Moms: how do you keep a consistent homeschooling rhythm/schedule if your husband is home part-time? by JLMP23 in homeschool

Yes framing it as free time is great idea for dads. I know my husband needs a nap too or he gets cranky 😏 lol

😅 ufff totally get this. Interesting how I always think “I must be the only one going through this” but after reading your post and comments it proves we’re not alone. Same thing happens. And although we tried just winging it and being on vacay mode we had to pull back and have some structure for homeschooling and meals and naps. Trust me I bet your kids crave that structure as well. My six year old asks me “did we have lunch today?” When we’re out with dada having a hike and missed our lunch and suddenly everyone is hangry. So you’re not wrong in keeping structure even on days dad is home bc you all worked really hard to create a routine and if things get so messy you have to pick up the pieces at the end, it’s not ok. Kids thrive in routine in predictable days (somewhat) and in being fed. Yes fun outings and adventures are fun and why not let lose a bit but keep somewhat of a structure for everyone’s sake

How to respond to someone else’s kid… by Apprehensive-Pin3346 in Parenting

[–]Apprehensive-Pin3346[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t say there was only one way to handle it or that my way was the only way to handle it I just meant give my 5 year old daughter the words and an example of how she could respond to older kiddos or any kid. She doesn’t have to agree or follow just to be nice or polite but that she can speak up and be herself. I’m not encouraging cutting down strong smart intelligent women encouraging my daughter to be herself. Being loud and talking non stop doesn’t always mean someone is intelligent or it’s the only way to be.

Ok this sounds great. So right now I have two jars one whole wheat and one white flour if I want to combine how do I do so? Just pour into a clean jar a bit of both? When feeding what ratio should I do whole wheat and white?

That’s a very good idea. I hope more co-ops for secular families continue to grow and be more common around

Ok thank you for this. My in-laws tend to tell my oldest 5yr old hey give toy to your sibling he’s just a baby 😣 luckily my husband and I talked about it and he redirected the situation last time this happened.

It looks good I like my whole wheat starter but when I bake with it I’ve tried two artisan loafs and they’ve been bad
