We just pulled our 12 yo girl out of school and its made a wonderful difference. Less worried about the teen years than I was.

Its more her body than mine (or others) is what I meant but interetsing perspective vort.

My husband is against it - our daughter is 12. I thought because I had ears pierced at 8 she would too, She is not worried either way though the grandmothers and auntes like it. I think it matter very little what I or they want, its her body.

At birth I will find out. Maybe a month away for me. I don't do scans so I am very happy to wait.

I am modest and shy too but anyway I guess its a bigger issue than what people want to explore.

Love that. It seems all too often we are 'guilted' or coerced to do things that often go against our free will to choose and make our decisions. Even in the Church.

IN a natural learning style yes we are. My 2 eldest are still at school but my 5 and 2 year old are at home.

I have used cloth on my 1st - didn't last long. Discovered modern cloth and dry pailing and it was much easier with my third and forth children. Due with 5th and we will use cloth again. Its easy and much cheaper. I haven't found it difficult, its actually nicer not to buy disposables and fill up the rubbish so quickly like we used to (and our wheely bins are much smaller now with the trend in recycling - a friend complains about her bin being too small as she has 2 in nappies.). Its much cheaper now as I only have to buy the occasional replacement. I also knit/crochet covers which saves money.

I think breastfeeding is wonderful. All people should witness for what it is. Not showing off or anything like that but feeding and/or comforting a child. I have always fed my children when they needed and support other women to do so as its their child's right. I don't attend church often now but I refuse to go in the smelly Mothers room to feed (disposable nappies/diapers in a closed space. ). Where are fathers meant to change nappies btw? This actually annoys me that we can go almost anywhere and find a Parents or Family room but our ward just recently built a mothers room?!

We are looking at radical unschooling our four children. I am still reading and watching great youtube videos on other unschooling families.

Our eldest kids are at school which is not such a bad school. They enjoy school but I can see there are far more opportunities to learn in the every day. I believe I am unschooling them when they are not at school and all of my children are natural learners. Hopefully one day soon our lifestyle will accomodate homeschooling in our family. I want the very best for my kids, only I can provide that with my husband. We care about their welfare more than anyone else. I want them to take the responsibility for themselves also ie. they can make the most of the learning and pave their own path.

Trust in yourself! It is about taking responsibility. That was the big thing. Realising I didn't have to hand it over. I never thought something would go wrong but we did have ambulance cover. Do your research!

I am not a religion! but I was baptised LDS.

Hey everyone. I had my forth child 6 weeks ago. My son was born under water into my hands at home. It was beautiful. Normal natural and perfect.

Thanks. Hopefully wont need it!
