I absolutely HATE to clean the bathroom. Mine and Jay’s bathroom to be exact. We both try to out wait the other. I’m the one who usually caves. Ick.

Penny, yes, I have had such an experience before. But fortunately I have very proud children with a lot of confidence. When asked why they don’t believe in God, and if they don’t want to go to heaven, my children simply reply, that for that there would have to be a heaven first.
My daughter especially is a declared atheist. She does not hesitate to say exactly what she thinks, all in a respectful way, of course. My experience is that once my children answer a couple of questions, they’re usually left alone. I might get a look or two… but I just smile my friendliest smile, which is usually enough to ward off anymore questions or such.

Hey, thanks for stopping by.

Wow, another atheist homeschooler?!!! I thought I was the only one! Well, not quite I guess. I do know of a few others. So I have a question for you, if you don’t mind? Have you ever been in a situation where a Christian innocently drops God into the conversation, and your young child answers in a big, loud voice “I don’t believe in God, actually!” Then they think they misheard, so your child repeats the exact same thing, leaving them looking as if they’ve been hit in the stomach by a brick! Do you have a method for adressing this?

Freckles, think you can get your husband and kids to come hang out at my place for a few days? Or better yet, have them convince MY husband and kids to do some cleaning up??

I SO understand the motivation behind putting your chores in writing. Keeps you accountable. I am a compulsive list-maker. There is something very satisfying about crossing a chore off of a list…

Zettel sind mein Grab, ehrlich gesagt. Dabei entstehen dann so viele, dass ich nicht mehr ein noch aus weiss. Ich bewundere immer die Leute, die damit so viel Erfolg haben. Ich bin zu sehr Chaot, um auch nur eine Aufgabe damit zu erledigen.
