LadyAberlin Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Flopdom - This is when nearly all your curriculum choices for the yr have been flops. I was in the state of flopdom earlier in this yr and I have finally worked it all out and am no longer in the state of flopdom :D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber in AUS Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Isn't it great when it all comes together :) I was in a similar state of flopdom when we started HSing with formal curricula, every choice i made was wrong. I am beginning to learn what works for me and my kids, finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asta Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 My niece came up with "amn't", as in "am not". When we tried to tell her it wasn't a word, she said "yes it is, I am is I'm, are not is aren't, is not is isn't, so am not is amn't." Hard to argue with a 5 year old. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyoSylvia Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Flopdom...I was in the state of flopdom earlier in this yr and I have finally worked it all out and am no longer in the state of flopdom :D. Flopdom..(sounds also like it could be a very depressing country.) I hope to never visit the land of flopdom... either definition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DianeJM Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Have been there myself! Kind of mind boggling -- I can't figure out how I can work so hard at getting it right, only to find it wasn't right after all. Woe is me. I recently replied to a post on the HS board about a super-wrong curriculum choice I made, concluding with this Yogi Bera classic, "We made a lot of wrong mistakes." I couldn't say it better myself. Glad you are doing better :001_smile: When my oldest was little, one of his words was "imn't". As in, yes I "im" or no I "imn't". Well, there's tons I'd love to go back and change.......if I could. I chalk it up to experience and continue on...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leanna Tomlinson Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I like your new word, and may need to use it. So... I'll give you our new word...use it if needed. "Stupident" - an accident that happens because your kids were doing something stupid that caused the "accident".;) Leanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christy B Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 My niece came up with "amn't", as in "am not". When we tried to tell her it wasn't a word, she said "yes it is, I am is I'm, are not is aren't, is not is isn't, so am not is amn't." Hard to argue with a 5 year old. a My dd used "willn't" for years. She had a logic similar to your niece, and it took us forever to convince her to use the word "won't".
