Thank you! I hope you have an amazing time! There’s lots to do and see around here. ?

Wait, what?! She’s speaking in SLO?! Do you have a link?

I'm mostly a lurker but I just wanted to chime in. I have 4 little kids (my youngest is 6, my oldest is 11) and I've been able to continue homeschooling post-divorce. My attorney had it included in our settlement agreement that the children would continued to be homeschooled and that I am the primary decision maker in regards to all educational decisions (my ex and I have joint custody). Between my spousal and child support, I am able to continue to being a stay at home mom and not work at all for at least the next 7 years. My ex isn't thrilled about it, but having a lifestyle where I was always a stay at home mom and homeschooled worked in my favor. At least in my area, judges like to maintain the "normal" for kids whenever possible, so if it's financially possible to continue homeschooling post-divorce, that's the way they lean. Having a great attorney also helps. Good luck with everything!

Will it just be you and your four girls? If so, you might run into a logistical nightmare with getting you all on rides because Disney requires all kids under 7 to ride with someone over the age of 14. That's not an issue on all rides, but it's something worth taking into consideration.

Jenne's right. The stop condition on this test is 5 wrong answers in a row. My son never got more than two in a row wrong so he was asked every single question on every single subtest. That said, he did enjoy the test overall, but he started getting a bit antsy near the end.

If your child is chosen, I imagine you'd hear from them soon. Our tester called us last Friday and my son was tested yesterday. I know my son was the first child using this test for our particular site & tester. Just be prepared, if your child is chosen, the test could potentially take a very long time. My five year old spend a little over four hours yesterday being tested with only a few short breaks. Because it's not the final version of the test, it's a lot longer than a typical test. Even our tester (who's quite experienced with testing gifted kids) was a bit shocked at how long it took.

I'm breaking out of lurkdom to give you a big hug! I'm sorry your day was so awful. I'm around if you need someone to vent to IRL :grouphug:
