SAH doesn't support change,

"SAH doesn't support change, it supports going backwards to the 1950's,"
Statement in a post below.
I wholeheartedly disagree. To me, SAH is a choice. How is that going back to the 1950s, when a lot of women didn't have much of a choice.

Gotcha. I guess I'm a bad mom then b/c I don't really "work with" my ds at all. Unless of course I'm misunderstanding what that really means. We read and play games, but I'm not sitting there with flash cards of the alphabet and shapes, etc. trying to get him to learn. We read books and play games but I'm not worried about it. The interesting thing is that my dd knew the entire alphabet by sight just a few months after she turned 2 y/o. I don't really recall exactly when Dominic learned it, but sometime b/w 2 and 3 y/o I think. Joey isn't even close, but I know in due time he'll get it. It's amazing to see the differences with each child and how quickly they learn something. Dominic has learned things much more quickly than Marie - I honestly think he wants to be able to do everything she can do. He just started kindergarten this week (WAHHHHHH!) and he's already reading at the same level as Marie was at the beginning of first grade. And when I'm asking her math problems, he often shouts out the answer before she does even though he hasn't even taken math yet. I have a feeling Joey is going to be at a much slower pace - he's not interested in sitting still long enough.
Does Peter start second grade next week? My kids started this past Monday. Marie was somewhat ambivalent about going back, but Dominic is so excited to be in school. He practically jumps out of bed and gets his uniform on, while I have to drag Marie out of bed. His first sentence when I picked him up on Monday was "School is fun!" If only he could have that attitude for the next 13+ years! I can't believe he is in kindergarten already. Two down, two to go.
