Help! I'm at my absolute wits end with the amount of homework my Dd 7 and Ds 6 have to do at home.
Dd 7 soon to be 8 can do hers with just support but it's Times tables, other maths, spellings and then reading. EVERY DAY! It's a lot and she moans about it but ultimately does it. But my Ds who is the youngest in his class, well it's like pulling teeth. He just point blank refuses and it's the same amount of work to Dd.
At first I'm patient, then I cajole, then I threaten to tell his teacher and it's all downhill from there.
I'm finding it all too much let alone my DC's.
Me and DH work full time shift work and we also take the DC's to two activities but I always thought that a parents job was to rear well rounded children not to teach them what school should be doing. If lockdown taught me anything it was that I am not a teacher!
Am I wrong that this is too much for such young DC's and I shouldn't be expected to come home and fight with my kids to do homework.
Just so angry and need to rant.
School keeps pulling me aside and insisting I do more, try to do more. I'm done I'm exhausted.
AIBU?
