[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, OP, your DH sounds difficult and un-helpful, and I feel for you. Yes, it is lonely.

I hate to say he may be right about anything, because my sympathies lie with you, but really, some parents do choose less activities, less festivities, etc. and that's fine. Sometimes a birthday is more special if it's only one event, you know? Kids don't necessarily need a ton of gifts, especially if they find them overwhelming. 
Sometimes the homework really doesn't need to be done by your child. If it's causing difficulty and you don't find it academically beneficial, you can speak with the teacher about an accommodation like doing every other problem on the page, or having one night off each week. Teachers will often agree to this as it's less work for them to grade, and if they don't feel your child needs the practice, there's no educational benefit to insisting on it. Or if you're busy with something else, speak with the teacher and say "Larlo has 1:1 math tutoring on X days, so I'm planning to not have him do the homework on those days." [/quote]
