So I guess when DH went to Samsclub on Saturday with his mom and brother and bil's girlfriend, His mother had to tell him how she felt.

He told me today that she said that "I think Alyssa needs more child interaction and I would not live with myself if I did not say something on her behalf". Justin shot her down and said She had better never say something like that again.

First off, Why does my husbands family feel so sorry for a 3 year old!??! She is not even of school age. And if I WERE to put her in public school she would NOT be going to preschool to begin with! I refuse to pay for it and we make to much for head start. So it is annoyingly funny how concerned they are over her socialization when there is nothing that would be different if she was going to public school!

Cant anyone see that she is only 3!!! She sees her cousins, my cousins, my friends children and church friends. She is in a class once a week with other kids, sees her cousins once a week if not more. And sees my friends kids more than once a month. What more do you want from a 3 year old!??!

Oh and she also told him she thinks I will do great homeschooling Alyssa but Tristan is going to be another story. Justin told her he better not hear that again that she is our family and should be our support not cutting me down. He is 1 1/2!! How in the world do they know how he will be in school???

Actually for the record I think Tristan is going to be easier. The kid adores books. Alyssa did not want us to read to her until she was 2. Tristan has since he was only months old.

He also likes to color already, never did that with Alyssa. He builds blocks, does shape sorters and has much much much more patience then she does. Alyssa might be brighter in words and stuff but the kid is going to excel in other ways. His patience for things and detail is great!

I think I have two totally different kids with strenghts and weaknesses on my hands.

I am just glad Justin and I got a chance to talk though. So her comments did do some good. Makes us open the table to what we feel and where he stands. He is always letting me have control and doing what I want. Sometimes it is nice to be reassured he is in my corner.

2 1/2 weeks and she turns 4... guess that means I can't use the SHE IS 3 for goodness sakes arguement. But I don't need any excuse. It is OUR family.
