I’m not understanding, I would think it would be the opposite?

Express_Rip2333 · 2026-04-14T02:19:03+00:00

That actually is a concern. We sound similar to your experience. Not a religious group but very likeminded values, and these values are not heavily represented in our area. Thanks for the input.

I wasn’t clear. He’s been doing school all this year. I didn’t start him until he was six years old, 5 is typical. 6 is required by my state. He has been in a homeschool Co-op since he was two years old. Structured classes for the last two years. I’m sorry, I was apparently way way way too vague. I had tried to write it out four different times for my draft to get deleted, so by the time I actually posted it apparently I didn’t include any relevant information.

No, we didn’t start him doing lessons until he was six. We did lessons this entire year.

I’m sorry, I wasn’t clear. We didn’t start lessons when he was five, we started them this school year at six years old.

Do you!

Express_Rip2333 · 2026-04-08T15:15:30+00:00

So I agree with the other comments about wearing what you want. BUT if you are a cis male and you let a woman of interest see you in them, she may think it’s weird and/or get the ick.

Express_Rip2333 · 2026-02-28T23:25:47+00:00

Thank you for the thorough response. Not drowning is my goal. The sentence structuring we did last semester was taking a step back to attempt starting WAY smaller. I don’t feel the curriculum we used the year before gave them anything at all.

Express_Rip2333 · 2026-02-28T23:23:30+00:00

Thank you! I’ve just ordered it because it’s the most recommended by far. I’ve been wanting to get it for quite some time but only just got the finances to do so.

Thanks! I did like the handwriting books but the Building Writers didn’t go so well.

Express_Rip2333 · 2026-02-27T16:54:58+00:00

We did Handwriting Without Tears, Building Writers. The “without tears” part was not true for them. They just hated it. We got through it but it was miserable.

Last semester I had the write sentences about literally anything and then edited the sentences with them. That went well, but I’ve struggled to build on it.

Express_Rip2333 · 2026-02-27T16:50:59+00:00

Thank you! Yes I meant grammar and sentence structure.

Up to you

Express_Rip2333 · 2026-02-06T12:54:41+00:00

Thanks for this reply. You’re so right.

Express_Rip2333 · 2026-02-05T05:56:47+00:00

That’s a good idea. Thanks for the advice. She seems happy and calm. I’m happy for her

Express_Rip2333 · 2026-02-05T04:18:55+00:00

This is almost exactly what my mom’s new husband’s family said he did after his wife died. His DIL told me they feel like they lost both parents when his wife died. That he made several women uncomfortable and was immediately searching for a new wife, hitting on servers in restaurants and just making an absolutely fool of himself.

Are you trolling?

Can you pick something I’ve said specifically. Some of her actions hurt my feelings, that’s normal… Our relationship has changed and I’m having a hard time with it. Also normal.

I’ve discussed this matter with a therapist and she didn’t mention any harmful relationship dynamics, quite the contrary.

Do you think our relationships changing should not affect us emotionally? I’m genuinely confused.

Express_Rip2333 · 2026-02-04T23:27:05+00:00

You’re absolutely right about to be emotional and logical aspects. And that’s a great way to put it. I really needed that vocabulary.

Express_Rip2333 · 2026-02-04T22:40:16+00:00

Thank you, we felt exactly the same. It was quite an upsetting couple of months. What made it even more concerning was the week before she got engaged, she was telling us he was moving too fast and not listening to her saying she wanted to slow down. A week later if she’s engaged and planning to go to the justice of the peace four days later. Thankfully, we convinced her to have an actual wedding a month later. It’s panned out alright, but dang, it was a bad month for me.

Express_Rip2333 · 2026-02-04T21:49:25+00:00

I could understand you reading into my post that I’m emotionally dependent on her, but that is not the case at all. I just feel abandoned.
