I agree! My hubs is a body tech.. fixes wrecked cars.. he trained two of my boys and they are both successful! One of them even makes more money than hubs :eek:.... hubs is one of the best in the biz! It’s hard to find good body men....
It really is. You should be very proud. It is actually an art.
 
I have to state I'm not a fan of home schooling. In this day and age not many parents have the knowledge, or education to teach many of the sciences and technical subjects.
There is also the matter of teaching kids to socialise.
My kids were very well socialized...they still participated in band & played sports! There are online programs that can be utilized with all the support you need!
 
Not a lot of room on that box Bob. I'm on it a lot.:D
It's one of the things my parents got terribly wrong. Not everyone is suited to university. When I was of that age, it was what middle classes aspired to. I wanted to learn a trade but got directed to university. I didn't learn much of any use and left thinking that the clever people didn't go to uni.:confused:
That is so true. I'm sorry that was how you got started in life. It had to be frustrating.
 
Treacle and Cillin have been fighting again.:(
Tbh, I'm not sure what I should do about it. The flash point is food. Cillin won't let Treacle eat with him or the hens. This evening I made a point of blocking Cillins attacks and fed Treacle by hand where Cillin could see. I'm trying to make the point that at supper time when I give them 'treat' food I decide who eats with who.
After two attempts to flog his way through my legs Cillin it seems got the message.
While not exactly friendy when they headed off to roost, Cillin didn't object when Treacle went ahead with Tap and Moon.
Cillin knows Treacle comes to see me and spends quite a bit of his day close to or in my house.
There is no trouble in the coop, not when they shelter under the bushes. It's just when it comes to food.

What more important control point than food? If he is going to exert dominance wouldn't that be the place with most impact?

It is one of the puzzling things about Aurora's behavior. She will eat with Phyllis, Sydney and Sansa. Does it all the time. Why is roosting the thing she is trying to withhold from them? It means something and I am frustrated that I cannot figure out what.

It seems a funny thing to complain about; my parents wanted me to go to university.:D
It is but it wasn't for you. Mine wanted me to go to trade school but that wasn't for me, university was. I am the first in my family to ever graduate and I did it on my own with no help. I worked my way through.

At today's prices my children could never do that.
 
Someone pays for it...it's not truly free...would be awesome if it was! I think ribh's degree sounds amazing & she has gained so much knowledge from it, it seems that it has served her well!
What do you have a PhD in...if you don't mind me asking! 💞
I studied an emerging technology called a brain-computer interface to see whether it disrupts privacy (a bit of a no-brainer but I produced evidence for it from quantitative data) and how it disrupts privacy (a much more complex question because privacy is a social construct that varies from person to person and from context to context, so the answer was of course complex and multi-faceted and I drew it from qualitative data).
