I'm the dad, and kinda found my stride as this little experiment progressed. I bided my tongue for a long time, but was seeing too much for comfort - and in that last year, pointed these things out. Turns out I was confirming what the other side thought, but she thought she was making me happy by doing it. It was a little like that short story "The Gift of the Magi" - where each gave a gift the other one could no longer use.

Oh man, before you ever run this sorta "race" (listen up people!), you better be ready, and whatever you do, never call it an experiment! Them's babies you're mess'n with!

Does the CEO of a successful corporation "bide his tongue" while his managers perform experiments with corporate capital?! (you can exclude Enron on that one), Did George Patton "bide his tongue" as he led his troops in Europe? Heck no! He led them fearlessly into successful battles! So goes the homeschooling "General"!

Next time, if there is one, strap on the pearl handled revolvers and lead the way!
