Re: Been Thinking

I've been thinking a lot about my attitude and the way that I have
addressed many of the members here on the list and for what it is
worth to anyone, I apologize. I can see that I have been taking on my
mom's bitchy ways and I really don't want to be like that, especially
on a list that has helped me so much. It is not easy to come on here
and put this out to all of you but I feel for me to better myself it
is a chance I'll have to take.
Sandra, I apologize to you the most. I admire you and understand now
why it is you speak the way you do. I've learned a lot from you and I
thank-you for sharing all that you know just to help others.
Tim, I was tacky with what I said to you. I apologize. I was taking
my horrible experience with mom out on you. It should be her that I
spoke up to not you. I apologize.
Barb, You were right, I was tacky sad to say. Thank-you for making me
take a good look at myself.
Glena, sorry I stuck my nose into situations that had nothing to do
with me and putting you down.
I can't remember everyone that I spoke to or stuck my 2 cents in when
it was not wanted. I apologize to all of you also. Unschooling has
caused me to change with our son and now I guess it is causing me to
see that I need to change also. Something mom has not shown me but
this list has. Thanks

I'm new to the group and haven't noticed any of your postings, but it takes
courage to write an e-mail like this and I think it's wonderful that you
took the time!

I don't being cranky and defensive is just part of dealing with things which

feel raw about it.
The answer isn't to stop discussing those issues, though, I don't think, but
to realize that moving toward giving our kids what we didn't have is going to
stir up old stuff.
Kim, I'm looking forward to opportunities to work along with you and others
here to help people who maybe haven't even found this list yet, and those who
are here but haven't asked any questions yet.
[and just for general information, my computer is having a serious problem,

Thanks for this. :-)
I'm sorry to hear about your childhood. Sounds like a really hard
situation your in. Don'tcha just wish you could just move away. Doesn't
sound as if you have that choice. :-(

Actually we are moving out of state as we speak. We will be
completely
moved and gone by the end of this month so things are starting to
change, on my part at least. Mom, is another story!

Kim,
That is good news. Distance does help and I really didn't have $$ for
too many phone calls either. Both my dh and I have family living far far
away. LOL! Are you the ones moving to NH? I have a hard time remembering,
sorry.
signature files. This one is my favorite quote. It's my standard quote. I
was glad to see the completed quote posted on Unschooling Cafe after someone
had picked up the shortened version.
Now the tips are another story. I have to clear folders out
occasionally. I hate to do it but I'm not into web pages and the like. I
really like Kellys' idea of printing it out but I've done that before with
another list and then don't read it again either. So clearing out works for
this slow old Mac. Good luck.

This is what I started doing. I print out so much that dh is going in
a tail spin because we are supposed to be packing and I keep printing
things out and hanging them all around the house!
Thanks again for all your wonderful quotes.
