We are overseas so DD1 is off school just for Friday and Monday, she came home on Thursday with a 'family' homework project to complete a timeline of her life so far (mostly homework is just reading everyday).
I got DH involved and suggested it would be nice for him to help DD1, so they spent some time on Saturday picking six things to show on the timeline.
This morning he disappears of to his office for over an hour to choose and print out some pictures for her to use. I did go down at one point and ask what was taking so long, suggesting he just cut and paste a few pictures on to a page and print it out and let DD do the rest. He made a really weird comment about how 'if her project doesn't look good then it will look like we don't care and that we didn't help her??!". Eventually he comes upstairs with all the pictures printed out, already neatly cut out with captions written on the bottom of each one.
I point out that it says she needs to 'write' the timeline and surely more effort is required on her part than him doing it all on the computer. He then went huffing off in a strop to work.
I guess I was a bit blunt in what I said, but surely the whole point of any homework is the time and effort put in by the child, who cares if it looks fairly crap as long as the child did it mostly themselves.
I cut the captions off the photos and sat with DD1 while she wrote her timeline by hand (which she was happy to do).
WIBU and a bitch?
