Hello everyone!:seeya:
I'm Holly and this will be our second year homeschooling for academic reasons. Kiddo takes extracurriculars through a local charter school. I still have panic that I'm not *enough* but she seems to be thriving.
The spouse is a disabled veteran. We've had an adventure filled 11 years so far and have lived all over the states (thanks Army!)
We moved to the Sacramento area a year and a half ago hoping the milder climate would be better for us all. It has and we love it!
-
I want to come to your house!
Me too! Sounds fabulous. We are just watching the first movie together.
-
I agree, take a photo and share it. I feel sad when I see others photos too, *hugs*
-
PCSing is always the pits. Much hugs and valium :P

That's terrible :grouphug:

That mom doesn't have enough patience to be a good mom.
What's with the Judgy McJudgerson? Its hard to know anything about a person.
Its possible she was raised that way and doesn't know any better.
Its possible no one has ever told her that talking to a kid that hurts more than she realizes.
The amazing thing about ignorance is its a temporary state.
I could be wrong, but its still not my place to say she's incapable of being a good mother.

I get this ALL the time but it a different form. "I wouldn't have the patience to home school!" I always reply "Sometimes, I don't either."

Yikes! Poor girl. As someone who avoided hair stylists for years because of one bad one, I feel her pain. Curly hair is pretty forgiving but people also forget that because its curly its 4 inches longer when wet, which is how most hair stylists want to cut it.

Perhaps he just got carried away talking about piercing because he's so interested in them, then suddenly remembered your daughter is only young and that's why he stopped and didn't explain the penis piercings. Totally inappropriate but possibly thoughtless rather than perverted.
I try to think the best of people. You did right by telling her not to talk to him again, and if you see him again explain how shocked you were that he thought that was even remotely appropriate. Some people are skeevy, some people are just completely unaware of how to behave appropriately : / I'm sorry your daughter was the one that got to be on the receiving end of the incompetence.

Awesome! We board game every Wednesday for our family activity. I figured we do about an hour x 4 a month x 4 month and said I'd go for 900 minutes. Passionately Curious on there.

I love all these weird little castles! I agree with Lynne that I would love to live in a *real* castle.
-
We have this here in Sacramento. Here's the google view of it. Its just something odd to see driving down the 80. Other than that, I don't know of any castle like houses around here. Its trashy in the actual sense not the style.
We also have a roller rink that is decked out in medieval theme, I love it. We're kind of big on Ren Faires here, heh.
I do like the look of castles, and would love to spend time in one.

Ok people, I know this is petty but it's Handmaid's Tale not Handmaiden's Tale.
Whew, glad I got that off my chest. :lol:
And now, back to the program already in progress.
Gosh, I'm sorry! I've corrected it. Fortunately my link to the book is the correct book.

There's a bit of religion in GS, its in the pledge, they generally sing a thank you song before snack thats nearly a prayer.
The organization really depends on the troop. Ours is fantastic, but we have a large troop that has mini troops within, 1 for Daisys, 1 for Brownies etc its one of the things I love about our group. BUT I had to wait nearly a year to be called from the waiting list.
Our troop does focus on the girl's leadership encouraging them to vote on activities and come up with ways to help their community. It really depends on the troop.
ETA we do 2 camping trips a year and our counsel sponsors a day camp during the summer with an overnight campout at the end.

Oatmeal! Its very filling and you can make granola add it to meatloaf, etc.

ROFL I was excited to see an answer and its just all of us without TVs!

I wouldn't force my child to shave or refrain from shaving at any age. I think it should be their choice.
When we talked about puberty I explained that some women shave, others don't and that it is purely a personal preference.
-
I also make most things from scratch and I agree that most things are much cheaper. Specific things I make that I know are cheaper:
Bread
Granola
Pizza
Any soup
Tortillas
Buns
Crackers

Hooray for laughter!

Be an example of why homeschooling is great. When they start to harp on you, change the subject. I believe everyone should choose whats best for them and their families. Some work well in PS, others don't. Some like HS, some don't. I would really dislike living in a world where everyone was the exact same cookie cutter.

Whenever I have talked to gay couples I know, it's not been about the money. It's been about being allowed to make medical decisions, being able to share end-of-life decisions, being able to visit in the hospital, being given more status than "friend" to officialdom.
:iagree:

We only married for the legal reasons. My husband being in the military at the time meant if we didn't have that piece of paper, it was a bigger struggle (housing allowance, insurance, PCSing, etc). That piece of paper meant and still means health coverage for me, additional tax breaks, life insurance, breaks on car insurance, personal assurance that should anything happen to the other our daughter is going to stay with her parent (this one I'm reaching on because of the real issue of same sex couples not being afforded the same benefit)
Regardless of which side of the issue you're on marriage isn't between the two people signing the papers. It is between you two and the Government. They tell you when you're married, they tell you when you're divorced. They decide who is allowed the mentioned benefits and it has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with your religious beliefs.

Your replies made me sad. I really feel for this baby and I understand how you feel at a loss to help him. Super big ehugs for you!
