[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you do. do NOT do it because you think you need to support your kids’ school work. It’s not developmentally appropriate for them to have required homework until they are like 10 or 11 at the earliest. Just opt out. More parents need to push back on tech and homework at inappropriate times. It’s so stupid.

I SAH and I think my kids will be better off for it. As they get older it’s kind of insane the mental load. It’s like being a social worker 24/7 with my two ADHD kids. If I were still working FT I would probably be a raging alcoholic or divorced already. There is no way I could do it. But yeah, my career is dead and the way things are going I don’t know if I’ll ever get back to it. Follow your gut but also have lots of talks with your spouse.[/quote]

This is a helpful and interesting perspective, thank you. This is all new to me, and to answer the questions of other posters, she is in a play and violin (optional add ons right at her school in place of aftercare), and the drama and music teachers send multiple emails and assignments a day. It is truly bananas.

Put her in activities that are less stressful. What’s truly bananas is quitting a well-paying job because a 5-year old has too much homework.[/quote]
