I am sending this twice to make sure you receive it. You answered the first email with the names in it so I can't imagine why you are saying that I haven't sent them. Chef B+B and Chef Nicholas.

Thanks

Well, Paul is in the military so he isn't even home much. It makes it rather difficult sometimes because I do things so differently when he isn't home that sometimes...dare I say it...I think it would be easier to be a single parent!

Husbands. Hmmph. My husband occasionally wants our daughter to do more schooly stuff but it's then that I remind him that he flat out refused to read some of the unschooling books I've brought home saying, "I trust you." You don't need to appease him if the cost is sabotaging your unschooling, you need to insist he educate himself. In my opinion anyway. :) his attitudes could undermine what you're attempting to unschool so why cater to them? Granted he has his say but if he's not bothering to educate himself as much as you are, does it carry the same weight? I'm assuming he hasn't so my apologies if he has.
As for your daughter, if she wants more structure, why not? you're still following her lead and wishes. It may be something she needs. Structure doesn't have to mean buying a curriculum but maybe more worksheets or a set time to sit down and do things?
