Question by lovetodrive: I am really annoyed my husband for not telling the truth to his parents.?
My mother and family are very handy people. My mom went out of her way to help us install laminate flooring and backsplash in the kitchen. she took 2 days off from work to help us do the job properly and also showed my husband how to use the cutting machine for the backsplash. I was expecting that my husband will tell his parents that he completed theses two projects with the help of my mom and that there was lot of work involved. Instead he just said it that yeah WE did all the work in 2 days and didn’t mention anything to his parents that he was able to do all this because of my mom and her assistance. His mom now thinks that he did everything.and i am not happy with this because to me this is a lie. I hate when people doesn’t give credit to those people who have went out of their way to help them. I did talk to my husband about this and that his thing was that that there is already a friction in two families so why talk about it.

I don’t know what to do. please help

Let it go. Your Mom probably doesn’t care if she gets credit for the work or not. Don’t embarass your husband by telling that your Mom showed him how to do it correctly. Let him feel and act like the “man of the house.” Now make a list of the other things you want done around the house and get him started on those projects.

Question by ASD & DYS Mum: Homeschooling parents: What are your top 5 gadgets you can’t do without when HS’ing?
I thought it would be fun to see everyone’s top 5 “gadgets” you can’t do without when homeschooling. Here’s my list:

1. large paper cutter
2. electric pencil sharpener
3. high-quality three-hole punch
4. laminator
5. comb binding machine

What are your top five?
Edited to say:

Can some of you not read??? It says “Homeschooling parents”. I did *not* ask for opinions or rants about homeschooling.
Edit for bigmamma:

A comb binder binds papers together with the plastic “combs” that are solid on the spine, but have little “curls” that wrap around the paper in little rectangular holes that the machine cuts.

It’s hard to explain, but I know you’ve seen comb-bound materials, you just may not have known the name.

I love them to make unit booklets and attach groups of worksheets. It keeps everything so nice “on the go”. I also like how you can fold the pages back on themselves. So sometimes I take the bindings off of workbooks and then comb bind them. You can also have an office supply store do it for you. I purchased mine free (and the materials) with my office supply store reward card (did the same w/ my laminator).
