I’m proud of you for being honest about how you feel. Parenting is the most difficult thing you’ll ever do and you are entirely justified in whatever you’re feeling. Having kids is a cage, but so being in your 50’s and realizing you spent your life focusing on a career and yourself and while your peers are finding meaning and joy welcoming grandchildren into their lives you are becoming increasingly irrelevant to a professional world where you are very replaceable. Find some support. Talk to a counselor or even better find a church.
Hey I’m not saying Ross was a saint. I’m certainly not canonizing him. Yes, he went down some bad paths and did wrong. But the question remains. Who was harmed by Ross?
2 life sentences when a victim is not identifiable is, as the OP stated, so messed up.
This article is surprisingly accurate. The resources for home schooling are growing exponentially as well as the amount of "normal" people that are doing it.
We've done it since the beginning, living over an hour away from town when our youngest became school age helped make that decision initially. We belong to a homeschool group of 30 families here that meets one day a week that has about 100 students ages 1-18. They recently split the group so now there are two groups this size and both have waiting lists enough to split each again, but the only problem preventing that growth is finding available space for the new groups to meet in our rural community. The group does a wide array of classes and activities from sports to formal dances to international trips, and an annual shakespeare play, that I was skeptical of initially, but after seeing the play for 2 years I would put it up against any high school play. The entire school is run on a shoestring budget and requires significant work from the parents, primarily the mothers. Students that participate in both the homeschool group and a public school have told me that academically the home school group is much more demanding, even than their dual enrollment college courses. I like it a lot and seeing an article like this is encouraging.
Property tax does a similar thing. The nominal value of my home has almost doubled the last 3 years and the property taxes are increasing to catch up. Nominal inflated fake appreciation must be paid for by dollars earned by real work.
I love the criticism. It means we are in the "then they fight you" phase of the "first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win" pattern.
Do not challenge their criticisms because that never works, but instead try to get them to identify what could happen that could convince them to reconsider that their criticism may be incorrect. If they'll do that then you know you have someone you can have a conversation with, few will do this.
When people reach out I hope I am kind. Bitcoin is for everyone.
People that got wealth in from selling a business soon realize that the power thier millions or billions brings them is nothing compared to the power wielded by politicians proximal the money printer or the power of the inflexibility of government policy whether by incompetence or design.
A national example of this could be Vivek Ramaswamy, but where I really see this is at the state or local level where a wealthy guy that is used to being able to pay people to do just about anything runs headlong into a deadlock of local government bureaucracy that prevents him from getting something he wants and it makes him so mad he decides to run for office. Usually these guys spend a ton of money and rarely are elected.
Fiat incentives have changed universities primary purpose from preparing students for the world to extracting tuition from them.
