9 hours later and DH has still not helped DS with maths homework

I am having to stop myself from punching him in the face and screaming in rage. I said at 10am this morning that he needed help and it had to be done today. Why should I have nag until it's done? It's exhausting. Why can't he get a grip and just organise himself to help him? Now it's late and DS is tired. Why is it so hard and difficult for him to get a grip?!? DS is now on his X-Box. I fucking give up.

Is it more a case of something else you have asked DH to do, that he hasn't done?

Still can't understand why primary school children have homework.Poor sods.Never happened in my or my kids day. < old gimmer me >

Mine are y2 and y3 so younger but I don't help with homework... I tell them to do it and they call me if they have a problem (rare). I check it before it goes back in the bag and tell them if there are mistakes and help them figure out where they went wrong (only happens with dds maths homework tbh)

I've been told by the kids' teachers that a) if homework is causing angst, leave it. b) if it's taking more than half an hour, leave it. c) all homework is a revision of class work, so if they cant do it leave it and notify teacher.

It sounds like there are other issues at play here than homework tbh...

OP I don't know why everyone is flaming you. As far as I can see, you asked DH to help with homework (supporting your DS education) and he hasn't done it. Why should it be you that does it all teh time and why should you be the "nag".

From this people are questioning your marriage FFS!!

She's not getting flamed in the least. She's being asked why her DS requires so much assistance that he cannot even attempt to start his maths homework without his father at his side.

And I think people are asking about her marriage because sue seems terribly angry about this very trivial issue.

YANBU.

How utterly infuriating for you.
