Avila Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 OK, I will play. I hate reading posts about people not being able to choose between two or three really expensive curriculums that I can only dream about. Or successfully using really complicated curriculum (sometimes in multiples) that just makes me feel dumb. I hate reading posts that trash the curriculum I just bought and talk up on that I didn't buy and make me think twice (who am I kidding? 20 times is more like it) that maybe I didn't do the right thing after all. I hate reading posts that talk up the new and greatest curriculum, which sends me running off to spend hours I don't have looking it up. Only to find out that the people in question have either never used the curriculum, are selling said curriculum and therefore may have a horse in the race, or don't actually have kids old enough to use the curriculum. I hate reading posts about 2 year olds reading Shakespeare and 3 year olds finishing Calculus, when my rising 3rd grader just started reading well enough for me to consider her a reader. I hate reading posts about people who have completed their whole school day, have immaculate homes and are going off on a service project while I am still in my pajamas trying to start our school day, made more difficult because we are missing a book, crayons, or a ruler. I hate reading posts about any religion or moral compass (other than my own, of course ;)) being the only right way, the only true way, the only moral way ... you know, it isn't just religion. Maybe I just hate to be told everything I do is just wrong, wrong, wrong. But I love all of you anyway.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennifersLost Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I hate posts about extroverted families - the ones who are never lonely, have houses full of kids and their friends, whose family parties number in the hundreds, who always have somewhere fun to do, and spend most of their days chatting (or visiting) with their best friends. I also hate posts about people who actually do the lab part of lab sciences. And I hate posts about the online/distance/or community college classes that people send their kids to that aren't available to me and that I couldn't afford anyway.

ciyates Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 While I was out and about with my beautiful, well behaved, brilliant children today ( you do remember they all spoke Mandarin before they were 2 and have deciphered ancient Hebrew as a summer project when they turned 4 don’t you) we had to make our weekly stop at Trader Joe’s/Whole Foods/Ikea/The container store to buy a few items for one of our numerous parties/camping expeditions/fabulous cruises. I was so surprised to find a wonderful homeschool program that will allow them to spend 20 hours per day completely immersed in the teaching of every great writer/philosopher/scientist/historian/theologian. It was on sale for the amazingly low price of 23,871.12! How could I pass that up? While I was browsing the aisle my perfect and completely happy children manage to foil a bank robber, help an old person across the street and text their homework assignments to the tutor at Harvard. So as we we attend not one but four amazing homeschool conferences and I had the 20 bedroom house back in immaculate shape (can you every really scrub the grout in a marble bathroom with a toothbrush enough? I think not!), the whole family decided to sit down and read some first edition copies from our amazing library. It does take up the entire west wing but we do have to make sacrifices for our children. After 22 hours of reading ancient Greek we had to go out and slay the pesky trees in the neighborhood. Oh I almost forgot, we propagated to all of our community and explained why they were all heatens/going to hell/worshipping false gods and were generally bad cooks. All in all I would have to say it was a productive day. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakia Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Ok, I'll play. I hate the posts by people who get up cheerfully at 4:00 am after five hours of sleep. After bible study and exercise they proceed to milk the cows, feed the goats, collect the eggs, and have a full course breakfast of free range eggs, bacon from the pig they slaughtered yesterday, homemade bread, and freshly squeezed juice ready by 6:30. After which they happily pack their husband's lunch and kiss him goodbye. Then it's on to homeschooling, chores, and many other glorious things. I hate them because I can barely move my lazy butt out of bed by 7:30, too many days go by when I don't even open my bible, I haven't exercised voluntarily in years, my children mostly eat cereal for breakfast, and I don't even hear my husband when he leaves in the morning. And I want to have a farm, but I think I am too lazy/tired/spoiled. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANY times after I fix him breakfast and hand him his lunch he hugs me tells me how much he appreciates me :D. Sometimes he says, "not all wives do this".
