here's hathor's intro... |
|
20:15:36 |
hathor |
So, hey, any questions? |
|
20:15:37 |
gracefulmom |
? |
|
20:15:41 |
Webmama_Tina |
Hathor the Cowgoddess lives in the
middle of urban sprawl with her dearest
super-husband and three wee and wise
kids. She has had an unassisted birth in
the middle of her 700 square foot
apartment, she breastfeeds on demand and
in public, she shares sleep, maintains
constant contact and unschools. Not only
does she do all of this, she does it
with grand style and verve. With
extravagant and outrageous behavior. And
with her trusty sidekick baby in a
sling. The raucous exploits of Hathor
and her family are produced in comic
form on the web and printed in many,
many zines and magazines and books, too. |
|
20:15:49 |

Webmama_Tina |
anything you want to add? anything new
and exciting or particularly stressful
happening these days hathor? |
|
20:16:10 |
Webmama_Tina |
i have noticed some very infuriating
causes lately on your site....argh |
|
20:16:16 |
hathor |
Well, my baby just turned 2 |
|
20:16:17 |
Webmama_Tina |

20:17:21 |
gracefulmom |
I'm curious about unschooling... how do
things change for you during the summer? |
|
20:17:42 |
hathor |
I'm kind of on a school schedule |
|
20:18:01 |
hathor |
because I've been in school for so long
I suspect |
|
20:18:13 |
gracefulmom |
similar to public schools, you mean? |
|
20:18:17 |
hathor |
so we kind of get more lazy, hot ,
hanging out |
|
20:18:32 |
hathor |
Yeah, but then there are aLOT of super
crowded |
|
20:18:41 |
hathor |
summer activities to do to |
|
20:19:01 |
hathor |
I just took the kids to see Guinea music
at the Hollywood bowl |
|
20:19:35 |
hathor |
we have less of our regular stuff, more
special activities |
|
20:19:44 |
hathor |
are you an unschooler? |
|
20:20:16 |
gracefulmom |
Not unschooler, but pretty relaxed
homeschooler... sounds similar to our
summer. |
|
20:20:33 |
hathor |
Yeah, it's very similar....sapphire_chan
? |
|
20:20:34 |
gracefulmom |
Except we haven't heard any Guinea music
or had Iranian ice cream! |
|
20:20:34 |
sapphire_chan |
More of a comment, really. I used your
recent comic with your now 2 year old
running in a circle from sling to down
to sling to show my dh what babywearing
is like with a toddler. He thought it
was really nifty. (I did too.) |
|
20:21:17 |
hathor |
I'm so glad the comic was useful! |
|
20:21:41 |
sapphire_chan |
It's useful in so many ways. Probably
more so once we have kids. :lol |
|
20:21:51 |
hathor |
I still wear the sling everywhere,
though the baby isn't in it...on the off
chance. |
|
20:22:10 |
sapphire_chan |
A beautiful fashion statment. |
|
20:22:16 |
hathor |
You don't have kids yet? cool! |
|
20:22:33 |
hathor |
You'll be an awesome mama when it
happens! |
|
20:22:52 |
hathor |
I hadn't even heard of midwifery or
breastfeeding when I was pregnant |
|
20:23:03 |
sapphire_chan |
I'm an MDC-aholic. |
|
20:23:24 |
hathor |
I was a really, really, lost mama in the
beginning :blush: |
|
20:23:47 |
hathor |
any questions? |
|
20:23:47 |
sapphire_chan |
That's hard to believe. I can't picture
you as lost. |
|
20:24:02 |
hathor |
Oh man, I was the lostest |

I had my baby strapped in a carseat,
carrying it around banging into my
shins! |
|
20:24:35 |
sapphire_chan |
So, have any good stories about your
time of confusion? |
|
20:24:40 |
sapphire_chan |
Ouchie |
|
20:25:00 |
hathor |
My dh, met a husband of a La Leche
League Leader |
|
20:25:17 |
hathor |
and took me to a party when I was
pregnant, I told them |
|
20:25:38 |
hathor |
that I was going to breastfeed for AT
LEAST 6 WEEKS |
|
20:25:57 |
hathor |
that seemed like a very impressive long
time to me! |
|
20:26:20 |
hathor |
so they told me about LLL and midwives |
|
20:26:31 |
hathor |
and I thought they were loony toons. |
|
20:26:50 |
hathor |
but here we are, I had breastfeeding
difficulties so my dh |
|
20:27:15 |
hathor |
made me call LLL and I went to a meeting
and I got the book the Continuum Concept
from the meeting |
|
20:27:24 |
hathor |
and that was it, I was hooked |
|
20:27:43 |
hathor |
I wonder if those mamas remember me? :? |
|
20:28:09 |
sapphire_chan |
Probably have your comic bookmarked. |
|
20:28:10 |
hathor |
any questions? |
|
20:28:19 |
MOD_Angie |

|

I was wondering about your garden, but
let Alegna go first. |
|
20:29:11 |
hathor |
Okay alegna? |
|
20:29:13 |
alegna |
How busy -activity wise- do you stay |
|
20:29:20 |
alegna |
unschooling wise |
|
20:29:27 |
alegna |
is it hard to find a balance? |
|
20:29:43 |
hathor |
Man, we do a LOT in los angeles...and it
is hard to find a balance |
|
20:30:02 |
hathor |
I have to occassionally stop and take a
deep breath and |
|
20:30:38 |
hathor |
decide what we are going to keep
doing...I prefer to do things that
include the whole family, all ages and
genders etc |
|
20:31:06 |
alegna |
does your dh work a normal" job?" |
|
20:31:21 |
hathor |
but we do take dance classes and we are
currently stuck in a girl scout troup
that I wish I hadn't |
|
20:31:24 |
alegna |
we find that we miss out on enough time
with him since he's always working when
cool stuff is going on |
|
20:31:27 |
hathor |
joined! |
|
20:31:43 |
gracefulmom |
? |
|
20:32:01 |
hathor |
My dh doesn't work a normal job now, he
used to, but now he works as a
setdresser in the industry. |
|
20:32:19 |
alegna |
fun! |
|
20:32:40 |
hathor |
which means he works like a dog for a
few days 18 hours a day, etc. and then
he's off for a week. |
|
20:33:21 |
hathor |
It has become the perfect job for us,
except for that we never know when he's
going to work so plans are hard |
|
20:33:53 |
hathor |
some friends of mine started a summer
evening potluck at a pool to get the
daddys together |
|
20:34:03 |
hathor |
gracefulmom ? |
|
20:34:06 |
gracefulmom |
I've been looking for community service
projects for our family to do together. |
|
20:34:25 |
gracefulmom |
But most places around here (food banks,
etc) don't want my 5 yo to participate. |
|
20:34:30 |
hathor |
Ooooooh, good idea! |
|
20:34:40 |
gracefulmom |
Have you found anything like that that
works for your family? |
|
20:34:44 |
gracefulmom |
Or have any ideas? |
|
20:34:50 |
hathor |
What about driving for the food banks? |
|
20:34:57 |
gracefulmom |
oooooooooo! |
|
20:35:09 |
gracefulmom |
Or Meals on Wheels... |
|
20:35:18 |
hathor |
I haven't been doing much but before
Kids I used to do food not bombs |
|
20:35:31 |
gracefulmom |
What's that? |
|
20:35:42 |
gracefulmom |
Pardon my ignorance! |
|
20:35:48 |
hathor |
and we would gather together and make a
whole bunch of soup and serve it at a
park |
|
20:35:59 |
hathor |
to anyone who was hungry |
|
20:36:23 |
hathor |
it's just a loose association of people
who pass out food to anyone in the name
of peace |
|
20:36:36 |
hathor |
kind of a cool thought huh? |
|
20:36:50 |
gracefulmom |
I like it! :) |
|
20:37:00 |
hathor |
You could start your own chapter and say
that kids are definitely welcome! |
|
20:37:35 |
gracefulmom |
My 8 yo would love to do that. She
wants to start a club of some kind. |
|
20:37:46 |
hathor |
I also think that us mamas should set up
shadow polls at the polling places |
|
20:37:53 |
hathor |
at the next election. |
|
20:37:56 |
gracefulmom |
Save a Rainforest, Stop War, anything
else... she'd love it. |
|
20:38:14 |
hathor |
I think we could be mamas cleaning up
elections" and wear" |
|
20:38:23 |
hathor |
aprons and carry brooms |
|
20:38:35 |
hathor |
and take exit polls |
|
20:38:46 |
gracefulmom |
:D |
|
20:38:57 |
hathor |
or ask everyone to vote a second time in
our cardboard box |
|
20:39:31 |
gracefulmom |
I'm getting pretty disillusioned with
politics... but that's another topic... |
|
20:39:31 |
hathor |
so that if there are any discrepencies
we can have a paper trail :banghead |
|
20:39:45 |
hathor |
wouldn't tt hat be cool? |
|
20:40:11 |
gracefulmom |
...because the REAL paper trail seems to
vanish! |
|
20:40:13 |
hathor |
sapphire_chan ? |

20:41:02 |

there's no one in the queue currently |
|
20:41:11 |

|
20:41:18 |
sapphire_chan |
Ah yes, I was wondering how your garden
is doing? |
|
20:41:20 |
hathor |
bueller? bueller? |
|
20:41:40 |
hathor |
Aaaah, my garden has strawberries! |
|
20:41:49 |

|
20:41:55 |
sapphire_chan |
You're making it very difficult to not
lol every few seconds, Hathor. |
|
20:41:57 |
hathor |
and some fruit from a tree that I don't
recognise |
|
20:42:05 |
sapphire_chan |
quince? |
|
20:42:07 |
Webmama_Tina |
lol |
|
20:42:20 |
hathor |
all in a plot that's about 2 feet by 4
feet! |
|
20:42:23 |
Webmama_Tina |
loquat? LOL |
|
20:42:30 |
sapphire_chan |
Mine is 4 by 4 |
|
20:42:37 |
hathor |
loquat!!!that's waht it is! |
|
20:42:42 |
sapphire_chan |
I'm loving the tomatoes now. |
|
20:42:42 |
Webmama_Tina |
LOL |
|
20:42:59 |
hathor |
yum yum, I make the best salsa... |
|
20:43:03 |
hathor |
alegna ? |
|
20:43:05 |
alegna |
do you have trouble finding other
unschooler-type friends for your kids? |
|
20:43:23 |
alegna |
homeschoolers here are overwhelmingly
christian and structured, and we're not |
|
20:43:38 |
alegna |
dd is still little (2 :LOL ) nothing
like planning ahead |
|
20:43:45 |
hathor |
Nah, I'm in a HUGE area full of
homeschoolers, that are secular and
crunchy |
|
20:43:49 |
alegna |
but it is something I'm watching friends
struggle with |
|
20:43:56 |
alegna |
ah... alas. lucky |
|
20:44:04 |
hathor |
But I have friends that have a similar
problem |
|
20:44:12 |
alegna |
that's what I get for living in the
south, eh? |
|
20:44:25 |
EmoMom |
depends on your area of the country Im
sure. Here in the bible belt, they are
mostly christian, and in the Pacific
Northwest they'd be secular and crunchy
:) |
|
20:44:26 |
hathor |
It's easy to start your own parkdays
though |
|
20:44:31 |
alegna |
though you'd figure in a city the size
of houston there'd be a few other
weirdos |
|
20:44:50 |
alegna |
you'd be suprised |
|
20:44:50 |
hathor |
They might be hiding in their home like
you! |
|
20:45:03 |
alegna |
we're working on getting an apish
playgroup off the ground |
|
20:45:16 |
alegna |
so far just about everyone else had
c-sections and formula feeds.... |
|
20:45:18 |
EmoMom |
yep. mothering tribal areas are a great
place to find them, as well as anyplace
like a holistic moms group or similar. |
|
20:45:27 |
gracefulmom |
? |
|
20:45:40 |
hathor |
You could put up some signs at the store
and see what happens, and if you start
now, you might have kids to spend time
with |
|
20:45:43 |
alegna |
yeah, we're working off mdc... got a
few people |
|
20:45:51 |
EmoMom |
I live in the Raleigh NC area, and there
are LOADS of crunchy folks here, but I
find that new moms I meet that are like
me often dont know about the crunchy
people :) |
|
20:45:55 |
alegna |
exactly my plan :) |
|
20:45:56 |
hathor |
what's your LLL like? |
|
20:46:00 |
alegna |
planing ahead. |
|
20:46:04 |
alegna |
very mainstream |
|
20:46:24 |
hathor |
EmoMom ! you're from Raleigh? |
|
20:46:36 |

20:48:08 |
alegna |
yeah, I don't mind the christian, as
long as it's not in-your-face |
|
20:48:14 |
hathor |
I like for my kids to play and hang out
with all kinds of people |
|
20:48:17 |
alegna |

My mom's on a mailing list for
homeschoolers that's supposedly for
Christians but really has some of
everybody. She calls it her Crazy
Christians United" mailing list, I don't
know what CCU is supposed to actually
stand for." |
|
20:48:30 |
hathor |
my homeschool group in Raleigh was
really really good |
|
20:48:35 |
EmoMom |
im the crunchiest homeschooling mom in
our co-op, but they dont seem real put
out by my wierdness |
|
20:48:42 |
gracefulmom |
I find my parenting style is more in
line with crunchy" than conservative
Christian." |

With any luck that's how my senior year

hathor |

|
20:53:17 |
EmoMom |

things besides the comic? Like regular
interviews or anything? |
|
20:53:21 |
hathor |
I have some good activism projects in
the workss... |
|
20:53:31 |
EmoMom |
cool! |
|
20:53:50 |
hathor |
yep, as amatter of fact I was just
interviewed on naturalmomsradio.com |
|
20:54:05 |
EmoMom |
didnt even know that site existed |
|
20:54:12 |
hathor |
th einterview is up if you want to
listen to it... |
|
20:54:22 |
patricelondon |
Me either. I just looked it up |
|
20:54:36 |
hathor |
I'm very concerned about CPS starting to |
|
20:54:52 |
hathor |
focus on our attachment parenting styles |
|
20:55:11 |
EmoMom |
i hear that, I remember you commenting
on the UC thread |
|
20:55:14 |
hathor |
and I am planning an advocacy campaign |
|
20:55:24 |
EmoMom |
but you dont use hathor on mdc, so I
wanst sure that was you |
|
20:55:32 |
hathor |
that mamas can do |
|
20:55:38 |
Webmama_Tina |
what are you on mdc? |
|
20:55:57 |
skye |
my ex landlord, who cosleeps and just
started a LLL chapter, threatened to
call CPS on me for cosleeping with my 7
yr old son and taking him to my (very
safe) office job with me daily |
|
20:56:02 |
hathor |
actually I am Hathor :D just about
everywhere |
|
20:56:27 |
hathor |
Skye! that sucks! |
|
20:56:36 |
alegna |
? |
|
20:56:40 |
skye |
absolutely... the hypocrisy kills me |
|
20:56:46 |
Webmama_Tina |
4min left mamas |
|
20:56:47 |
hathor |
alegna? |
|
20:56:53 |
alegna |
Ideas on what we can do to fight/protest
local cps stuff? |
|
20:57:00 |
alegna |
ours is pretty bonkers. |
|
20:57:07 |
hathor |
I think some people are |
|
20:57:21 |
hathor |
stuck in a mindset that CPS are helpful |
|
20:57:21 |
Webmama_Tina |
www.naturalmomsradio.com is the site? |
|
20:57:22 |
alegna |
I know how to cover my self and keep
them out of my business, but I don't
know how to fight the goliath |
|
20:57:34 |
Webmama_Tina |
can't find it |
|
20:57:36 |
EmoMom |
natural moms talk radio |
|
20:57:40 |
EmoMom |
i had to google it |
|
20:57:44 |
hathor |
and they don't really take into
consideration, what |
|
20:57:48 |
Webmama_Tina |
www.naturalmomstalkradio.com ? |
|
20:57:59 |
EmoMom |
yes |
|
20:58:08 |
Webmama_Tina |
lana jordan? |
|
20:58:11 |
Webmama_Tina |
ok |
|
20:58:12 |
hathor |
it wuold be like if they had CPS
knocking on their door. |
|
20:58:16 |
patricelondon |
I was just about to say I don't see the
site |
|
20:58:18 |
EmoMom |
so far Ive not had any problems
homeschooling, homebirthing, not vaxing
here in raleigh |
|
20:58:32 |
alegna |
sadly I have a full plan on what to do
if CPS shows up |
|
20:58:38 |
hathor |
It's time for the mamas who are not |
|
20:58:45 |
EmoMom |
but Im good friends with a well known
midwife here and Id call her first if I
got any flack |
|
20:58:46 |
alegna |
I have no particular worries, but I'm a
planner |
|
20:59:03 |
hathor |
being investigated to start to advocate
for t he families taht are |
|
20:59:18 |
EmoMom |
like i need to get a waiver on file for
not vaxing, and I need to register with
the state for homeschooling, both this
summer |
|
20:59:23 |
hathor |
It can't hurt to have a good plan in
place |
|
20:59:39 |
hathor |
but you don't want to be fearful either |
|
20:59:47 |
alegna |
the important thing is to know your
rights then you can make good decisions |
|
21:00:05 |
hathor |
But if you are feeling strong and ready
to be activist |
|
21:00:09 |
alegna |
exactly. I'm not afraid of them,
because I know how to get around their
rules |
|
21:00:31 |
hathor |
I think it is crucial to make sure that
everyone has the right to be in their
family |
|
21:00:39 |
Webmama_Tina |

alegna |
here they screw up in both directions-
send kids home who are sexually abused
by dad |
|
21:01:21 |
alegna |
and take away kids with cancer because
their parents dare to question the
almighty dr. |
|
21:01:41 |
