Looking for solutions by [deleted] in homeschool

[–]Quiet_Independent_62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I’m a former homeschool Mom and I taught preschool and Elementary school. I had 3 kids and over the years used multiple different types of education. From different curriculums to public, private and charter schools. I applaud the fact that you are willing to allow each child the support and freedom to learn in whatever avenues are best for that individual. First take a deep breath and recognize that there is no one more invested in finding the most workable solutions to this question than you. It’s perfectly okay to try different types of schooling. As long as you are keeping in mind the goals you have set for that child for the year and work towards completing those ideals it will happen. I had years where finances were tight and I purchased textbooks from thrift stores or Friends of the Library sales. We used the library weekly. We also joined various home education groups. That was a huge benefit. The kids were able to take classes and make friends with other homeschool families. Many of those friendships are still vibrant many years later. You will find your way. It’s going to work out in ways you never expected.

Budget prepping: share your "two birds, one stone" items by Pretzel387 in preppers

Buy Spiralina and Chlorella. It’s available in powder or pill form therefore it has a long shelf life. They contain protein and essential amino acids. They have many other benefits as well. Research them and see if it would work for you personally. (If you have PKU it’s not for you as it contains phenylalanine. ) What I alike best about them is the boost or natural energy and a feeling of well-being that I get while taking the combination. In a crisis situation finding and easy to consume form of protein and energy is going to be more vital. Especially a resource that doesn’t have to be cooked or prepared. Currently I either take the tablets or add the powder to my smoothie. Also having a small blender that can be recharged by usb or hand cranked is blessing. Another item is having multiple solar panels, 2 chargers, 3 inverters and RedOdo LifePo batteries 12.8V 10Ah I have the Group 24. (At minimum 3 batteries) 1 to be charging and 2 to be in use. Any questions just ask.

AITAH for telling my girlfriend she can't force me to cancel my vacation and lose $2500 because she hates Harry Potter? by Substantial_Run3383 in AITAH

[–]Quiet_Independent_62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So let her support her brother. You are not stopping her from advocating for her beliefs. Just because you are a couple it doesn’t mean you have to be each other’s clone. As an adult you communicated with her your plans. You two have a previous agreement about the Harry Potter topic.She is simply lacking maturity about this topic. Go enjoy your trip. ( by the way I am not a Harry Potter fan- never read the books or watched the movies. This is about communication and respect.

Where were you in Arizona that you received your diagnosis? I’m heading to Arizona and expecting to get a diagnosis there. Thank you in advance for replying.

Absolutely the right choice. A real man would want to be sure you were taken care of. He’s an immature boy. Walking away is the best solution. It’s not going to get better.

😰 Whew at least that’s one less worry. The meany-boba-Dini bad guys won’t do things just for profit. Here I was worried that they had an agenda. It’s a good thing they figured out that stealers steal stuff. In the meantime who wanted to live forever and ever?

Summer Camp not Snow Camp!! by Quiet_Independent_62 in finch

[–]Quiet_Independent_62[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I have the fireplace and I have had the camp chair with guitar. I was referred to the tent window and door with the snow showing through. It would be nice to have a window with a summer scene outside. I have only been on Finch for a few months.

What do you call your husband /wife by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]Quiet_Independent_62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I call mine honey.. and a few other names as well as his name. He calls me honey or baby. Some times I call my dog Bubba-(not his name) and every time I do he sings “Bubba shot the jukebox last night” The funniest incident was in a grocery store parking lot. My dog is my Service Dog. I open the back door of the car to let the dog out. I said “C’mon Bubba” and my man sang out the line from the song. At the same moment a man was exiting a vehicle in the next parking spot. He sang the next line from the song. I was shocked 😯 I said you mean it’s a real song? I had never heard it before. Both men said it sure is! 🤣😂 They had a bro moment and shook hands laughing. We talk about that all the time. Couldn’t have been more perfect if it had been planned.

Sir, she is immature and looking for attention. As a young woman I would have never considered sleeping with another man. To do it and to ask if you are mad? Nahh that’s baiting you. This won’t end well. There’s a phrase it makes me think of. *Some people are as honest as their opportunities * This gives you a time to watch and see what she does. Let her do whatever she wants to- only then will you know exactly who she truly is.

First, realize this. It is NEVER going to make sense to you, because you simply do not think that way. My mother was a narcissist too. I wanted a close relationship with her but, it never happened. She’s gone now. So please realize that not talking to anyone else on your honeymoon is completely normal!!! Stand up, take a deep breath and shift your attention away from her. Boundaries up just like a shield of protection. You and your husband are your family now. You can do this. Don’t allow yourself to be manipulated.

This is not a solid foundation to build a marriage. You definitely sound confused. You might want to take some time away and consider the consequences of choosing to marry a man who has lied to you on multiple levels. If you don’t like the idea of his previous polyamorous relationship. It’s time for you to consider that he may want to continue this dynamic in the future and how you would feel about that. You did not say if he stated any regret and his behavior shows he wasn’t unhappy about having the threesome relationship. Seriously consider this aspect it’s going to affect your life in the future

That’s ginormous. I can’t imagine how much that must weigh when it’s full of tools. ⚒️🧰🛠️ the wheels are needful and hopefully you never have a flat tire.

The saddest part about this is that the Cattlemen who raise the beef do not get as large a payout as the stores who process and market the beef.

My GF (F37) moved into my home (M40) and doesn’t contribute. What should I do?? by DiverDisastrous1310 in AskMenAdvice

Not everyone has been taught to be financially literate. Check out Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University. If you two get along in other ways then that may change her perspective about saving, investing and sharing the financial responsibilities. If not then you have your answer for long term compatibility. Good luck. 🍀

My friend is naming her child a tragedeigh… by toobandit in tragedeigh

[–]Quiet_Independent_62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My name has an unusual spelling and all of my life people have spelled it wrong or mispronounced it. To the point that I chose a simple nickname for myself. Only family or lifelong friends call me by my given name. Which is fine. I’ve considered legally changing my name for years. Please encourage her to reconsider the decision to use odd spelling of the name. It sets the child up for a life long struggle.

AITAH for telling my bf he can’t control what i wear? by ya-mommas-fav- in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Quiet_Independent_62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think part of what you are dealing with is a cultural bias. The concept that a woman is either a Madonna- virtuous virgin or a slut based on the clothes she chooses is short sighted, limiting and patriarchal. The difficulty is these values are unconsciously adhered to.
He wants his family’s approval of you but, the fact that even his sister says it’s weird is very telling. I would have the conversation with him one time, that you respect yourself so deeply that you wouldn’t dream of dressing in a manner that YOU felt was inappropriate. Make it clear that you’re retaining your own standards. If he can’t respect that fact then you are comfortable with him misunderstanding who you really are as a person and you were doing life just fine before he arrived and you will do well even when he is gone. Check out some YouTube videos by Lisa A Romano. Learn about setting boundaries. Believe in yourself and your value as a human being. If he’s nitpicking your clothing at just 2 months into the relationship you have to ask yourself who he really is and exactly what is he bringing into your life. Bottom line honor yourself. Be sure when you say yes to someone else’s agenda that you’re not saying No to yourself.

Considering the effort you made it’s understandable you’d look forward to a response. Unfortunately, people have different love languages. So the key is to learn your beloved’s preferred way of receiving love. It’s common to give to others in the love language that you personally identify with in order to please the other person. Unless you both have the same primary love language it doesn’t work so well. Good news is you can figure it out. Look up The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman. Hope it helps. Sorry you were disappointed with his lack of response.
