Oh, I just love the after school homework routine. Okay, not really. Sometimes it can be a real challenge to get the children to do their homework. There is always one who doesn’t feel like doing it on any given day. Therefore there is never a reprieve. I always have to stand over one of them to make sure they don’t dilly dally about. It can be very grating on the nerves, but I am very good at holding my temper. I simply tell them that if it doesn’t get done, they will do nothing for the rest of the week that is remotely fun. It works most of the time, but not always.
