@RizomaSchool My only rules when someone else is taking care of my child are “keep them alive” and “thank you” and because of that my husband I get date nights to see movies or have dinner and being a parent is soooo much easier than trying to do it without any breaks ever
@MadelaineLucyH@IamBalhamMatt It is not cruel to be a working mom who goes to a job and comes home to spend time with her children every evening and has fun filled family time every weekend. You are horseshoe-ing right back around to conservativism here. Women can be great mothers and have jobs.
@Cryot3@emilykmay Sort of like how you already came to a conclusion before even reading the study based on your own pre-conceived notions? I think you should use your noggin a little more
Hi @grok can you select three football fans in 72 hours who follow @tickpick, retweet this post, and comment their favorite team?
We want to add $100 in credit to their account for this season.
@FangornWaterINC@_giacomo_volpe_ Including all the foreigners shipped here by England, Ireland, and other European nations, right? I’m sure the people native to this land would largely agree.
@RadMothering@JoeCassandra I would agree more if it wasn’t an incredibly common experience shared by many homeschooled kids. R/homeschoolrecovery on Reddit is a great source if you are actually interested in the lived experience of people who were homeschooled vs how it makes parents feel about themselves
@RadMothering@JoeCassandra As someone raised in a homeschool environment where most of the kids I knew were also homeschooled - most DO face social deficits. Seeing different groups of people 1-3x per week is not the same as spending every day with the same kids in terms of forging strong connections.
@iamhypatia I’ve gone with friends who had kids and the mom didn’t even drink, just enjoyed the food and the specific toy area set up in the corner for kids. It was lovely. Maybe you don’t have/want community like that but they were 100% welcome there. Good parenting ≠ social isolation.
@iamhypatia @NewWestSarah @clhubes I love the sound of kids laughing and shrieking and playing. It’s joyful! If you don’t like it you can choose to be elsewhere, you don’t get to exclude children and families from public places.
