hathor |
doublebravo, here's how it works at our
house...I'm a super early riser and so do my
kids... |
|
21:19:20 |
Daladyaphrodite |
I usually just get the baby on my schedule
(more accurately..I got on hers) |
|
21:19:24 |
SandraMort |
I miss cosleeping so much :( |
|
21:19:32 |

SandraMort |
Pick me, teach! ME ME ME!!! |
|
21:20:00 |
Webmama_Tina |
we can still keep it kinda casual...but lets
get some questions lined up.... |
|
21:20:02 |
doublebravo |
i hear you on the rising part wondered about
the going to be part or even the waking in
the night to nurse - though i guess that
isn't neccessarily loud ... |
|
21:20:06 |
hathor |
they also gave up naps early, so they ALL go
to bed between 7-8 and then I shuffle off
to hang with daddy |
|
21:20:14 |
Webmama_Tina |
LOL sandra |
|
21:20:18 |
doublebravo |

I most of the time have a sleeping baby in
my arms when I'm in the living room and then
I go to bed about 10 ish and we all get up
together (we're all in one big bed still) |
|
21:21:08 |
hathor |

When we hit three kids, we didn't all fit in
a king, so we sidecarred another bed next to
it to make room for everyone. |
|
21:21:51 |
alisaterry |
? |
|
21:22:05 |
SandraMort |
People looked at us oddly for having two
kings but it's very nice :) |
|
21:22:05 |
Webmama_Tina |
so start throwing out those question marks
and i'll start the queue and we can take
turns |
|
21:22:09 |
Daladyaphrodite |

lol, how to fit five bodies on a king.... |
|
21:22:12 |
SandraMort |
Oops. I'll be quiet. |

|
21:23:01 |

College of Art and Design |

That answers both questions! Does he draw? |
|
21:26:00 |

He's a sculptor (I was 20 at the time) and
we've already established that I'm not much
older now |

I have three sort of related questions on
one topic, but I can keep it to one annd see
if there's room at the end for the rest, if
you like. |
|
21:28:10 |
hathor |
sounds good |
|
21:28:56 |
hathor |
Hey, double bravo have your question ready,
cool? |
|
21:29:04 |
doublebravo |
I know from your books and comics that you
'unschool' your kids - which the more I read
about it the beter it sounds - do your kids
ask you about schools and why all kids don't
learn out of school |
|
21:29:23 |
doublebravo |
oops sorry didn't mean to let it loose :/ |
|
21:29:26 |
hathor |
If you go to the website and go to projects
you can see dh without his shirt on! |
|
21:29:37 |
Daladyaphrodite |
yeh, he's looking good, Hathor |
|
21:30:01 |
SandraMort |
I'm at a point where I'm putting o a brave
show for outsiders, but still have some tiny
voices of doubt in the back of my head about
unschooling math. How do you handle that,
both in terms of reassuring yourself and
reassuring concerned relatives? |
|
21:30:07 |
alisaterry |
You mean \off\". Wink wink!" |
|
21:30:42 |
hathor |
SandraMort, we have LOTS of moments of worry
here, I have too much schooling under my
belt to let go sometimes |
|
21:30:49 |
Webmama_Tina |
ok, upcoming chatters: doublebravo
Daladyaphrodite |
|
21:31:19 |
hathor |
but luckily my daughter is a tried and true
unschooler so when I panic she reminds me
that |
|
21:31:27 |
hathor |
I shall not teach her nothing |
|
21:31:36 |
doublebravo |
*lol* |
|
21:31:37 |
hathor |
But when she's ready she loves to do math |
|
21:31:50 |
hathor |
and will ask for workbooks occassionally |
|
21:32:02 |
SandraMort |
How old is she? |
|
21:32:04 |
hathor |
will do them til she gets it and then will
stop |
|
21:32:07 |
hathor |
she's 9 |
|
21:32:14 |
SandraMort |
oh, ok, about the same age, then |
|
21:32:22 |
SandraMort |
Eva has no interest in workbooks |
|
21:32:24 |
hathor |
she recently did a multiplication chart |
|
21:32:37 |
SandraMort |
Bth of mykids are starting to grasp
multiplication ad fractions |
|
21:32:52 |
hathor |
I let her buy things to get hermoney stuff
figured out, |
|
21:33:08 |
hathor |
But the family thinks we traditionally
homeschool! |
|
21:33:12 |
SandraMort |
Ohhh.... |
|
21:33:28 |
SandraMort |
No, my family knows we unschool and almost
entirely disapprove |
|
21:33:30 |
Daladyaphrodite |
*gasp* cheater! |
|
21:33:37 |
hathor |
I tell them we unschool, but they can't seem
to figure out what that possibly means! |
|
21:33:38 |

other day |
|
21:34:08 |

|
21:34:09 |

21:36:28 |

right when all the other kids were going to

it |
|
21:36:49 |
Daladyaphrodite |
:nak: |

21:37:04 |

But I asked questions of them and realized

I'm throwing in my question. What do you
think about philosophies like Montessori,
Waldorf, and Enki? Did you ever consider
them before settling on unschooling? how did
you know unschooling was the best fit for
your family? |
|
21:49:07 |
