[quote=Anonymous]People here don't know how, or don't choose to, say things with kindness. OP, you're not being selfish. You know she's not doing homework for 4-6 hours straight. That's the thing. You mentioned having her do homework downstairs for an hour and people latched onto that with horror. :roll: Maybe that's not feasible, but the point is you'd like her to spend some time downstairs and feel she should be able to carve out an hour of the whole afternoon/evening to do that, knowing she's not [i]that[/i] busy. My 16yo ds has the opposite problem. He's constantly taking breaks and comes down to play with his siblings, the dog, get a snack, tell me a story from the day. He does spend a lot more time in his room since being in high school, and yes, he has a lot of homework. But if you compressed it, it would be more like 2 hours a night, 3 max. He just drags it out, and your dd probably does, too. [/quote]
