Served her right, I’d say. What is it with Homeschool mom groups? I hear about this cliquey behavior all the time. I guess there’s a reason I prefer to work alone lol. As an antisocial homeschool mom, I’d be kicking ppl and their kids out of my house left and right.
Yep...Homeschool mom group......those of us with a funny bone called it the "Wine and Whine" meeting, the only kids in my house when we did this...was my kids...and the area we were in..in the house was off limits to even MY kids.
The group ranged in age and home school style.....and these four...lawdy.
Every group has them.....and I am never sure who I feel the most sorry/pity(sometimes utter disgust)for...the queen bee..or the groupies. ~sigh~
Oldest daughter was a public school kid all the way....P.T.A. Girl Scouts, Soft Ball, Gymnastic, Marching and Jazz Band 4H.....EVERY GROUP had this adult mean girl posse in it.
It was my first and last coordinated home school group....also mostly anti-social ( so much easier now that my kids are grown!!!) but more gave it up cuz our style was free form/un schooling and every one back then was trying to copy cat the S.O.P. of public school. This was back in the 90's when people were still getting on board with home school...and there was power and safety..in numbers....when dealing with school/gvmnt red tape.
The upside to the groups....even from the sidelines...great way to find ways to get the kids into community service.
I picked the few folks I could get along with...and worked one on one with them.....they kinda had the same 'tude I did...we needed to network...but we also needed to stay out of jail
Twice our guys have been conduits to curriculum......science, math, biology, civics....it was always so much fun to watch the kids get invested in learning about THE animal. My son used to tell people about Stonewall
"He's my dog but he's also my curriculum!!"
I know, I've felt sorry for my partner a couple of times venturing out with bruises or my black eye it looked so dodgy, not to mention when you get the same guy twice at the accident and medical!.... The dog did do it!!
BINGO!!! There have been times I have wanted to take the boys with me to the doc office to say
SEE!! THIS is WHY I look abused!!!
I feel for ya..I DO I DO!!!!!!!
