    My children hug, too, but just like yours, they fight before and after the hug. Good to know that it is normal (esp. when my husband keep telling me again and again that’s due to something wrong with my parenting).

    Happy New Year, Penelope! Look forward to see you on the webinar.

    As I sit preparing my mind and my will for another semester of homeschooling, your blog brings refreshment and strength. I am so glad I stumbled across it. (I googled “Homeschooling. life-work balance”.) I especially love the post, “I’m a bad stay-at-home mom “. It echos many of my thoughts. Thanks for the encouragement!

    My favourite posts from the year were:
    It’s quantity time that matters, not quality time
    Kids will never tell us what’s happening at school

    The former put into words a sense I’d had that quantity leads to quality. The second post rang true and made me think about things differently.

    I am not a home-schooler. In equal measures I feel I understand why you have to be so militant and am fed-up with the sanctimonious tone to all the posts. As long as it keeps making me think I’ll keep reading, although I won’t be surprised if in 2015 there is a post entitled ‘The Answer to World Peace Lies in HomeSchooling’.

    We have three home-schooled…well two now since one is in college (sister) and the two boys remaining. As the dad (with no brothers, only sisters) I was stunned on how much they fought and continue to. But we do have moments like this, and I firmly believe they’re closer due to homeschooling. It doesn’t mean its easy, but they get closer almost because they have to learn to deal with each other. Yet having said that my sisters kids are awesome and they public school, so, there’s probably more to it than that one decision.
