Hi Susan, |
|
21:06:09 |
hathor |
got a question |
|
21:06:14 |
SusanMBurke |
Hi! I was wondering what your response
is to people who give you a hard time"
about home unschooling? We have a 2
year old we are currently, I guess have
always been , home unschooling." |
|
21:07:02 |
hathor |
It depends on what their problem is?
Usually it's socialization |
|
21:07:20 |
SusanMBurke |
What do you say to them? |
|
21:07:38 |
hathor |
I was talking to a woman the other day
and she asked if we homeschooled and she
said she was worried my children were'nt
socialized |
|
21:08:16 |
hathor |
This while my daughters are bagging
their groceries, talking to the cashier,
paying the money, hamming it up with the
baggers |
|
21:08:43 |
SusanMBurke |
exactly! That and the whole, how will
they learn if you don't make them do
lesson sheets, etc."" |
|
21:09:16 |
hathor |
I told her we were going to a park day
to meet a bout 25 other kids and she
said yeah, uh huh, cause I would be
really worried that your kids aren't
going to be socialized!"" |

Yep, I was worried in the beginning, and
still worry sometimes. Is my daughter
ever going to learn to walk, talk, read,
climb the monkey bars? And then she
does... |
|
21:10:48 |
hathor |
Hi Sufia, your question? |
|
21:10:56 |
Sufia |
As a former teacher, I'd be a lot more
worried that they *would* be
socialized...school style. :-O |
|
21:11:42 |
hathor |
We hang out with a large group of
homeschoolers and the friendships are
easy, fun, fair, really calm and lovely |
|
21:12:33 |
hathor |
Sure you have problems, arguements,
troubles, conflicts but there's always a
mom there to help smooth it over. The
kids aren't left to fend for themselves |
|
21:12:48 |
mama2bug |

21:13:15 |

Of course this idea, of a lurking mama
tends to freak some people out. Our
culture seems to like to get the babies
as far away from the mama as possible |
|

your question? mama 2 bug |

21:14:22 |

Did you find it difficult to connect

you could form a playgroup/mama group

I have never heard of californias first
5 initiative? What is it? |
|
21:18:26 |

They want all kids in preschool, they
are doing a massive ad campaign saying
that if kids go to preschool they won't
commit crimes or join gangs or be drop
outs. |

21:18:57 |

How do you manage to mother three kids
and create so many great comics? I can
barely manage just dealing with my two.
Do you have a daily schedule or
something? |
|
21:20:56 |
hathor |
I found that adding the second baby was
soooooo overwhelming! The third is much
easier |
|
21:21:40 |
hathor |
That being said, I am a follower of the
continuum concept, in which the mother
lives her life, does her work with her
children in attendance |
|
21:22:08 |

I wake up and right after breakfast when
the kids are fresh I knock out a comic

|
21:23:30 |
Webmama_Tina |
i'm so glad to hear someone else has a
house that looks like crapola! |
|
21:24:17 |
Webmama_Tina |
my question....well i have read the
continuum concept to and i was wondering
if you take any special time to play
with your kids...i have a really hard
time getting down and playing...i always
am thinking of all the stuff i need to
get done! |
|
21:24:25 |
hathor |
Oh man, my MIL just left and we all
exhaled (from keeping it clean for 6
days) and it looks like a tornado hit! |
|
21:24:41 |
Webmama_Tina |
thinking about the cultures that the
continuum concept refers too...i doubt
much mamas play |
|
21:25:22 |
hathor |
I don't play that much in the house, not
pretend or anything, I love to dance
with the girls |
|
21:25:42 |
hathor |
And when we go out I love to play and
jump rope and stuff |
|
21:26:08 |
Webmama_Tina |
yeah i love doing stuff with the
homeschooling groups we go to |
|
21:26:25 |
Webmama_Tina |
playing is so hard for me though, at
home and such...don't know why...daddy
is much better at it... |
|
21:26:46 |
hathor |
I love the book playful parenting and
try to be that kind of fun, humorous,
silly parent but the CC helps me to not
feel so guilty when I say, I have to get
this done, go play with your sisters |
|
21:26:48 |
Webmama_Tina |
me, i'm always putting a load of laundry
in or washing some dishes or nursing the
baby or changing the baby...you know the
drill |

have to play no matter what |

it...makes me feel real guilty |

What do you do about toddler-age kids
who are always wanting to distract you
when you are working- grabbing pencils,
etc? I try distraction, or giving them
their own tools" but some dys, nothing
works." |

I joined the cc list and love to get the
ideas on how to overcome guilt and feel
confident |

Sometimes it helps to start the game,
and to give your child open ended
toys...like a rope ladder for the tree,
a rope some wood, hammers and nails?
Pots and pans, mud a pile of sticks to
build a house? |
|
21:34:48 |
hathor |
A shovel? And remember that as they get
older they play more and more on their
own. Maybe an hour today but by the time
they are ,8 hours............ |

How long have you breast fed you
children? I am having a hard time
lately with our 2 year old, what with a
full mouth of teeth, and she has
reverted back to nursing at night like a
new born since she is not nursing as
much during the day. |
|
21:36:57 |
hathor |
Totally read the CC and check out
Ishmael and My Ishmael...man they'll
rock your world! |
|
21:38:23 |
hathor |
So far all of my babies nursed until
they were 3+, they both weaned when I
was pregnant with the next one. As I
added babies they slept better, perhaps
because there are more of them in the
bed. It can be tiring to think you'll
never sleep again |
|
21:38:37 |

but you will... I promise! |

Does your family watch tv at all? I'm

I love co-sleeping and plan to continue
with future kiddos, but our king-sized

myself and our one year old DD. How do
you do it with three kids?! Do they make
extra super large family-sized beds? |
|
21:47:46 |

I've heard they make huge ones for
celebreties, but then you have to move
it in and out of your house!We sleep on

then many hours each hour, bless you for
doing it with twins. I bow down to you! |
|
21:52:34 |

Haven't got a son, my girls are really
comfortable with nakedness, but there
isn't that stigma. It's a tough one. I'd
want my son to be comfortable with my
body, you are teaching him about love
and respect and comfort. But you have to
be careful about the culture police |

yeah no kidding i do not want to feel

I'd say a support group, because you
have to be so careful about a therapist.
Do they support AP? But I'd really open
my mind and let the support of the group
help me. You have to be open to their
advic e which isn't often easy |

Hi Hathor! Love your work. I have a
22# 6 month old and have a hard time
slinging him with my ring sling. Too
heavy! Any suggestions? |

22:06:12 |

best they can with what they are dealing
with. Try to figure out what is making
their best not be good enough |

My shoulder gets very sore after just a
short time. I love that you are
slinging your baby in your work all the
time. |
|
22:07:55 |
hathor |
Mine run so much now I rarely get the
time, but I always have a sling on for
the off chance. |
|
22:08:11 |
hathor |
That's what's so great about the sling,
it has potential. |
|
22:08:35 |

I've tried a Mei Tai which is great for
when we're out, but I'm looking for
something more for around the house. |
|
22:08:36 |
hathor |
backpacks aren't that great for wearing
around without a baby! hee hee |
|
22:09:59 |
hathor |
any more questions |
|
22:10:11 |
mama2bug |
A frivolous question: Your kids are
varying ages. What bought" toy has stood
the test of time through all of them?
(And doesn't drive you crazy? LOL)" |
|
22:10:55 |
hathor |
We've moved so much and *lost* so many
toys! Where did I put them? |
|
22:11:20 |
hathor |
My kids are always happy with their play
kitchen and art supplies. |
|
22:12:07 |
kfein |
I want to keep nursing my 21-month-old
until she's finished, but I'm wavering
now. |
|
22:12:08 |
hathor |
I have a lot of waldorf-y blocks and
stuff that I love to play with! hee hee |
|
22:12:22 |

There are always moments when you waver,
weaning happens over a LONG period if it
takes into account your child's feelings |
|
22:13:52 |
hathor |
There are many many two year old moments
when having a breast fulll of milk is
very handy! |
|
22:14:00 |
kfein |
I never really weaned my first child
because I nursed her so long it was just
easy. |
|
22:14:01 |
Webmama_Tina |
hathor, do you need to get going? i see
a couple more moms with questions...let
us know if you have to go |
|
22:14:44 |
hathor |
Just breathe through the low point would
be my advice, and hang out with some
mamas who have been there... |
|
22:15:04 |
kfein |
thank you. that helps. |
|
22:15:31 |
hathor |
I never tandem nursed though, so I'm not
the best advocate for extended, extended
nursing, just regular. Hee hee. |
|
22:15:46 |

22:16:30 |
mairead |
well big boobs got ahead of leaky
boobs!! |
|
22:16:35 |
Leakyboobs |
Just curious (though you just answered
the tandem question..) How old were the
girls when they nursed? |
|
22:16:37 |
Leakyboobs |
LOL |
|
22:16:47 |
Leakyboobs |
weaned too? |
|
22:17:28 |
hathor |
You are a goddess! You are yummy! You're
rocking the world of two (no three!) wee
ones! Kiss Kiss and hug hug and go to
the mirror right now and tell yourself
that you are the rockingest, coolest,
mama ever (besides Hathor, hee hee) |
|
22:17:59 |

MY first weaned when she was 3.5 my
second when she was right at 3, both
times I was 4 months pregnant at the
time..I thought I wanted to tandem |
|
22:18:54 |
thatfatbaby |
sounds like my two only they were 2.5
yrs apart in age |
|
22:19:09 |
thatfatbaby |
i did too hathor then I DID lol |
|
22:19:45 |
hathor |
But my emotions and breasts were so raw
that I was feeling pretty mutual when
they weaned. |
|
22:20:27 |
Leakyboobs |
It seems to be pretty bittersweet for
most... :) Thanks. |
|
22:20:46 |
hathor |
Absolutely. and Thanks. |
|
22:20:48 |
thatfatbaby |
kwym i am sure my dd would have weaned
alot sooner if i hadn't had levi monkey
see monkey do |
|
22:22:29 |
hathor |
I've heard so many conflicting stories
from mothers about whether they are
happy to have weaned or not, to tandem
or not |
|
22:22:56 |
Webmama_Tina |
hathor, did you want to wrap up or
continue? i can end the official chat
and you can stick around and chit chat
all you like :) |
|
22:23:10 |
Leakyboobs |
My usual answer is simply that I'm too
lazy to wean... then you have to, like,
do stuff when they get hurt or hungry or
frustrated or etc etc etc... |
|
22:23:30 |
hathor |
My babies were spaced pretty far so I
didn't feel that conflicted. I wanted to
tandem on a theoretical level but
emotionally I'm glad I've been able to
devote so much energy to each baby in
turn |
|
22:23:39 |
Webmama_Tina |
sorry i've been distracted w/my wee
one...nusing/sleeping in my arms...was
stirring a sec ago and tiook my
attention |
|
22:24:01 |
hathor |
And oh yes, almost all of my parenting
skills can be chalked up to laziness... |
|
22:24:16 |
hathor |
did I mention the state of my house? hee
hee |
|
22:24:22 |
Leakyboobs |
lol |

but got to go get the wee ones to bed! |
