Saw this phrase again in the latest Raising Olives post: "training daughters to be joyful keepers at home".

I really, really miss the old Raising Olives posts that were fun stories about the kids, reviews of lots of different homeschool curricula, and craft ideas. Now it is all "ministry", all the time.

Totally agreed. I liked the old Raising Olives. By the way, did you see the schedule she posted the other day from when her children were really little? She had a 14 month old "babysitting" a newborn.

I hadn't seen that! She also had the 3-year-old "babysitting" for half an hour! Hard to believe...

You can't trust a 3 year old to "babysit"!

I remember when my oldest was 4 and my youngest was a newborn, I had put the newest down for a nap and jumped into the shower (it had been a few days, and I really needed one). I THOUGHT the oldest was watching TV and was fully occupied. But when I got out of the shower, I heard a lot of noise coming from the baby's room. It turns out my oldest daughter had gotten into the crib with the baby, and was trying to pass her over the top of the crib to the middle child who was 2.5 years old. "But Mom, she was crying" is the reason they gave me for doing this. Apparently they were going to carry her down the hall to my room for me. After that, for the baby's safety, she was locked in her room so her sisters couldn't love her to death.

My stepmother had a friend that allowed my stepmother's three-year-old to "babysit" her one-year-old while the friend (who was supposed to be watching both children) ran to the store or some nonesense. Needless to say my stepmother never had that friend watch her kids again.

      Planning on scheduling my ankle surgery around Trump's Georgia trial - if I'm forced to be off my feet, I might as well be entertained.

      Stupid loneliness!
      Kid 1 went back to college (yeah! But sad foe me, she stayed with me all summer. It was nice to start a new phase in our mother/daughter relationship)
      Zero prospects on dates. (Not that I have tried online dating, scared of that but I have reached put to a new group at church, etc.
      I asked a friend to go to dinner the other night so I wasn't eating alone, again. The friend had plans, all my friends always have plans. I see stuff on social media, I'm never invited. I'm single, I'm the 3rd or 5th wheel.
      My one parent friend at kid 2's fall sport won't be there because their daughter made varsity (Yeah for her!!! Seriously happy for her. Sad for me for another sport I basically sit alone, did that majority of spring and summer sporting events.)
      And now I'm crying as my mom told me 2 different funny stores that former teachers remembered about my twin. Both stories were about how they got a crack out of my twin's antics (my parents went to a funeral today and saw former colleagues). Teachers remember me (after all I was a twin and teachers' kid) but none would have memorable stories of me. 
      I feel invisible. 
      Don't worry, this will pass,  it always does. I just need a pity party for a few days. I'm not in anyway going to harm myself. As lonely as I am, I have a very full life I (usually) love. I just needed to vent and cry for a moment. 
      If you are still reading this, thanks Fjer. 😊

      Absolutely awful about the fires on Maui. In 2019, I stayed in Lahaina. I liked to sit on the sea wall, which is the only structure left now, and watch the water. People are receiving help, but many had to leave pets. Please donate to the Maui Humane Society, which is leading efforts to find, treat, and reunite pets.

      Nebraska’s new football coach, who is involved in an organization called Man Up Ministries, labels certain players “Alphas” and sometimes “extreme Alphas” and the local paper has a nice piece on why people objecting to the term “alpha male” are wrong and it has a “nice ring”. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
