I just wanted to thank everyone on this board for being so open about everything. I'm still pretty shy about posting (I don't think I ever offer much in terms of good advice), so that leads to guilt about not properly contributing (you know, I feel like I'm such a "taker"). Maybe if I say thank you over and over it will somewhat make up for my lack of helpful contribution? Doubtful,
We love hearing appreciations. That totally takes the place of advice. Amy - you are Parenting - so by definition you are a giver, not a taker. If we can give you a little extra to spend with your family - that's perfect!
We learn as much from the kinds of help you ask for as we do from any advice. The main thing I'm here to learn is: "Does my child really have special needs? Aren't I just a bad mom to not MAKE him be satisfied with so little?"
Love and more Love,
Grinity
As to what to say to people, I suggest, "I thought it would be so much fun! Haven't you ever wanted to homeschool?"
Would that work?
