MerryMom Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 I am in the Facebook group, but was reminded today in that group of this message board. I might prefer it here, because Facebook is not my friend right now! I am a married mother of six. I teach math and science online part time. Glad to be here!
aviet Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 Welcome, I am a married mother of six. Waw, something to aspire to.
MerryMom Posted February 7, 2017 Author Posted February 7, 2017 Welcome, Waw, something to aspire to. I recommend it. I remember when I was little and first told my mom that my goal was to marry a man with a lot of money and have twelve children. My mom started screaming at me: "You can't rely on a man! You must have a back-up plan!" I was blown away, because my mom was a stay-at-home mom, and I thought we had a good life. I had no idea that she didn't think her own model was something to which I should aspire. My husband doesn't have a ton of money, but he works hard to make enough so I can raise our children at home. I probably won't make it to twelve children, but aim high and the result might still be respectable.

MerryMom Posted February 7, 2017 Author Posted February 7, 2017 Do you homeschool? If so what's it like in your area? Yes, we homeschool. There are some great homeschooling groups with lots of events in the nearest city, but that is about 45 minutes away. They also have a homeschool co-op there that meets once a week. I will probably join that when my kids get older. I still have one in diapers, so it became to hard for us to travel to these events.
