Too true destinyseeker, most of us when viewing houses, have to do it at weekends, evenings or take annual leave. Weād be grateful for estate agents fitting in with our essential commitments, and certainly wouldnāt be inflexible enough to have force agents to accommodate around leisure activities such as football training sessions for a toddler.
Been skimming some older videos as I havenāt been watching them from the early days. The energy at the gender reveal for Rue had such a different energy to the recent oneā¦.the parents and kids actually seemed pleased with the result. Also Timās natural father, seems they only met around the time of that pregnancyā¦yet he was in the delivery room! In the recent gender reveal, Ella put her arm around him, and seems very at ease with himā¦yet with Timās adoptive parents (who paid for their house), she went over to them as an afterthought, no physical contact, they remained seated, and the father looked visibly embarrassed at being at such a crass party. Itās interesting how the dynamic must be between Tim and his adoptive parentsā¦it looks to me that he has little common ground with them and uses them as cash cows. Leaving them sat down, ignored, watching while he jokes around with his natural father surely be very hurtful, even if they had no objection to them making contactā¦some of this stuff with his natural father being put on YouTube or being played out under their noses seems really off.
The one where the kids have watched the Meghan markle Interview was also interesting. As parents who home educate, something VERY BASIC when dealing with source information, whether that is political, historical, about race, about crime etc, is to look at the accuracy of the source. How much of it is open to interpretation, how much of it is one personās word only, or one personās perspective only, how much of it can be verified easily from other sources, was there information missing, do they think the interviewer was biased to either believe or disbelieve their subject from the start, did the interviewer do enough to try to verify the claims made, were there obvious questions the interviewer didnāt ask, when the interview subject talked about decisions they had made do the kids agree they made the right decisions. Critical thinking is an essential skill when learning from a sourceā¦not sure their kids do any of this. The default position was to believe word for word everything they heard in the interview, and not to show any concern for the fact that of all the claims an accusatory stuffā¦.they had not heard anything from the perspective of the other people involved. This maybe follows on from how Tim and Ella teach them generallyā¦that if mummy and daddy tell the kids something, or show them something educationalā¦it is taken at face value. This is probably why the kids donāt even know that they are educationally well behind their peersā¦because their parents tell them the opposite and their is no spark lit within these kids to question it, to ask how their parents know this, how they are being tested, how their parents are able to compare them to other children of the same age etc.
