Sorry, I have a 9 year old and a 7 year old, but not an 8 year old.

He was 8 once - I remember it...it was kind of like 7 and not really that much different to 9.

Tinker · 13/09/2006 16:35

nutcracker · 13/09/2006 16:35

Mine has been going on 18 since she was about 4 LOL.

marthamoo · 13/09/2006 16:36

Awwww, thanks tamum.

nutcracker · 13/09/2006 16:38

Mine has more homework than last year yes, but last year she never had any at all cos the teacher didn't believe in it.

You'd all have loved to see her face when she came home the other day with Maths homewrok, spellings and her reading book

I don't mind them having it if it's something I don't have to help with

I've got an 8 year old DS, but he was born in '97 too.

can we have the one were girls start noticing them ( and then can I shove it in a corner of my mind where I don't actually have to think about it?)

marthamoo · 13/09/2006 16:40

Wait til they're 9 Ds1 now has maths every night, a long comprehension once a week, spellings (40!) to practise every night, a reading book every night and a writing exercise and more worksheets at the weekend.

Last night he had just started his maths when "My Parents Are Aliens" came on - he sighed deeply and switched it off. It took 40 minutes and then another 20 for spellings and reading - an hour a night seems excessive to me.

I was thinking of your ds the other day, moo- did you see my post about how ds's attitude to homework just transformed the moment he started secondary school? He always had exactly the same attitude as your ds. I can't tell you the relief...
