[quote=Anonymous]Cant get DH to take it down a notch when it comes to getting our 13 yo DS to practice math every day.  We agreed he'd do 1 sheet of hw if teacher didn't assign hw (which is almost 3 days/week).  Today we returned at 9pm from an end of the year school social event, kids were exhausted after a full day of school.  We quickly went over school binder, established nothing is due tomorrow, and when I asked him to work on his math, he said he's tired. . I said okay, go to sleep.   DH went off, saying I let them off the hook too much and we should have pressed him to it and finish.  I think it's over the top and one night isn't going to make or break anyone.  DH is losing his mind, don't get me wrong, I value education and enforce
 rules around hw and learning, but come on, it's the end for year for goodness sake, and they were running around eating all kinds of sweets, playing with friends and I'm not going to stress them out now.  How do you get a tiger dad to calm down? DH is doing well.. of course he'd love to skip hw everyday if we let him but that's not what happens. I'm afraid DH is going to stress DS out more than help out [/quote]
