she's the most violent child I've babysat.
I need some advice ladies. What do you do when another parent and child are in your home and the parent is basically letting the kid run amok and hurt people? Dh felt like he couldn't say anything because it was the mom's job to get her child under control, but that wasn't happening.

She says that I could use some manners...
It wouldn't hurt to say please.

I was vegan for six years and just recently went back. The kids are allowed to choose what they want to eat, but usually eat what I'm having.

We've missed one week this winter due to illness.

We're also using CLE math for first grade right now. I used Saxon when my oldest was in first grade and switched to Singapore math from Saxon. I would take CLE or Singapore over Saxon any day.
I have a first grader who hates math.Like some other posters said, he may not hate math. He may hate Saxon math. I know I hated it by the time we were done.

I use a Maya Wrap sling to keep the baby happy while we do schoolwork.

For younger kids The Electric Company is a great series. My kids also liked the Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego? DVDs.
Dh and I have watched loads of TV shows on DVD through Netflix.

Nope, 16 is my bare minimum.

Christian Light Education is really affordable:

To me, "courting age" is when the young adult is ready to get married.
Yup.

Don't forget glue sticks and tape!

My husband plays video games, some of them violent. The less violent ones, my eight year old and assorted boys from our neighborhood play together. My husband is not a violent guy, actually we started going to a Mennonite church two years ago and he writes for Our Faith Digest.

I haven't done this myself, so I could be way off, but I was thinking somewhere around $50 per day, so $100 total. As a teenager I would have thought that was a good amount of money for two days' work. Actually, I would *still* consider that a good amount of money for two days' work! :D
Her sitter isn't a teenager. I think that $200 would be fair.

We homeschool year round, so that we can take off days when we want to and not feel a need to make it up.

I use a 3M damp Microfiber floor mop to get up visible dirt in between visits by the cleaning people.

Is your dd still comfortable bathing with her brothers? Has she asked for more privacy?
-
Is this the same family that advocates spanking grown children?
They start spanking around 4 months and go well, forever.
They also ran an article where Mr Pearl recommended taking your husband back after he had sexually abused your children, so this is their sort of mentality about what men should be allowed to get away with.

Here in Maryland, homeschoolers can't do anything at public school.
