Welcome! :)

The possibility of false accusations exists with or without playing dress up.
:iagree: Sadly, this is very true.

I'm another who doesn't think this is a big deal. I have 2 girls. They don't play dress-up much anymore but when they did, they would strip down to panties in front of any/everyone if the words 'dress-up' were so much as whispered. As far as them playing dress-up at a friends house or a neighbors house, I wouldn't have a problem with that either. Perhaps it's because I wouldn't allow them into someones home that I don't already know. If it were a new friend then they wouldn't be there without me in the first place. What about bathing suits? What if someone had a sprinkler? Would they be allowed to put on a bathing suit and jump?
I vote for not making the call. If I were on the receiving end of that call, I would have concerns that were non-existent before.

I have already decided that I'm homeschooling the grand kids too!!!

Yes, I totally feel your pain. Except with milk. We're not huge milk drinkers here. I also have to be very vigilant about waste. Usually, I survive on what they discard so that nothing gets thrown away. It's like a full time job.

Thanks ladies! :)

I was pregnant with twins last summer. Unfortunately we lost the pregnancy in the late summer. It was completely random and out of the blue. Neither of us has twins in the family. I have noticed it too!

... and I couldn't resist a few pics, too.
The girls were up by 7:15 which completely shocked me. They're normally not up under at least 9. We finished the day off with a nature scavenger hunt and lunch on the wilderness trail. I was thrilled with the day. It took longer than I'd hoped but we had a few little 'busy work' things that I can definitely trim off.
I can't wait for tomorrow!!
They dress themselves by the way. :lol:

Oh my goodness! I love the hair dye. My kids are all jealous now. Thanks! :lol:

We talk about money in terms of ways to be frugal and conserve and stretch a dollar. I view this as a life skill that the girls can use with their own families some day. We don't discuss income, bills, lack of money, etc. I just feel like it's something that they shouldn't have to worry about. If something is too expensive I just say no. If they ask why, I simply repeat myself. I said no. End of discussion.

I hear you. This is our first year homeschooling and I felt a twinge of that a few weeks ago when the kids from our old town went back to school.
Then this morning when I heard the bus loading kids up at 6:45, I remembered that we didn't start until 9 and I rolled back over and went to sleep. That made me feel tons better.

Oh goodness. Prayers for everyone! Be safe!:grouphug:

Both of mine started this over the summer. We put them to bed about 15 minutes earlier than usual and let them read for 30-45 minutes. Usually they are already asleep by that point. During the summer we weren't as strict with it but now that school has started, I make sure that lights are out by 9:30 regardless.

Oooo. I shall now post 50 times on this thread so that I can achieve Royalty status!

Wow. I don't think this has ever happened to me. I kind of wish it would, though. :lol:

Got it. Thank you.

Hi all. I have never posted on this particular section of the board before.
This is our first year as a homeschooling family. My DD9 was tested and recommended as VSN for the AG programs at 2 separate schools in 2 separate states per the teacher recommendations. I have never quite understood what exactly this means in terms of how her brain works. To me, I've always known that she was 'smart' but I thought that AG was the PS's way of saying 'These kids actually want to learn so lets teach them something separately once a week.' I have never understood if it actually means anything significant. That probably sounds terrible, huh?
Now that I will be her teacher, I am terrified that I will mess her up somehow. I don't want to hold her back by not giving her enough credit. So what exactly does AG mean for our homeschool? Should I approach her instruction/curriculum any differently?
Thanks for your help! :)

My kids are allowed to have stuff in their own rooms and bathroom and that's it. In fact, when I see toys or 'things' sitting around in my main living area for more than an hour or so, it really grates on my nerves.
We keep baskets on the stairs for each room upstairs. I'll either make them come pick their things up, or I'll put it in their basket.

What in the world is wrong with people? :001_huh:

I used to sell mattresses and it is an extremely common complaint that Temperpedic sleeps hot. There are other memory foams that sleep a little cooler, but not a lot.
I would recommend a gel bed. They are pricey but similarly priced to TP beds but are so much cooler.

I am definitely a germaphobe and this would definitely bother me. I have pretty big issues with germs though. Pretty much everything bothers me. :lol:
