The purpose of this daily blog is to aggregate news and opinion regarding the particular struggles faced by single, homeschooling families. As a divorced, homeschooling father of three beautiful children ages 13, 10, and 4, I wanted a place where I could bring like minded people together to discuss this challenging life we have all chosen for ourselves and our families. While I love to rant about these things, I really want this to be a community. So, agree? Disagree? Post away! Enjoy.

Post-Thanksgiving Post

Thanksgiving went well. We all got along and ate too much. For some reason I don't feel like it's a holiday without making far too much food. Plenty of leftovers.

I miss living near more extended family. Holidays make me want to surround myself and my children with as many relatives as possible. I think that has something to do with my subconscious drive to make too much food... In any case, I'm considering some ways to make this happen on future holidays. Last week my aunt invited the kids and I to spend Thanksgiving with her and her kids (my cousins). She is our closest extended fam, about three hours away. That would have been fun, but we had already arranged to have dinner with Stacy and the kids at my place. When I told my aunt this, she invited Stacy along as well. Obviously this didn't happen this time, but it got me thinking. What are relationships with ex-in-laws like? It would be really nice if we could all still spend holidays with extended family, but it's a little hard to imagine that being a comfortable situation. When I brought up the idea to Stacy, she seemed pretty uninterested.

What do you all think? Any experience with ex-in-laws? I supposed it could get easier as time goes by. We shall see.

Lying shithead. You want to keep them from relatives so that no one learns of your sick inclinations- isn't that more accurate, perv?

Yeah of course he did. If he had dinner with his extended family he would have had to worn cloths...sick son of a B---H!!!!
