To expect my dd to revise for her upcoming GCSEs?

[wildfellhall]

I don't think the nagging helps but it's hard to watch the absolute paralysis.
The breakfast at lunchtime.
Although she does fairly well despite being so unable to work steadily.

But I'm torn between having a sense that there are parents who are actually helping and a sense that I should stop trying as I clearly am not helping.

I just want her to do herself justice and decrease the horrible suspense.

It's hard to know what my role could be.

I know by the end of the week she will be distressed that she's done no work but as it is she won't start through some kind of overwhelm.

Any advice gratefully received as I am baffled.

Could you ask her what help she would like from you? Would a timetable help - something you could draw up together?

All good advice thank you, I think exercise is absolutely key!

Seriously?!

My parents' approach was, 'if you want to do well in life, crack on, otherwise don't. Your choice.'

(SPOILER ALERT: I did, and it was fine. Was mildly disappointed by one C, but I still got into the Russell Group university of my choice and am now a normal adult with a decent career.)

Why are you all doing this stuff? Are you not worried that you're infantilising your practically adult children?
