SS: Heidi, why have you been grading my homework?
ME: Because your dad is busy.
SS: You’ve been checking it a lot.
ME: Yep
SS: Do you think dad can check it tomorrow?
ME: Don’t know honey.
This has been a daily conversation this week. He is frustrated because when I check his homework, I actually check it. Which means he has to go back and redo some of the math homework, actually finish the language and write the spelling words correctly. Most of the time hubby doesn’t even look at his homework. My husband just packs his bag after he goes to bed.
I am a mean mom.
