I've been sharing my process openly for over 30 years now.? For me and Pam Sorooshian, chores was maybe the final frontier (not 'final" because our kids got older and triggered some of our own stuff, and that's usually unpredictable :-) ).? ?We learned from Joyce Fetteroll's sharing of HER processes about why learning about housekeeping fit in with all the principles we had been applying to other things.??
That's been shared often, in the discussions.??

I hope you will be able to stop accusing me of scolding you, and get back to the principles behind why unschooling works.
Things that lead TOWARD those principles will help a person who came with a problem more than ideas that lead away from it, or ideas that cost money or would take weeks to order, obtain and read.? Let's give good ideas that will work today and tomorrow, and in five or ten years for those who will read this later.
It's not "deciding" to do it, it's moving incrementally, step by step, choice by choice in the more unschooling direction.
