Somehow whenever I ask them if they have homework and it’s still light out, the answer is ‘no mommy’ and yet somehow 2 minutes before bed, someone panics about homework that is due tomorrow.
I don’t get it!
I have to balance between ensuring that I firmly show my disapproval with ensuring my patience in actually working with them to get it done.
Then I have to balance between letting then try and fail versus eagerly telling them how to do it.
Finally I have to balance the encouragement of them actually doing good work with the fact I’m as annoyed as heck that we are doing all this at the last minute.
Aargh.
Homework.
