dragons in the flower bed Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I find myself impatient with posts about diapers and breastfeeding and all the neat things to do with a four year old. :tongue_smilie: Not that I didn't love that when I was there. But I no longer am. I want to hear from parents who are struggling to strike the perfect balance between protecting their 9-13 year old's playful innocence and teaching them to be mature, responsible, involved little people, moms who are making daily decisions about whether to get ahead of her kid in pre-algebra today, or get ahead of the laundry and the dishes. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faithr Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 You can come to my little ole blog! I find the blogs that talk about all the cool stuff to do with the little ones kind of sad. I think because either I get sad that I don't have any kids that age anymore or I feel like I didn't do enough cool things with my now-getting-older kids and I have somehow deprived them. . . So I'm right there with ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithr Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Oh, I think you know my blog. I don't really advertise it because I have underachiever/poor self-confidence issues when it comes to blogging, but it is: http://www.householddiary.blogspot.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Testimony Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I have two boys in this age bracket. I have a 9 year old and an 11 year old. I am going through a struggle right now because I feel as if my 9 year old's innonces was robbed this summer. He was on a summer select soccer team and the coach would curse like a sailor. It was terrible. :w00t: I don't know how to handle this. I am having issues. I am praying and seeking God about it.

fivetails Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 4th & 7th grade here :) (although I don't specifically blog only about homeschool stuff. It's a bit of a mishmash, typical of the way I do everything. ;) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denisela Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I'm new at this, and I love reading everyone's blogs to see what y'all are doing!

But thanks for all the blogs, and here's mine, just thought it would be a good idea to keep one to help me keep track of things. http://deniselahs.blogspot.com/ Thanks!

christielee7278 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 My blog includes all of my children, but it is strictly for school...not diapers, breastfeeding...but maybe a few neat things to do with 3 and 5 year olds. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LunaLee Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 My ds is in 5th grade year, but my blog is a little behind.

TCoppock Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I have a 5th grader but am not hip enough to have a blog.:tongue_smilie: I don't know how people have time to actually homeschool, do neat things, AND talk about it. I love browsing certain blogs but they are mainly about food and cooking. I am becoming very domestic lately and it is showing in my search engine.

HockeyMom Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 ... Our homeschool blog was set up for the purpose of reporting out to my son's grade 6 supervising teacher. It served as an electronic portfolio of my son's work. Here's the link: http://ekoostidaltales.blogspot.com/ Our little homeschool is morphing once again this year as we're flying solo as independent homeschoolers without provincial oversight. I think our blog will continue to be an e-portfolio of sorts, but the "flavour" of the blog is likely to change. I intended to periodically update our blog over the summer ... Ha! ... I should have known better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. :iagree: Once again, I find myself agreeing with Tina :D I also have all ages & stages, but don't often blog about my middles. Link's in the siggie line - I'm about ready for a "blog makeover" - and I'll remember to put some info about my olders, as well. One of that harder things about blogging and having olders? They - um - can actually READ your blog. So I might not be so apt to post about struggles or tough decisions, b/c they'd see it and it might not have a positive effect. As a principle, I try not to post anything negative about my kids - complaining, etc - but kwim? I couldn't post about "Dealing with talking with _________ about s*x". It's harder to blog and not embarass kids of a certain age, kwim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
