that's very true @everittdmickey, it means alot of different things to different people that's for sure.

In my notsohumble opinion...having a child is a twenty year obligation. If you're not willing to spend (as a mother) 24/7 from birth...gradually tapering off as it reaches puberty...you're doing it wrong..

Well thats my approach anyhow, I'm there 24/7 x unfortunately some don't feel they can make that choice.

oh yeah...homeschool
it's a win/win.
You win cause you gotta scramble like a madwoman to keep up with the kid's curiosity..which you can subtley guide. (you learn a bunchaton of stuff)
the kid wins cause it gets a FANTASTIC education..(and you keep it from getting brainwashed)
my daughter in law did that...
my grandaughter started college as a sophomore...(texas A&M)
oh..did . I mention that the admissions board was SO impressed with her that they gave here a full-ride (all tuition paid) scholarship?

Homeschool...it's a thing.

yeah it sure is.

then they shouldn't have children until they can.
