Hello! New and Needing help! :D (Mother/Daughter sorority)

[DubaiSis]

All of this is very much contingent on why she has chosen to home school her kids. There are quite a few valid reasons - remote location, lousy local public school system and can't afford private, very transient lifestyle, unusually bright kid who you want to keep on target. And then there's the so religious that you can't possibly put your children in satan's mighty grip by having them be in public and god forbid meet any of satan's followers, i.e. the rest of the world. I've known kids in a couple of these scenarios. Some survived and some, god help them, they're ruined for life.

If I were to hazard a guess, this situation is the latter, and she thought she'd start a sorority of 2 to appease the daughter who's starting to get itchy about this lifestyle. And if I'm right, no suggestions of Girl Scouts, Rainbow Girls, Camp Fire Girls, Indian Guides (are they still around?), club sports, camp, are all a waste of breath.

Yes, but that's the father-son group. The father-daughter group is Indian Princesses, at least around here.

I was an Indian Princess many many moons ago! I think my indian name was Leaping Fox. I have no idea if they still do that, but it is a little non-PC. I loved getting my feathers, though.

BTW, this stopped being about direct communitcation with the mom a LONNNNNG time ago.
