So t...You are forgetting that I homeschool my kids. So this is a daily struggle in my house ~ or almost daily struggle. My 11 yr old constantly says 'Do I have to?' "Can I just do this instead of this?" so forth and so on. When if he's just do what is on his assignment card to begin with he'd be done. He spends more time trying to get out of something then it would take to do it the first time!<BR/>And today? My 8 yr old cried, yes CRIED over a pretest in Spelling when she didn't get them all right and found out she's going to have to do the real test tomorrow. And I'm sure the test tomorrow won't be any easier. Whining & so forth.<BR/>Yesterday it took them 2-2.5 hours to do 6 pages of schoolwork!!<BR/>So yeah, it happens here I just try not to blog about it sometimes LOL!!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07771862398784535531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19855347.post-57561170952420262008-03-25T19:09:00.000-05:002008-03-25T19:09:00.000-05:00My daughter has ADD and what you described has bee...My daughter has ADD and what you described has been my life since day one. We have struggled and are still struggling to get her out of school. I'm not even sure she is going to graduate this year. I know that when she was younger I made her go from the bus to the kitchen table and she did not leave until the homework was done. High school is much harder. Hang in this to shall pass!Queen-Size funny bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14134308455271808356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19855347.post-40811525534009472832008-03-25T15:13:00.000-05:002008-03-25T15:13:00.000-05:00Are you sure you weren't at MY house with MY kids?...Are you sure you weren't at MY house with MY kids?jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00984879642742438102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19855347.post-58237451624844006042008-03-25T13:09:00.000-05:002008-03-25T13:09:00.000-05:00I am a grandma who lives in the same house as her ...I am a grandma who lives in the same house as her grandchildren. Not only do we have all the things you mentioned, these kids love to yell/scream. A couple weeks ago, in desperation, we put up a chart with everyone's name on it (mom, dad, and grandma included). Each time someone yelled, was mean to a sibling, etc. they got a mark on the chart. The person with the fewest marks won a prize. Surprisingly this made a huge difference in our home. We just gotta pick out another prize and get the chart back up before we lose all the ground we gained. =(Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11072209113562315120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19855347.post-76582858886365036432008-03-25T11:57:00.000-05:002008-03-25T11:57:00.000-05:00You are not alone...you are not alone...hang in th...You are not alone...you are not alone...hang in there! <BR/><BR/>I sure can relate and mine are not twins, and not in school...but yep, we have nights, many nights like that!!!!<BR/><BR/>Those who pretend not to...well, they are no fun!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08122365458052947125noreply@blogger.com
