[quote=Anonymous]I work for a great family who has a very sweet 8 year old girl. I have been working for them for a month and I am mostly happy.

However, I have noticed something that is frustrating me and Im not sure if I am just being picky or what. My charges teacher send home the homework for the week on monday. The homework then stays at the house until friday when it is all stapled together and turned in that day at school. The homework packet comes with a page outlining which pages she is supposed to do on each day. Each day usually has math and spelling and she is also supposed to do some work on her weekly project (book report, research project etc).

My charge HATES homework. It is alway a big fight. But she knows that the  homework has to get done before we can do fun activities like paint, dance, play etc. Since this is our routine it always gets done because she knows I am not going to play with her if it isn't done.

Now, my issue is that I work 3 days a week and the two weekdays I am not there, she doesn't do homework. I come to work on Tuesday and look at her homework packet and see that mondays work did not get done. So now we have to do todays homework PLUS Mondays. Then I come in on Thursday and see that she did not do Wednesdays homework so now we have to do 2 days worth on one day AGAIN. I feel like the parents aren't making her do it because she puts up such a fight but it is unfair to her to have to do a double amount on her days with me. I also feel like it sets me up for a harder day since now she's mad she has so much homework to do and extra cranky. It is also not keeping her on the routine of doing homework before play time.

What should I do? Am I being silly?[/quote]
