‘They asked me how I could be happy being adopted when I had real siblings?’: Adoptee meets biological siblings, gets criticized for not regretting being adopted

Homeschool mom asks niece to teach illiterate 9-year-old daughter who can’t add single digit numbers: ‘I don’t think 4 hours once a week is enough at all’

One of the biggest arguments coming from the pro-homeschooling camp is that kids shouldn’t have to sit and be quiet for 7 hours a day. It is a little insane that we ask 6 and 7-year-olds to conform to a schedule that mirrors that of a full-time job. While it’s highly demanding in concept, it’s …

You know those parents who still act like children themselves, and then end up setting a terrible example to their kids?
