Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Mmmm......reduction.....

I had a cherry coke at dinner. Very stupid. No sleep for me!
What's unschooling? Is that like home schooling without the home schooling?
Essentially, yes. It took root in Texas where the homeschooling rules are so loose that there are no rules about what you teach your kids, or how or when. One leading pioneer of unschooling had a son who didn't learn to read until he was 13. It's entirely child-led. The kids learn whatever THEY want to learn and nothing they don't. It's actually very involved for parents. I know two families who do it.
I'm pretty sure I could leave Owen alone and he'd learn a lot. Not so sure about Liv.

Yum, Barb. Empty brain~ma, Aims. Or sleep~ma. Whatever works.
Lilty! Where have you been ?
I think my DH could have been unschooled in the right circumstances. I would have learned to read. and some odd ball facts, without coherence. DH makes all the connections, and I don't. While my BIL and SIL are not unschooling, their son is leading the way in a lot of his upbringing. For awhile, It didn't look like a great idea, but now that he is in school it seems to be working pretty well.
These boys who play with dolls also sometimes *gasp* help their mother bake!
I helped both my mother and father bake. Not sure where that puts me.
Ever make a #10 can full of cookie mix?
My dad and his five brothers are all excellent cooks. They learned from their dad.
When my parents got married, my mom didn't know how to cook. My dad, child of a single mom for a few years, did all of the cooking.
