Go-Arounds

Posted under Family News by Vicki

It’s been a rough week with the girls. I’ve had some go-arounds with them, and have been disappointed in them as well.

Schoolwork, or more accurately homework has been one of the go-arounds this week. The tv or playing is so much more interesting than homework, or at least so they think. I try to stay on the sidelines when it comes to certain things….Like a math test I knew was coming up today, and acouple of times this past week I asked if she was ready for this test, she said “yes” although I knew she hadn’t committed a lot of time to studying. Turns out she wasn’t quite as ready as she said….so, out comes Mom from the sidelines.

I used one test as an example, but there have been other instances with both of them. Needless to say they aren’t exactly happy that I’ve come off the sidelines, but as soon as I see them turning things around again, I will slide back a bit. Education and good grades, but they need to realize that themselves, not always have me hanging over their shoulder’s.
