how do i convince my husband
| Mon, 07-18-2005 - 4:09pm |
how do i convince my husband to let me at least job-share so i can take care of our 3 month old dd? he grew up with his mom working & all his friend's moms working. we can afford it if we cut back on some things, but he doesn't want to cut back & just doesn't understand someone wanting to be a stay at home mom...it doesn't help mycause that the grandmothers will babysit. i'm so unhappy about having to go back to work...he wants me to work full time 1 more year & just doesn't get it! i feel like my heart is being ripped from my chest every time i hink about it.

I'm confused too. This is because when I read momfhk's posts, I can't get a clear picture of whether she's relabeling the things all involved parents do as "homneschooling projects". Or whether she's requiring her daughter to do double the amount of schoolwork that either a regularly schooled or homeschooled child has to do (insofar as her dd has to do both and gets no downtime). Thus my posts waffle back and forth between thinking that momfhk merely observes what books her dd chooses to read for fun and then asks questions about them (involved parenting incorrectly labeled as homeschooling) or whether she hands her dd a reading list and assigns her books, thus taking away one of childhood's great joys, the serendipitous book. And that's just the part about books. Then there's all the craft projects. Did dd decide to make candles? (I used to do that all the time as a kid, mom's involvement was limited to making sure I didn't spill wax all over everything). Or was it an assignment? Does her dd get to do things that are just FUN for the sake of fun? Or must everything she does be chosen by mom and be educational? Two very different things that could be described exactly the same way in momfhk's posts.
I really can't tell from momfhk's curriculum list and descriptions. It really could go either way.
No no no...
You misunderstood me. I was agreeing with you. I think your point was to let kids explore things for themselves. I was totally in agreement with you.

So when you start homeschooling who will be checking up on your children?

But momofhk calls this homeschooling.
