HOMEWORK HELP

The homework has begun, and I already need a break. The whining, complaining and crying are fairly muted now, but it is just a preview of what is to come. I just don't know how other families manage homework. Homework instead of showers and resting. Long nights, less sleep. But now, along with my kids homework, I have my own version of homework blogging about each day they have at school.

I'm beginning to hear the grumbling of other parents in my son's class. So far, he is not complaining. But, he hasn't slept through the night since school began. Is it school or just coincidence? I do know that I am the first person he wakes up when he doesn't sleep, so I haven't slept through the night since school began.

My daughter is doing fine, but as in the past, we have to play a little detective work to find out about her homework. Long ago she learned to hide her homework. Good habits are hard to break.
