[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 122750, member: 1514"] Here are more of your homework hints, Pico. These were to Sue C re her daughter and their battle with Algebra. Darlin. Repeat after me. S - L - O - W - L - Y. I MUST give my child the opportunity to grow on her own. I MUST give my child the opportunity to fall down. I MUST give my child Ownership of her choices. I MUST give my child room to land on her ass, because her head don't want to hear it. Now. Repeat after me, a little faster. I cannot be right, with a child and a husband both determined to undermine and sabotage every effort I make to help this child. SO, when she cries because she doesn't understand her math, tell her that it is now her father's job to tutor her, since he agreed with her that she shouldn't have to change her schedule to get the help at school. Then go take a bath. I KNOW YOU'RE NOT THAT DIRTY!!! Dry skin will only happen if you don't add "Spoil Me Rotten" bath oil, so indulge! (Work with me here.) IT IS NOT YOUR JOB TO MAKE HER SUCCEED IN SPITE OF EVERY OBSTACLE SHE AND HER FATHER CAN COLLECTIVELY DREAM UP TO THROW (literally) IN YOUR WAY! If this young lady lands on her butt with a great big F, in red, guess who earned it? And just how far would all those "Mommy Propped Me Up" A's get her in college anyway? Are you going to go to college with her so she doesn't fail there, too? Are YOU going to be the one learning brain surgery so she can become a doctor? Let me know, quick! I need to know which one of you I really want that appointment with! LOL! Darlin'. If you don't let her fall down, she'll never learn to skate, ride her bike, dance, fly. It's up to her. You can give her opportunities. But: BLOW THIS UP AND POST IT ON THE FRIDGE:::: WHEN OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS, SOMEBODY HAS TO BE WILLING TO ANSWER THE DOOR! So let her own her stuff. And if she cries because you won't help her, help her by telling her to go talk to Daddy about her math. And take that bath. With a good trashy book. And a candle. And a glass of some yummy liquid. And soft music. Damn, I'm good! [/QUOTE]
