ORIGINAL: SavageFaerie What worries me is that my daughter is inherently lazy and at the beck and call of her Partner. He comes first the ums come second, I cant see her enrolling him in extracurricular activities. Nothing wrong with some things coming first, Sage but the laziness factor is an issue. It's not simply a matter of slapping some books down and saying "do this". There's many different ways of homeschooling and philosophies about it. If she wouldn't get him out and about, whether through additional activities, church, community centre or homeschooling groups that meet up for activities, then he could be a bit isolated. Some children need that (my youngest who is on the Autistic spectrum did) and others need the interactions. So we had a combo. Even when lived there for 3 years, it was a point of contention about extra activites including interacting with other kids. Because of my last ex, her and her brothers dealt with alot of isolation and the social skills was less then they should have been. If her Partner doesnt wanna do it, it doesnt happen. He after 3 years has accepted the kids as part of the problem, as last time I talked to the their were calling him my dad. I do hope there was a breakthough in regards to that as it used to be they are not my kids and there acting like a dad isnt gonna happen, I will feed, cloth and make sure of necessary things but thats about it. There is alot more to it but will not add to it as I prefer not to air to much dirty laundry on a formal site
