carabear My parents violated my trust significantly when I was younger and it still hurts me today more than 10 years later. With this in mind, telling her you had a keylogger is NOT a good idea. Instead, just let me know that you are aware she violated the rules based...

carabear Most children that are homeschooled are not spoiled. They tend to be much further ahead academically. I would actually think that having a child that is disabled would put her in a better position to home school since she would be well aware of the problems...

carabear Your first step really needs to be finding a job you can work at from home. Hopefully you can find something that would allow you to still keep the kids at home as well. A lot of the telecommuting jobs want you to have no children at home with you which makes...

carabear Going to a public school does not allow a child to explore the world outside. They are instead locked in a building with other children who are all longing to get outside and explore. Children who are homeschooled are typically much better adjusted and are...

carabear If a teacher EVER did that to my child, I would be in jail for assault because I would beat the crap out of them. No one should ever lay a hand on a child like that, especially if it not their child.
