Home work is not fun
I want to learn more to be able to assist children in their homeworks and anytime i do it i feel good about it still i dont like homeworks not even homefun it stresses me out.
I do homework for both my kids and siblings so most times i am face with difficult challenges that keeps me up and thinking my head off just to solve the problem though i get easily pissed off if it is mathematics and i find it hard to give a coordinated solution. Why can they just give them class work and let it end in school 🙄?
For my kids their home fun is not something to keep me up, just that she get easily tired of the home fun if it is many and i ask is that how she act in class or she will just come home and turn baby for mummy. you have to add more fun to help her enjoy the fun of writing and completing her homework. When she comes back from school she is all super excited about the home work but doing it she will stress me and make me shout worst of it is when it is up to three or four and i have to beg her to do it. I wish she did it in school than bring it home just me o.
For my kid sister, she stresses the living fun out of me with her home work most times i have just two days to read and summarize a book for her, i enjoy the process though because i get to read and acquire more knowledge still i hate staying up late to do it. i keep telling her to lern how to do it herself cause i hate the stress attached with it.
Recently, she gave me a philosophy text and wrote down chapters to review in the text and i am like, i dont have time for this and ahe will be begging as if na me follow her go school and at the end of the day i saw myself doing it, i have to charge her for it, yes i have to.
Yesterday, my daughter came home very eccited telling me she can write 1-100 (one to hundred) alone, i was happy for her even congratulated her but immediately i told her to bring her bag let me check if she was giving home fun and lo and behold i saw a book with write 1- 100 at first i was like why didn't they just give het 1-20 or guide her do it in school. She has been writing 1-30, to 50 self but this 100 i knww i was up for some stress cause i know my daughter, she gets tired over small things that takes her time for a long time so i avoided the assignment the whole day till night. In the night, i woke her up, told her is time for her home fun and she happily woke up, took her pencil and eraser, she started writing till she got to 47 (forty-seven) and there she told me "mummy I'm tired" i pleaded with her to push to 50 or 70 self because i personally hate doing her home fun in the morning but aunty refused and started crying so i packed up and told her to get back to bed which she did and this morning, i practically pleaded her to finish it.
Giving a child home work is good but making it every day thing is what i don't appreciate and giving the child up to five homework in a day is inappropriate na, why not teach them in school and help them do class activity then one simple home fun that she can confidently do it and not something the parents thinks to write. My view.
