Hi all, I'm so glad to be a part of this group. We still have one child left at home, but he decided to attend public high school this yr. He went in as a 10th...
Isn't it funny? You unschool for years, and when your kid goes to high school or college, it is so novel for them, they do just fine! It is as if they aren't...
LOL, I know what you mean about adult children coming home to live. Our oldest dd who just turned 27 (still single) has been back at home now for almost 3 yrs....
Just curious how others who have homeschooled from the beginning deal with it once most of their kids are in college or are about to get married. Our youngest...

Can't help you there! I just "adopt" other people's kids to fill the void. It is tough though. I have 2 that are career military and I'm always wishing they...
My youngest left home the day this group started! All three of my children now live in the west and I'm in New Jersey. Naturally, that wasn't part of the plan,...

Actually my daughter ended up going to college 11 hours away from here. The problem with raising independent children is that you end up with independent...
My daughter lives about 5 hours away, going to college, and is engaged. I "hope" they decide to move to our area but it's quite possible that they won't....
When the "empty nest" was beginning to loom on the horizon for me, it was a hard phase. Starting to think ahead to all the "wonderful" things I could do when...
Hello I am new to the group. My name is Linda and things are changing very fast around here. I am kind of feeling like a duck out of water. One thing I miss...
Hi! I'm variously known as "Nancy in Indiana," "Nancy in Bloomington," "Hoosiernan," or "the homeschooler formerly known as MsTerreE@...." I have two...
Well hi MsTerreE! I remember that name well from AOL days. Isn't it amazing how fast kids grow? I've got contractors here working on the house. I'm jokingly...
I joined this group about a week ago when yahoo was playing up, but haven't seen any mail. Should I have received a general message telling me how to post or...
