DD year 7 and her homework. She doesn't want help from me in organising her self, she is full of reasons why she can't do it at X, Y and Z. I am all out of carrot ways of getting her to do it, I have exhausted pocket money, phones etc as punishments - she just doesn't care. I won't restrict her after school clubs as they have been responsible for a massive increase in her self esteem.
She does care what her teachers and friends think, currently teachers seem to let her get away with it, but would I be unreasonable to ask them to get tough?
I get very frustrated with it for several reasons firstly I am doing a post graduate certificate so I have my own homework to complete each week and secondly I was at boarding school at her age and you just cracked on with the homework as whinging and whining never got you any where.
When she does crack on with it she does a good job, just she whinges and whines for about 40 mins and then takes 20mins to do the actual homework,
