[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 271757, member: 1233"] I am totally behind this mom. I get SO MUCH criticism because I have limited my kids to only ONE activity out of school at a time. If they pick a sport, then no scouts. If scouts, then no sport. Just ONE thing. I want, and always wanted, them to have time to develop their imaginations - and if every moment is schedulted and organized this will never happen. I see it all the time in J's friends. They have NO CLUE how to act if on their own. Jess can cook, clean, do most any/everything. thank you is rapidly learning. I had to supervise Wiz more, but he proved to me he NEEDED the supervision. It totally is an every kid individually kind of thing. This mom is so right - esp about people always judging other parents. I worked with a guy who is a SAHD. His wife is a professor and his head has always been to far up in the clouds to cope with a real job other than a cook in a restaurant (Not a bad thing, but he is a genius - literally a genius and could do so much more but refused.). He has lectured me so many times on how unhealthy my kids are because I buy our veggies in the regular store not the organic one, and how I didn't totally breastfeed any of my kids, how activities that I let them choose are the wrong ones, etc... It is to the point I totally avoid him and his wife - and I really really enjoyed the parenting/homeschool group we both belonged to. I just won't go because I hate the judging because I let thank you go to school. [/QUOTE]
