More On Homework
Landismom (she of Bumblebee and Sweet Potato) commented on my last post in terms of homework and the managing thereof.
I am a hands-off parent in general when it comes to the girls homework. Their responsibility to do it--though I will see what they have and remind them to do it. Or rather, I still do that for JR. At 14 SC is more than old enough to manage her work--and I'm glad to say that she seems to do so nicely.
I'll help with homework if needed, but my theory is that I already went to school, already got graded and it's not me who's going to have to get into college in <sigh> all too few years. So mostly, the girls do their own.
But this cartoon from the wonderful Pajama Diaries made me chortle. Because I know an awful lot of parents like this. Including the Man a time or two!
P.S. I highly recommend that you consider a subscription to King Features "Daily Ink" website ,and get Terri's daily cartoons. It's $15.00 per year and entitles you to get nearly 100 comics, plus games and other such. Lots of other good strips there that you can't get in the newspaper. I'm personally partial to old strips from "The Phantom" myself...
