[QUOTE="ready2run, post: 493160, member: 11339"] i don't have time to read this whole thread right now. i just wanted to say that it's okay to not be on top of homework, especially if she is in homework club. maybe they can collect her homework from her before she leaves and make sure it gets to the appropriate teacher. i have told my sons teachers that i don't do homework. i don't check homework, i don't push homework and i won't punish over homework. i was clear about that right off the bat so i haven't really had any issues over it. i got some funny looks when i said it but hey, in my home i have 3 difficult child's and a toddler. i don't have time to read things that aren't of help to me and i don't have time to go over tedious amounts of math problems. it's not my job. i also want to recognize that mother in law does have some validity to her complaint that someone should take better care with difficult child's homework if it is that important to that person. *points at mother in law and father. if it is a priority to them to make sure your difficult child is on top of that and to keep track of it then by all means invite them to take over that responsibility, you have enough on your plate to deal with already. i am also a step mother to a difficult child and it is not easy. i also get blamed for all things big and small, i am hated and no matter what i do it is wrong and difficult child wants to go back to 'belly lady' as he calls her. he doesn't remember her really, he was not even 2 yet last time she saw him and he is almost 7 now but he is sure that she is a much better mother than i and that if i would just call her she would come rushing to get him. now, i know that is so far from the truth it isn't funny but try explaining that to someone who refuses to hear it. i don't even want to imagine how it will be when he reaches that age. good luck to you and i hope you find your answers.
