that’s not even taking into account the social aspect deficit of home schooled kids

What about the social aspect deficit boys that go to a high school with no girls get stuck with?

They included him in their TCM remembers video. Feels like this year we lost more big names than we normally do.

Agree!

Dan Fouts had John Jefferson, Charlie Joiner & Kellen Winslow.

Bradshaw had Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, Franco Harris.

Aikman had Michael Irvin, Alvin Harper, Jay Novacek, Emmitt Smith, Darrell Johnston, Mark Tuinei, Nate Newton, Mark Stepnoski, Erik Williams, and eventually Larry Allen.

My mom went through this with my SIL. Part of it was the "helpful advice' my mom gave my SIL about everything. My brother told me my SIL said my mom old her "better" ways to do nearly everything around the house. She felt like my mom thought she was stupid and couldn't do anything right.

That was a bigger problem than my mom, my dad and I knew, but it wasn't what caused the three year period when my parents didn't get to see their three grandchildren.

Long before my SIL ever met my brother, I had another brother who was killed in a car wreck when he was 17. I was a freshman in high school. The brother who's wife didn't get along with my mom was at LSU slaying sorority girls. There's not much worse that can happen to parents than losing a child, and it really changed my parents. We lived in Kosciusko, MS back then, but they buried my brother in a family plot they had in Bastrop, LA. Kosciusko was where we grew up. We'd been there since I was in the 4th grade and the brother that died was in sixth. I had to retake Algebra that summer, and was away at All Saints Episcopal School in Vicksburg.

While I was off at school, my parents started looking at moving back to the Bastrop area. My mom grew up there and my dad grew up across the border in Crossett, AR. Both had lots of family in North Louisiana. My dad worked in the Woodlands division of IP and my mom taught school. I got a letter they were in Monroe looking at towns in NELA. Then I got one saying we were moving to Farmerville. When they came to get me from All Saints, I didn't go home to Kosciusko, I went to Farmerville.

Moving wasn't the only thing that changed a few years later when I went off to LSU my parents decided they didn't like some of the changes the Methodist Church was making. They started going to an Assembly of God church with some friends who had left the Methodist Church. A couple of years later they moved to Ruston and were going to a tiny Baptist Church in Simsboro. They became much more evangelical than they'd ever been. A lot of, or maybe most of, the toys they got the grands were Christian themed.

My brother had moved to Alaska, met his wife, a Montana girl who had a daughter from a previous marriage, they got married and had two sons together. All of the kids lived up there until they were grown. My parents becoming more evangelical became a problem when my niece asked her mom if they were all going to hell. A couple of years after it happened, my brother told me my niece followed the question with, "Grandmother said people that don't go to church go to hell."

Boom, my parents weren't invited to come visit them, and they didn't bring the kids to visit for maybe three years. My brother asked them to quit sending the kids Christian gifts too. Even though we had grown up going to the Methodist church, my brother completely quit going to church as soon as he moved away to college and never went back. It wasn't just my SIL, he didn't want them around the kids because he didn't want to have to answer those questions either.

After he and his wife decided to divorce, he started back bringing the kids to visit. All have the kids are married now. Two have their own kids. They all have great relationships with my parents.

They have spent a lot of time around my parents. My niece went to Tulane and got closer to my mom because she'd drive up and visit them. One nephew moved to Slidell four years ago. His wife and two kids come for Thanksgiving every year and come a couple more times each year. Their kids are in eighth grade and sixth. Now that my brother's kids are old enough to make their own decisions, they've chosen to let their grandparents have an influence on their kids. My mom gave them 10 Commandments for Kids, or some such when they were there at Thanksgiving this year.
