how much/little are your dc 's doing?
dd is year 11 with exams in a couple of weeks and i cant get her to do any revision. she spends half the day in bed and then hours washing/drying/straightening her hair then wonders downstairs aimlessly and does 'stuff' all for the rest of the day. have tried bribing her and cajoling her and getting angry and sarcastic and nothing works!! she has a future plan ie knows what she wants to do at uni and a career, so she knows these exams are vital (even the mocks) so why wont she revise? i feel bad if i dont at least try to get her to do some work. i get letters from school saying she has not handed various courseworks in, which she makes excuses for and shrugs off. i would have been mortified if my school had sent a letter home about me not handing work in!
