[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son prefers not to work on math with his dad because DH is rather critical - I would not say abusive but definitely had on DS - along the lines of, "I can't believe someone as smart as you would make a mistake like that!" So when I can I'll work with DS, but the reality is that I have a busy life and a job, so sometimes he has to suck it up and go to Dad for help if I'm unavailable and he needs it. I've talked to DH, he hasn't changed, the math needs to get done, and the reality is that not everything in life will be pleasant all of the time, and at the end of the day it is DS's responsibility to get it done and get the help he needs to do it. [/quote] You are asking for a lot of maturity from a kid whose dad is such an ass when helping. It is DS' responsibility to put in a good effort, and to seek extra help from the teacher. No child has an obligation to get every answer right or to sign up for "help" from a parent like that.[/quote]
