Hello there you crazy and wonderful group of unschoolers. I am
very new to this unschooling idea but everything about this
transcends to my very core. My problem now is my significant
other --- I've tried to share some of my thoughts with him but it
seems like i'm talking to a wall.

But before I go into all that let me explain my situation and then
maybe all of you may have some advice/suggestions. First I am a
mother of 2 boys each by a different father. Now the SO I speak of
above is the father to my second child. We are currently not
married and he also has 2 other children him self. All together we
have children ranging from age 5 down... First, I don't he has
really thought about what parenting really is (he's 25 and I'm
37) .. I almost feel like he is just going through the motions of
life and following everyone elses path and example. Now I really
don't want to follow everyone elses path. I have before but it
isn't working..

So I guess what I'm trying to ask is how do I at least get my SO to
understand what I would like to implement in my children's life with
out really trying to 'change' him but also not to end up arguing
about this.

My thought was to implement the unschooling basics as I begin to
understand them with my son (4 years old) and as life
becomes 'easier' and more peaceful in the household than maybe he
will begin to see what the heck I'm talking about. But in the
meantime how do I stop the discomfort he is causing by
his 'controlling' ways with the kids?

Hi - You could get Naomi Aldorts 6 tape series at naomialdort.com. I
listened to these in the car with my dh, and it got him on board. Then, I could add
to that foundation.

Warmly,
Cynthia
