Guest guest Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 --- let's just say stubborn would be putting it mildly : ). it's her way all the way. the ONLY thing she will eat of mine is homemade bread and cheesecake--all else, no. I think her problem is if she tries it--she might ACTUALLY like it and then it would be admitting she was wrong which won't likely ever happen : ). so I am literally on my own here with veggie. I might be able to convert 1 sister but other sister is an exact clone of my mom and might even be pickier yet : ). but it's OK--I have developed " deafness " when it comes to criticism of any sort that isn't merited from either side. it just rolls off : ). I was at least slightly vindicated this past week with kids : ). we had report cards and parent/teacher conferences and she had insisted the kids wouldn't be able to handle " regular " school having been homeschooled their entire lives. kids both got straight A's and our son who is mildly autistic even had glowing reports of performing outside of a rigid special education program the public school insisted he needed. so to all homeschool moms--it does work despite what the naysayers say : ). take care : )..................
