Homework Hell – 9

It's the Great American Parenting Nightmare. Too much homework. It turns households into battle grounds, kids into sleep-deprived zombies, and parents into puddles of frustration. Are we wrong?

By the time kids get to high school they are juggling after school activities, about 3 hours of homework each night, a demanding social scene (both digital and IRL), and often a part-time job.

You're not crazy. It's hell. For you. For us. And for every parent we know. Oh sure, there's the occasional whiz kid whose mom looks at you in mock surprise when you complain and responds with a smug, "Really? Gosh, Chad doesn't seem to have any problems with the workload."

Pro tip of the day. Tell Chad's mom to take a hike and then press "play" on this week's episode of I Shouldn't Have Had Kids. You are in damn fine company!
