Where does your granddaughter live?

I just talked to our family physician today and he had an office full of sick elementary and middle school kids. I asked him if his kids were sick too, he said no. And that he is home schooling his children.

This is in a town with great public schools and none of the liberal baggage. I told him I applauded his actions.

My grandson is almost 2, and sharp as a whip. My daughter and here husband are both rockrib Republicans (conservative type). I think they can counter the propaganda. My daughter is much more conservative than her husband but he is certainly no leftie.

We are in Tampa, FL. It's not entirely the fault of the public school system. Her Mom is really strange. If this were the 60’s she would be a hippie. In 2009 she's just one strange bird. When her daughter was four-years-old DIL decided she was really a guy, not a girl. It was downhill from there. I swear she works 18 hours a day to be as unattractive as possible. She works for a very liberal child advocacy group here in town and she is surrounded by single moms who wear their weirdness as a badge of courage. I'll go by there to pick up my granddaughter and you can just feel the ‘tolerance’ when I walk in. Brrr...

But, I must also add that DIL has made a point of never bad-mouthing Cassie's dad or keeping him from being a part of her life. So she's not all bad, not at all. But she sure makes me uncomfortable. I'm working on it, but I have a ways to go.
