Everyone on this list seems to understand everyone elses reasons not to put
the kids into Public School, so I need some help. My husband and I are not
getting along. (For about 5 years now) and I want to get out of the
marriage. I took me a long time to come to this conclusion because I really
believe that kids need a daddy too. But I think they would be better off
without one in this case. Anyhow, I am really worried about their
education should I actually make the leap. I homeschooled Lili for
Preschool this year and loved it. She also did very well and does not like
going to school. (We tried it for a while)
I do not want her to go into a public school and a private school is also
something I dont want and could not afford anyway. If I leave him I will
have zero support from my family and I will have to work full time to
support my two kids. Does anyone know any stay at home work opportunities
that could actually support two kids? Any help or suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.

Oh, Holly what a tough situation! I just can't imagine trying to
support a family by myself (though on occasion, I guess like most
folks, I've tried...) We work from home as accountants, but that
involves visiting clients, not practical with kids in tow. I'm
contemplating a nappy laundry and delivery business, but that
would mean a lot of time in the car and doing laundry for the kids,
if my mum didn't live down the road and dh work 'odd' hours. I
don't know where your expertise lies, but I know folk who are
writing or running web-businesses from home. Apart from that, I
don't know what to say, except that whatever happens, it'll work
out.

That does seem a horrible situation for you...When I had kids I took
everything that I knew how to do and made it into a business. My suggestion,
if you are up for one, is to get something started before you leave so that
you can continue to do the other things that are important in your life, such
as your unschooling. Make a list of all the things you are good at and have
experience at and love doing and find something that you can apply that too.
Hope this is helpful.

Is anyone here a practicing Catholic, or know of some resources
for Catholic unschoolers? In addition to taking my son out
of school, it looks like he will be unable to return to his
religious education class. Long story. I definitely believe in
philosophy of child led learning, but I also want to raise
my child in my faith. That seems to be a pretty daunting task
at the moment with no family help, no religious ed help, and
a child with a very skeptical mind.

I'm so sorry to hear about your marriage falling apart. It's so difficult to balance your needs with your children's needs, isn't it? I don't know if these sites will help you out at all, but maybe you can find some leads at www.apbiz.com or www.wahm.com. Wish I could help more!

let you know there's an email list for working and homeschooling and the
folks there can probably give you some good ideas. There are lots of single
moms on the list. Here's the URL:

Debra,
Was it easy to get started? Does e-bay send you a check for what you have
sold or does your money come straight to you? This sounds very interesting
to me.

Good morning Holly!
The money comes straight to you.The buyer pays shipping .If I can do it
anyone can.It took a little bit to get used to it,but I learned fast.
Anyone can do it!
I use Auction watch to list my items,which makes it 100 percent
easier,and its free.I accept checks,money orders,paypal and
billpoint.Paypal is a free service which allows you to get money in an
instant from anyone with a credit card.I love that service.After the
auction ends you email each person who one an auction of yours,tell
them the amount,item number,etc.. and when they get back to you they
tell you usually how they will pay,give their name and address.
When payment arrives if it is a money order or cash,or paypal the item
goes out within 2 days.If it is paid by check,you have the option of
holding it for as long as your bank takes to clear it.
Than you ship to each person.Since I have gotten so busy,I now only ship
on Tuesdays and Fridays.I was going to the post office every day at one
point.
What I do to keep track of my bidders that win,is use colored index
cards where I write all their info down.Item numbers,price
,shipping,etc..Than I keep all my cards in a file box after I am done
with the transaction.If you have any more questions,feel free to write.
hope this helps some...Have a super day!Debra :)
It costs .25 to list each item on ebay,ebay gets I think 3 percent or 5
percent on any item sold,which is not hardly anything at all.You can pay
differently.At the end of each month ebay charges my credit card for the
amount.There are different ways to do that I think.deb

Renee, I'm not a practising Catholic (nor really a practising
anything!) but I think as long as you live your life according to
your beliefs and share those beliefs with him, he will learn what
Catholicism is all about. The only problem I can see would be
finding the classes required for Confirmation, though if you're
raising him with choices, then he can make the choice to find
classes when and if he's ready.
I hope this helps.
