I am fortunate enough to have lots of wonderful home ed friends here and join in loads of great activities. That is what I need to think about and concentrate on.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16712579445183785360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198171722552586183.post-45480913672318768602008-12-02T21:51:00.000+00:002008-12-02T21:51:00.000+00:00I'll put it here...like Bridget says probably best...I'll put it here...like Bridget says probably best to ignore..but not easy. I've had problems with other home edders and will mail you. I think like most things in life you have to find your own way..sometimes groups just don't work but sometimes you do find people who you get on with and tbh you can form your own 'group' or circle of friends..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198171722552586183.post-13160505032741581282008-12-02T21:41:00.000+00:002008-12-02T21:41:00.000+00:00Thanks Bridget.

We get things like that every now and then. It does wind me up. luckily I'm so busy most of the time I don't get the time to brood on things. I want my children to remember me as "The fun Mum" not the one always worried about what evryone thought of us. Why can't people just butt out and look after their own lot instead of poking their noses in your affairs.<BR/>Keep smiling and try to keep ignoring.Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12545418260169484456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198171722552586183.post-24112016810819407382008-12-02T17:56:00.000+00:002008-12-02T17:56:00.000+00:00Doh, just tried to change my comment to add a bit ...Doh, just tried to change my comment to add a bit and ended up deleting it!<BR/><BR/>It's 11 years this week since my Dad's death. Not sure if it gets easier or just different with time.<BR/><BR/>Yes any advice you can give for surviving this home ed crisis would be gratefully received. I'll watch out for your mail later. I just want to be living in the moment with my kids you know - enjoying the good things and trying to resolve the unavoidable obstacles life throws at us. I don't want to be feeling preoccupied and upset about this sort of thing - it gets me down and it robs my kids of a 'mummy in the moment' because I'm so busy stressing about stuff I shouldn't have to.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16712579445183785360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198171722552586183.post-47706202999340119702008-12-02T17:47:00.000+00:002008-12-02T17:47:00.000+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16712579445183785360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198171722552586183.post-66492018928768524862008-12-02T17:44:00.000+00:002008-12-02T17:44:00.000+00:00Claire ((hugs)) my Dad died 11 years ago and anniv...Claire ((hugs)) my Dad died 11 years ago and anniversaries are hard.<BR/><BR/>I will mail you later about h.e stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
