The thing that doesn't appeal to me? Chickens. Birds scare me. I wouldn't want to actually be near the chickens themselves. Guess it's good that our house is in an area not zoned for livestock of any kind. That might not mean chickens, but I'm still saying it does.<br /><br />My oldest used to stay up until 10pm every night. It worked for our family. When we had baby #2, she stayed up until 9ish. Baby #3 had a 7pm bedtime. You adjust according to what works for your family. That's how it's supposed to work!NIKOLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14146113842618386230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7226571848876524054.post-69067935069290358472010-04-04T16:41:08.297-07:002010-04-04T16:41:08.297-07:00I agree...if we tried to do everything all the OTH...I agree...if we tried to do everything all the OTHER mom's are doing then our heads would be spinning around in circles all day. <br /><br /> Your bed time does not seem late to me at all;) Carter does usually pass out around 10:00 or 10:30 because we let him hang out with us until he is ready...one pro...no bedtime fights that people seem to have. Another pro...sleeping in...nice! I decided we have a good 2 years left to have such a fantastic(for us) schedule and then it is time to conform. <br /><br />I liked this post! The reasons why people choose to do things is an interesting subject.*LaUrA*https://www.blogger.com/profile/11418991115122417259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7226571848876524054.post-5400826822478622312010-04-01T23:41:29.823-07:002010-04-01T23:41:29.823-07:00We are a late to bed family.

Plus, as a woman, I tend to get a little resentful about all the work I have to do, but when you sleep in all the time, it feels like you're on vacation, so how can you feel resentful.<br />We decided on homeschooling for several reasons, but one was so the kids could have more time with Dad. I do feel a little like a freak for having such a late bedtime, and sometimes I even consider getting more normal, but then logic takes over, and we keep our bedtime where we want it.Lucindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01834799557675879450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7226571848876524054.post-63993808900434507542010-04-01T16:47:41.861-07:002010-04-01T16:47:41.861-07:00Hello,

Not so much for the money aspect, but for the self reliance aspect. For some reason lately, that has been weighing more heavily on my mind. I am a bit more gung ho about gardening than I ever have been before and I'm learning how to can. <br /><br />Going along with that I really like the idea that I don't have to rely on stores to supply us with food.Rachel Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14426183215612921121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7226571848876524054.post-42335279598446190782010-03-29T05:24:00.113-07:002010-03-29T05:24:00.113-07:00No chickens for this household anytime soon!

I am thinking lately to add the chickens that I am raising. As for that keeping to the limit of 6 for urban chickens, probably that’s just reasonable.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520654564239171752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7226571848876524054.post-28925440712495532032010-03-28T22:18:42.113-07:002010-03-28T22:18:42.113-07:00Good read!

Yes I admit that you are right about that as a little counterculture.

1st- I...Okay I'ge got a few thoughts on this. <br />1st- I don't think there is anything wrong with your schedual. I've done it forever with our kids so that they could get maximum time with daddy! Until Ethan started 1st grade and has to wake up early now, we always did things the same way you do and loved it. It makes me sad now because with the kids bed time and the time Brett gets home from work, they only get to see each other for 2 hours during the day. That's awful.<br />2nd- I don't mind chickens, but at a gardening class I recently took part in at the University of Idaho, they said something about how raising chickens for your own eggs is actually more expensive than simply just buying eggs, but that is satisfying or something to that effect. Um, right. I'll save myself the trouble and expense and just buy my eggs, haha.<br />3rd- I haven't read that book, but I haven't used a crib since Lauren was a very small baby. I was glad to read I'm not the only freak who hates them.Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08981998303903387543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7226571848876524054.post-79382461290989989612010-03-25T18:39:55.111-07:002010-03-25T18:39:55.111-07:00Good for you for doing what works for you, and for...Good for you for doing what works for you, and for doing it happily. :) I would love to have chickens... I think the idea of fresh eggs sounds awesome. I live in the woods though, and my friend that has chickens is constantly having to worry about snakes and raccoons eating her chickens... which makes the entire thing seem a little counter productive.Jenny P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16632739365854048008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7226571848876524054.post-45523762606913074952010-03-25T18:35:35.981-07:002010-03-25T18:35:35.981-07:00You play board games too?

I hope not, but that's just what I've been told.<br /><br />I don't think a late bedtime is odd at all. I'm not sure if I have a specific example of how I do things against the grain, but my mom calls me "a relaxed parent." I'm not sure exactly what that means, but probably in part that I let my son do more than other people would.happyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00295428255984745522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7226571848876524054.post-51241299491322319512010-03-25T17:36:50.101-07:002010-03-25T17:36:50.101-07:00I don't think that Charlie's schedule is c...I don't think that Charlie's schedule is crazy at all.Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02328508686368847441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7226571848876524054.post-56916159342001543392010-03-25T17:36:48.810-07:002010-03-25T17:36:48.810-07:00i thought about getting some chickens. until i ra...i thought about getting some chickens. until i ran the costs and figured that was WAY too expensive just for some eggs. but i do like the idea of doing things in an unconventional way. and i like that you have found a way to spend more time with your child as a family. nothing wrong with that!! :)jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585774854581037963noreply@blogger.com
