Hi Tami,
I am Tami and my mate is Michael too :)
Welcome!
Peace,
Tami
'Namaste' is an East Indian greeting which means 'the light within me bows
to the light within you.' In other words, beyond our achy bones, our tired
feet and our multi-colored real life soap operas, lurks a dimension that is
more than the body, the persona, the ego and all the 'trappings and the
suits of woe' as Hamlet would say---a dimension where there isn't a 'you'
and 'me' but rather a synergy that is more than all that, a space for the
eternal to rest within the temporal.

Two best suggestions I have are: find a kid to come and play. Doesn't need
to be 8 or a girl. An older kid might be better. Pay money if you need to,
but get someone to play with her. AND.... make yourself play. Whether you
love to or not, it's part of the job of an unschooling mom.
If you don't want to act out Barbie, don't. But find something you ARE
willing to do, whether it's hike and pretend with her that you're lost in the
mountains, or go to an amusement park and ride rides or tie a rope to something
outside and turn the other end so she can jump.
She'll learn by playing, and unschooling is going to need that.
When my third was an infant, I hired an older neighbor (she was 12) to come
and play with my boys, get them drinks, help them with things that were hard,
so I could sleep or nurse the baby with less frustration for me and the boys
too. I paid her $2 an hour at first, and later $3. When she was older, I'd
pay her $4 rounded up for babysitting if I was not at the house. The kids knew
her longterm and it was a relief for her to get away from her own house. She
was a homeschooler too, and lived three houses up.
That was easier than yours might be to find, but it's worth looking!

I'll confess that I hate games. I blame it on bad experiences with my older
brother. He always won and rubbed it in, and as we got older and I could beat
him, he then took to cheating. He beat me up once because I won at Monopoly,
when we were teenagers. I was an 20-something before I played another game,
and not with him!
It's really a shame, because there is so much learning to be had from games.
I do make myself play, but not near as much as Will would like. I like it
more now that he's older and can beat me fair and square. But, Charles plays
games with him more than I do, because he likes to play games. I just have a
bad taste in my mouth that I've never been able to get rid of...well, it's more
like a knot in my stomach, even though I can rationalize that Will is not my
brother and he's a good sport and all. Another feeling I hate is getting all
worked up wanting to win, and then the disappointment when I lose. I imagine I
felt that a lot as a child, but I've blocked most of that out. I recognize
it when I start to feel it, though, and then I just don't play. Ah! I just
realize it's the "NO FAIR!" feeling that I don't like. Courtesy of my brother.
:P Thanks for nuttin', Steve.
But I do try to be playful with my boy. We play in the pool. We play in the
car. I let him use my desk as an aircraft carrier. I just don't like
"games".

The quotes got lost on that last post, so I'm resending it slightly notated.
First Tuck quoted me, and then she made good comments, which seemed like part
of the same paragraph at first.
