[QUOTE="Malika, post: 475806, member: 11227"] I'm with ready2run - down with homework :) Why do they spend all day in school if it's only to come straight home and open schoolbooks? Imagine coming back from a hard day at the office and then being expected to sit down, open your briefcase and start all over again, when all you want to do is relax, switch off and unwind? I admire the stand you take on it... As for sibling rivalry and squabbles, yes it is all normal and I see it everywhere. It's rather sad though. I always think of an ex-sister in law and her two children, girl aged 6 and boy aged 4, in this regard. They are SO sweet together and it is totally genuine. Constantly looking out for each other, making sure the other one has their fair share, comforting each other when they are hurt or upset, particularly the older girl towards the younger boy. I have known them all their lives and she has always had this devoted love for her younger brother which he reciprocates. It is really touching to see. And, unfortunately, unique in my experience...
