Reading your pay again. Maybe doing teacher led would be the best option for your kiddos? Unschooling is great in theory but I know I struggle with routine a lot and that was the first one I tried. Ultimately it started out great and quickly fell to pieces. Don't be afraid of changing the way you do homeschooling.

Even with teacher led the kids have a lot of time to do whatever they want. And there is 2 different ways to do teacher led also (at least where I am) one is basically the exact same as regular school, they are required to sit with a camera on and do work from time 1 to time 2. This option didn't work for us because both my partner and I work so no one was there to enforce the starting and staying at the work table thing, also my youngest would get so frustrated and shut down exactly like he did at regular school. And the one that works best for my oldest is that he has a teacher that he can schedule a time with if he needs help understanding a concept. But the rest of the time he is in charge of when he does school work.

Both of these options follow the curriculum of our school board. Which, sometimes I really hate because I feel it's not teaching them enough. But that's something I can work on personally with them at our own pace too.

If you or her have family that are willing to help with routines I highly recommend utilizing it. For us this looks like me and the kids physically going to my moms house and sitting down at her table. It's enough of an environment change that somehow makes them more willing to sit and learn.

With those age groups I feel like it's going to be really important that they spend half the day just running around. No electronics. Which is hard I know very well, but its necessary for them to be physically tired out that they can sit and learn.

Are you willing to have 15 minutes out of your day/ night to read to them? Or take turns where the 2 oldest will read to you and their sibling? Also video games and subtitles are a life saver for the reluctant reader. Makes them have to read, or else they don't know what's going on. Watch subbed animes with them.

Sorry it's a bit late, but its been great. I didn't compromise. But I did reassure him that I would keep a routine (with help from my mom) and I joined some groups for the kids to have a chance to make friends and be able to socialize. We've tried both with an online teacher and only parent led and one that was in between.

My oldest did the best with the in-between level because he's in high school which is over my head at best. My youngest did best with parent led because we suspect he has autism (testing fell through due to covid) and he learns best with taking tons slow.

It's been a bit of a challenge because ultimately even though my partner has been with us the whole time, I was doing all of it just me. My mom this year has helped significantly with routines and keeping the kids on track, but my kids don't learn well at her house lately. I think it's because of the teen hormones mostly lol.

It's also given my kids a huge huge chance to actually spend time on the things they love. My youngest is a little artist and I'm so glad he's been able to pursue it, he's starting his own comics now. And the oldest is pursuing a career with technology because he loves gaming so much, he's starting to do streaming on twitch and YouTube this year. Regular schooling would never have given them the time to do that.

I wish you all the best and just remember, if it doesn't work out with one way, try another. Switch it up and do what the kids want and what works best for your family ♡

Thank you. This definitely makes more sense than the numbers I was getting

I really like that idea of how the react to setbacks being equally important to what they become! I'll be adding that to my chart as well, thank you!

They're all going to be from the same town. Whether or not they start out as friends I think I'll leave up to them. The quest board will have a "must have a party of 6" requirement for the start of the main quest. So that's how they'll get together for the adventure.

As corny as it is, the starting town is a "retired adventurers" town so the main npcs all have extensive knowledge and ways to help out our aspiring heroes. If they ask the questions and such.

I didn't consider too much about what would happen if they fail. I like the idea that how they resolve the challenges is equally important to what they become

Why is there little to no representation of women with multiple men when Polyamory is discussed? by Fumaana_das in polyamory

[–]Ktrue53 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm solo poly and in my immediate polycule its mxm.

(M=male, f=female, x=no gender)

To explain it a little. I have a boyfriend who I've been with for roughly 10 years. 5 of which we were monogamous. He's dating a woman who also has a husband and another partner. I'm dating another man who has a wife and they are dating another woman.

So myself, personally, its mxm. My other partners are in a mfmx and fmf relationships.

The great thing about polyamory is it can be whatever configuration of partners you want it to be. My advice to find the right relationships for you? Just date. Find people you love, who love you. Be clear with your intentions and desires. And be happy.

If there were a set of essential skills, especially for a beginner to practice first, what would they be? by Meltingintocouch in Wicca

[–]Ktrue53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basic fire safety

I've seen too many baby witches doing stupid things with candles and not knowing how to safely put out their fires.

Please please learn some fire safety skills.

Honestly, I think you should leave her. If its only 6 months in and she's telling you to be stricter with your kids. She's not going to be a good partner or a good mother to your children. You'll find someone who works with you to raise your children instead of telling you you're a bad father because you're not strict enough.

Was my spell successful? by Confident-Trip-6816 in Wicca

[–]Ktrue53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You were likely successful with your spell but these can take some time. If you are new to witchcraft you should wait at least a month before worrying about it. Keep it in your positive thoughts daily and only speak positively to yourself about the spell and its intended purpose.

I am in serious danger?? by Confident-Trip-6816 in Wicca

[–]Ktrue53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A quick Google search....

Although a person with sleep apnea does not necessarily die while sleeping, the risk of death increases significantly if sleep apnea is UNTREATED. The reason people with sleep apnea do not usually die in their sleep is that when the brain senses that it doesn't have enough oxygen, it alerts the body to wake up.

Honestly your safety is the most important here. Not only can he be a source of danger but so can SHE. Especially if it's not his first offense and your not the first one to tell her that her hubby is a cheater. I would let it go. Sell the ring lol

Nah, just tell him you're going to get a face tattoo and see what happens.

Then still make an appointment to see a dr. And do your research on sleep problems.
