LOL! I don't mean they work at "manual" labor...they learn the
difference between wholesale and retail, how what you earn in an hour is
decreased by fed/local taxes, etc. The oldest one does "work" part-time,
the 12 yo helps out for a couple hours a week, and the 10yo likes to be
on my heels wherever I am!

Actually yes we do when it concerns our son, that way we both understand and
it's not just one of us relaying information back to the other. And actually
we are here to learn about unschooling and not to talk about what hubby and I
do in regard to our e-mail. Thank-you!
