KC in KS Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 In case you haven't noticed, there are 3,518 PAGES of posts. He noticed.

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Also - those 3,518 pages happened over time . . . not necessarily as long a time as you would expect since this board moves pretty quickly, but it did happen over time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny_Weatherwax Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Wait until he sees how many posts some members have. Just remember to tell him - "It takes time. A lot of time." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tell him that some of us have an addiction but compared to us, you're a saint! And yes, my children are still getting an education. . . I think!

seibert4kids Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 You could tell him....Well, the more you post on the chat forums, the less you'll spend on the for sale forums! And this is "teacher education", like the public school educators have their "professional" days :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Did you realize that you got above me in the post count? Congratulations, you are now second! Am I? Uh- oh. . . I bet your kids are better educated. . .:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 1. This is where I talk to other adults. Talking to kids all day is um.. um.. well, yeah. 2. As my children get older, they need me less, and I have more free time than when they were in the earlier grades. 3. This is where I talk to other adults. Talk... oh wait, I covered that one already. 4. I prefer being here to cleaning the house. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asta Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 1. 2. As my children get older, they need me less, and I have more free time than when they were in the earlier grades. I spend a lot of time just sitting next to Aspie boy saying things like "don't use 3 lines for that equation, one number, a line, the second number". "Yes, I know you hate this subject, you have to do it anyway". That doesn't take "active instruction", just sitting there "overseeing". Hence, way too many posts and book reading and too little house cleaning (which takes me out of the room). a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) Our husbands would short circuit themselves if we spoke to them this much. Rosie P.S To answer Mr OP's question, I have toddlers. School takes about 20 mins a few days a week. Edited May 12, 2010 by Rosie_0801 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannqn Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I'm often stuck on the couch with a nursing baby, and my kids can be quite independent with most of their school work when I need them to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peela Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Well, I admit guilt, and your husband has a point. There has been more than one time I have come here to escape my homechooling responsibilities. I can always excuse it of course. Its a HOMESCHOOLING message board- I tell my family frequently- I learn lots here. But, my family know better. :lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Did you realize that you got above me in the post count? Congratulations, you are now second! :lol::lol: Just don't look at your average post count per day. (5th) I tell dh it's all research so I can help make his precious son smarter.
