I assume you don't mean to be rude... the gist of Phil's comments has to do with Elaine Pagels, who does enjoy a robust reputation, despite her evident dishonesty.
I caution you to be more thoughtful in your mode of commenting. We don't allow aggressive comments here.
I know you think you are making a distinction between aggression towards the NYTimes and towards us, but I assure you it's not coming through in your tone.
Your comment about the early years of homeschooling in a small town pre-internet made me curious - what did your kids do for the dreaded “socialization?” 😉 My handful of kids are young and we are homeschooling. We’ve tried a few activities here and there but my introverts haven’t loved anything enough for us to allocate our tight budget or sacrifice naps for the younger two (toddler and infant). I carry some guilt about this and love to hear advice from more experienced moms about balancing big-kid activities with homeschooling, family life, and little ones.
This podcast made me laugh so much. I feel a lot better about accidentally leaving my son behind somewhere - at least I am not alone! I also sympathize about the old house crookedness. We put up wall of bookshelves and it looks so crooked because the floor and the ceiling both meet the walls at drastically different, decidedly not-right angles.
I would love to hear your thoughts on choosing a college for children who want to pursue a career that requires it. The more faithful Catholic colleges are so expensive and don't seem to give enormous amounts of financial aid, which will probably make them not a viable option for our children.

You intend to be rude to Phil and me?
That's odd to say the least.

We aim to keep things cordial and respectful.

I, too, have this question and would love to hear your answers, Leila and Phil!
Such a fun podcast; thank you!
