How many of you feel like this lately...

Could this be doom related?

That is how I felt when my kids were in public school last year. I am happy they are homeschooling this year. It gives me more piece of mind I think. Don't listen to all those giving you a hard time. It was hard for me to make the transition to homeschooling. I had to weigh alot of things before making that decision. You really have to be ready mentally to take on that task. Anyway, I know what you mean, sometimes, you have to get out to get out of the house, but again, I always feel relieved to go back home.

Hard decision my ass.

I would live in a BOX and eat bark before my son set one foot in a public school.

i walk around and stuff but where the fuck should i go?

LOL I hear ya. We have a pretty good school here, but homeschooling is a better choice, at least for my boys.

So you're an "awakened hippy" that sends her kid to public school when you have the time to homeschool?

Tellin ya, brother. I`m in Aalborg and it`s fucking boring as shit. How do you danes cope with the pure, disgusting, insensitive depression that`s going on around?

music and alcohol
Where you from, why did you move to the dk?

Yes.......

The reason is that I live on a tiny fixed SS income that disappears completely every single month before the next one arrives. I've cut back on absolutely everything that I can and extremely thoughtful about every item I buy, including food.

I'm so grateful to be able to hold on to my paid for car, but my concern is that if anything went wrong while out driving I wouldn't have the funds to take care of it, or to even get myself home again.

It's pure stress to live this way and I hope no one else ever has to accept this situation. But I know that there are many, many people just like me......barely surviving.

Believe it or not, I can go for two months sometimes on one tank of gasoline .....very small tank.....because I don't go far and certainly don't take leisurely Sunday drives.

Barely surviving is NOT living by the way. It's sad for me to see so many suffering from lack of funds. I never thought I would be in this situation .... ever. Just goes to show.......you never know what's around the corner.

Not that it's any of your business, but we're cool with the school he attends, we discussed home schooling and decided as a family (my child included) that he would benefit from the structure, social interaction, and more varied extra-curriculars available in public school. In addition, we also introduce topics for discussion and learning at home that are not offered in school.

I am a housewife part time...the rest of my time is divided between helping out with my parents' 2 businesses and helping to care for my aging grandmother, so the time factor does play into it.

Thanks for your concern.

Holy crap. I thought I wrote this but I just realized, I just woke up. But wow!
My car finally died on Friday so I junked it because I didn't have 1400.00 for a timing belt and values (head gasket?). But I was like you where I didn't feel comfortable leaving my tow zone the past 2 years.
It's a horrible way to survive.

I am very frugile about spending money too. But not having a car, sucks. Hopefully in time I'll get used to it but I doubt it. I wanted to live like a minimalist but I wanted to be in control of my decisions though.

The rate things are going ...as I'm getting older...I don't see how I'll ever afford another car again.

I feel very victimized to my surroundings and I know that's an unhealthy way to live. I want to feel grateful but it's so hard right now.

Stay close to home?
Hell, I don't even want to leave home at all.

Whatever allows you to sleep at night.

Yes, but not because of doom reasons. Because everytime I leave my house, I spend lots of money..lol...it's cheaper to stay home!

Whiskey helps a lot, again..thanks for your concern

I`m from Romania

Yea, alcohol doesn`t really cut it for me, as I don`t drink and such other vices. I moved to study. The studies are free, but the true reason behind it all, as I don`t expect to have too much success with them studies, is that I`m finally away from Romania. Fuckin` piss ass country, dude.People are narrow minded there, nah mean?

Anyways, cheerios, mon frere!

:paranoia:

There are no good public schools.

If you knew the history of the public school system, who's idea it was and why it was created, you wouldn't say that.

Hard decision my ass.
