This is such an important point to me. This is something that I am
still learning to accept. It did used to hurt my feelings if we started
a project, and then everyone trickled away.... Now I just continue on
and if they come back great and if they don't that is just fine.
Isn't unschooling great! I've been learning soooo much. :)

I get frustrated when they ask me to start a project I don't want to do but
they do, then they leave me to finish it. If it is something I enjoy too, i
don't mind if they come and go.

I can relate to this :) Elly wanted to play with an Easy Bake Oven she got
for christmas from her auntie,(played with it once before this) she made one
tiny little cake, and then just made up all the the mixes and decided she
wanted to go watch her brother do his death defying tricks on the trampoline
:) I had a blast,( I couldnt let all the chocolate yummies go to waste!?)
each one little brownie, cake will fit in my mouth LOL anyway, had some
pretty cool little snacks for a little while :)
Indiana Tami-who will prolly get something bizarre from eating all those
cakes made on top of a light bulb :)
