Not that I've seen it, but Oprah did an episode about it and they really ripped on the mother who cared for her children... and made the mother who had 2 nannies seem OK.<BR/><BR/>Strange world, "reality" TV..Jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11796461745620939785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10221971.post-1122736124138916532005-07-30T11:08:00.000-04:002005-07-30T11:08:00.000-04:00I got the same email -- they are obviously looking...I got the same email -- they are obviously looking for more homeschool families to tear apart. I have watched a couple episodes of that show and couldn't believe the stuff they encourage! They have never been "friendly" to homeschoolers. <BR/><BR/>I left a comment on a blog a few months ago when the HS mom was unaware of the show but inviting HS'ers to sign up. After reading my comments, she removed the entry and apologized to her readers for even suggesting the show might be ok.<BR/><BR/>So, like you, we are ignoring their "offer" but reveling in our "celebrity" -- and laughing at ABC in the process. Kudos to you for recognizing the greater importance of your family!CarolynMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07082770144554330244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10221971.post-1122733964565975702005-07-30T10:32:00.000-04:002005-07-30T10:32:00.000-04:00ROFL, Dy!!Now wait a minute, just because *I* thin...ROFL, Dy!!<BR/><BR/>Now wait a minute, just because *I* think we are normal does not mean that the rest of the free world does!! :-)Laneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11060382495403279198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10221971.post-1122733265419160192005-07-30T10:21:00.000-04:002005-07-30T10:21:00.000-04:00LOL- see, at least you knew you'd be the "normal w...LOL- see, at least you knew you'd be the "normal woman". My first thought would be "Oh SURE, they want us to be the post apocalyptic freaks in a normal family!" LOL.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, we wouldn't do it, either.

Way to go!<BR/>I will admit that I watch the show- only because I find it funny and it always makes me feel so much better about my family's "quirkiness". After seeing what's out there, I can honestly say that my family is way too normal! And I like it that way!<BR/>Thanks also for your kind words this morning. It helps to know others have been through similar emotions. You are a sweetheart and I am thankful for your support- even if it is via cyberspace! ;)Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540762399778256154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10221971.post-1122645192380897242005-07-29T09:53:00.000-04:002005-07-29T09:53:00.000-04:00Oh my Gosh, Laney, I got the same email-and I am b...Oh my Gosh, Laney, I got the same email-and I am being serious!
