To hate how parents compete through their kids

[rubberglove]

My ds class was set an art project this week. To be done at home and to be their own work.

As usual, the completed pieces clearly done by the parents roll in.

Maybe some were done by the kids, maybe some wouldn't do it, so parents stepped in.

And maybe some parents are just arseholes, who compete through their kids.

God humans are weird...

It doesn't matter.

As long as your dc enjoyed the project and got something out of it, what the rest of them do is irrelevant. It's only a competition if you join in.

Ommmmmmmmmm shanti ommmmmmmmmmm.

you have it spot on Humans are a strange breed It is so obvious sometimes that parents do homework It doesnt help the children in the long run but these kids will be ok mummy and daddy will look after them forever because it makes them look fab parents

My eldest (now 27) got no support for her dyslexia in school and i paid for private lessons and had to do lots of work at home with her.

Because of this i picked some pieces of homework that i didn't think was as important for her to do, or that she would be to tired (in a dyslexic overworked way) to do.

I got judged by other parents throught my eldest and in primary school with my youngest (different reasons), but i was doing the right thing.

I only ever concerned myself with what i and my child was doing, though.
