You don;t know my kids. Please stop. I do not agree with you. Learn to deal with it. |
No they aren't. They are doing something they shouldn't be doing and using the studying thing as a cover. |
Project much? |
Know what they are doing? This describes some teenagers but not many. It's well understood that teenagers don't make the best decisions for the long-term. Many teenagers do not know the signs of burnout. Many 30somethings don't, because nobody ever taught them. |
OP here. After the spring DD has had, I actually wish that were true (within reason, of course). |
Are they at your house? My parents never noticed or seemed to care about my homework or what I was studying. I loved studying at my friend's house because her mom would bring us snacks, beverages, ask us what we wanted for lunch and dinner then make it and bring it to us. She asked if we needed more school supplies, etc. Ask your daughter what they want to eat and go get it for them, ask if they want you to do a Starbucks run. Please don't go in and tell them they need a break. |
And somehow you know OP's kid??? That's amazing. ![]() |
This was my fire thought as well. At rubbery least, they won't be completely focused on studying. |
Gotta love autocorrect. |
Said someone who doesn't remember being a teenager. |
Yes "studying" each other |
I am sure that trophy wives like you don't require a high school diploma |
Stop being such a bitch. NP here and I think PP's advice was great! And I am about as far from a trophy wife as anyone can imagine!! |
This precise situation is actually a great example of why the only people who say "either you're part of the problem or part of the solution" are idiots. Anyhow, I sincerely don't see how this is a problem to begin with. Yes, kids are overstressed. These particular kids are channeling that stress into a productive social event that they seem content with. |
Maybe, or maybe they are studying and taking periodic breaks but not announcing the breaks to mama hovering at the door. My kid is mostly studying today, too. Schools assign a lot of projects at this time of year. |
