person sneaking into my room asking WHY I forgot the linen spray, that their
pillow doesn't "smell" like mommy's been there.
I don't do it because I personally like it, I wouldn't bother at all. >>
You contradicted yourself. Either you do those things because you really
want to, or you "don't do it because you personally like it."
I don't think you're sure why you do it.
If you like doing it, then by all means keep on doing it. It has nothing to
do with unschooling, though, so it you just want to document your life in all
its contradictory glory, please don't fill this list up with it.

pillow to smell nice, I do it simply because she enjoys it and because it's
an easy thing to do for her.
I don't lay in her bed, I don't sniff her pillow, it doesn't benefit me that
it smells nice in any way other than she likes for me to do it for her.
Once again I am not seeing how it is contradictory, to say her pillow
smelling nice isn't to please me, but because she likes it.
If you want to tell me exactly how it is contradictory to say personally the
scent of her pillow affects me in no way except that she likes it, I am
listening, willing to try to learn from your post.

But, it's okay to do stuff to generate good will; it's just something to be
aware of and honest with yourself about. The reason being that there are
other things that can come up and it will be helpful for you to ask
yourself the questions and see yourself and your motives (no bad
connotation here, everyone has motives, you eat because you're motivated to
live) and make choices based on that *understanding* of yourself.
I hope that sheds a little light.

No, Glena.
I don't want to tell you exactly again and again what I've already been
trying to say
and I don't want you to tell me exactly again and again (nor EVER again) how
you don't understand.

Oh my. You know, I think the best we can do for you is not say a damn word.
Why should anyone tell you exactly anything? It doesn't help you to
understand, doesn't prevent you from repeating yourself, yet again, and then
you start picking away at things that have nothing, and I mean NOTHING to do
with unschooling.
You can beat a dead horse, but sooner or later it won't even look like a
horse so you forget why the hell you are there in the first place.

I'm beginning to think the same thing. I think someone needs a lot
of attention, and enjoys stirring things up on a list with over a
thousand people so that everyone can read hundreds of posts all about
what a good mother she thinks she is and how no one understands her.
I'd feeling so naseated at this point.

Have a Nice Day!
I agree.
Glena,
I think what you are doing is just digging yourself in deeper with each attempt at explaining yourself. You do not need to explain every detail of everything. We do get it. You need to stop posting and just listen.
