If families would get rid of their television and have instead a tea time in the evening where they talked a little it would change everything by removing most dysfunction.

It's there, and all you have to do is really talk with her to know that. Unfortunately, most of these parents only know how to say one thing to kids: "What grade are you in?"<br /><br />I don't mean that cruelly. It's just sad.<br /><br />Good luck, and please feel free to have your banker contact mine at any time to discuss financing the unquantifiable!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910250264201595881.post-74711249768298083102009-07-23T23:18:02.249-05:002009-07-23T23:18:02.249-05:00Well said!

I chose unschooling because my children had been unschooling all their lives so far, and they were moving along just fine as it was. So, i decided why not just continue down the path. Well, I am just so grateful for blogs like this, it gives me so much support, and validation!

I came over here and threw you in my feeds so I can remember to check you out as you post :) <br /><br />But I definitely wanted to post how cool it is to find a fellow bloggie in North Texas! It is kind of silly: never mind that we are likely to have way more OTHER things "in better common" than our general location, I'm all excited that you're in Texas? But, it's cool nonetheless. <br /><br />Also, I totally dig the fact that your phonetic pronunciation of the acronym CIOFY sounds like see-ify, like glorify or amplify. Can I totally steal that for my own personal use?<br /><br />Nice to meet you. Maybe someday I'll start posting regularly so you can get to know me, too :P but until then, see you around!Dellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06397062869413109155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910250264201595881.post-40959730435963144172009-04-13T17:15:00.000-05:002009-04-13T17:15:00.000-05:00Me too!
