Our son is 29 already, homeschooling was not much of an option then, but looking back, I know he was so socially oriented personality wise, keeping him home would have backfired on me and we would have argued most likely a good portion of the day because I could not have met those needs for him at home.<BR/><BR/>When I changed my attitude with my son he was already in his twenties, it was mostly just not being dragged into an argument or getting drawn into using the same tone he used with me, in other words not getting sucked into his mood. I also told that I did not deserve to be spoken to that way and would speak to him when he could respect that -- but it was the way I said it -- I said it nicely (again not letting him drag me down) and more like with confidence that he would respect it rather than demanding or whiny. . I hope that makes sense, it has been a while now. <BR/><BR/>I hope you are able to relax now that the charter school is available, it sounds awesome!Marcia (MeeAugraphie)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00656288704821106002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3836814252812539935.post-48518384641042570402007-04-16T07:24:00.000-07:002007-04-16T07:24:00.000-07:00It's hard to let go of ideals, even if they aren't...It's hard to let go of ideals, even if they aren't actually being realized in our lives...Ampersandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14469014547016164445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3836814252812539935.post-80111295195516495442007-04-15T08:07:00.000-07:002007-04-15T08:07:00.000-07:00I am surprised you read it as excitement, but glad...I am surprised you read it as excitement, but glad, because I honestly read it as fear. I am scared. I am sad.

I hear the excitment in your post. If for some strange reason it doesn't work, you just approach it from another angle.Sandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468572119226394767noreply@blogger.com
