And the hell that is maths homework,
DS is in Yr 3 and we have just had a humdinger family row about his maths homework and I have stuck a note in saying that he has NO idea and that we need to go back to basics with him.
DH angry at me as I shouted and let DS go to football having said he wouldn't go if he didn't get some of his homework done. (I know we are supposed to stick together on things!)
I swore.
And I screamed that I am NOT teaching DS maths that that is the teacher's job. I will support him. I will sit with him. I will gently ask if he is sure that it is correct if I think he has got it wrong. But I WON'T sit and teach him the whole number line thingie (that I don't get anyway).
Sigh.
And we have friends coming for lunch and I have to shower, tidy up, go to shop and start cooking.
