[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 298825"] Put away the explosives! LOL!!!! Kuddos to you for paying your easy child $10 an hour to help difficult child with- his homework. As look as it doesn't stress her out to do it, it relieves you of h/w duty and gives her some extra spending cash. A win-win if I ever heard one. I would secretly search the neighborhood for a second tier h/w helper. Perhaps a responsible high school student. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, constantly put yourself in this situation where you are overhwhelmed or worse. You mentioned your blood pressure. Well, guess what? I had too much stress in the household with- my kids and one day my blood pressure went completely haywire and NEVER fully returned with-o medication. That was it folks! One day good BiPolar (BP) and the next day...MEDICATION to keep my numbers down. Also, I think 1.5 hour of h/w time is pretty much a maximum. Perhaps you can do another 30 minutes much later in the day (maybe). Our son and daughter in law tutor, and they try very hard to do more than 1.5 hours at a time. They only do 2 hours with students who can concentrate well. They definately keep it at a maximum of 1.5 hours if the student has been identified as having any special needs. I agree, concentrate on the specifics of what "teacher" wants. Glad the summer is almost over...wishing you well. [/QUOTE]
