A) New friends,dirty house B) Homeschooling C) Anyone in Mid TN?

[Guest guest]

Just curious what you would do. We went to meet some new friends today,

they are very nice people but their home is extremely dirty and not

just " OCD dirty " , I mean filthy. They were so happy to meet us and us

them as we are new to our town and homeschoolers and finally met some

folks we like but..... my 11yo OCD dd will not return to their home and

they don't have a running car so we can't even try to plan to meet out.

I feel awful to " dump " our new friends and don't know the proper way to

handle it, do I tell the woman the truth about my dd and OCD? or just

make excuses until she stops calling?

I am sure a similar situation had happened to some of you, how did you

handle it?

I see alot of posts regarding scholl here's my 2 cents! My dd was

always homeschooled until last year when a therapist suggested if she

had more " structure " she wouldnt have so much time to dwell on the bad

thoughts. She attended public school for 4 months and it was an

absoliute nightmare - not just because of OCD and the anxiety it caused

our dd but in general. Homeschooling is an awesome alternative, if you

want more info check out my new website homeschoolersconnection.com

C)My dd said today how neat it would be to actually have a friend with

OCD because they would understand each other. Anyone out there in

Middle Tennessee? email me @ barkstrom@...

Thanks,

Best to all of you
