Why does homework time have to be such a bitch?
Everyday, never fails, the girl has homework. Why is she all surprised and whiney about having to do it?
She doesn't want to show up without it. She's too scared to do such a thing. So it's going to get done one way or another. But why does it have to get done like this?
Her: Can I take a shower?
Me: Homework first.
Her: Fiiiiiiiinnnnnnnneeeeee.
Me: cooking dinner, cleaning, whatever
5 minutes later...
Her: "I throw mah hands up in the air sometimes - singin AAAAYYY ooooo baby LET'sss go. I wanna celebrate and live my life...."
Me: That's not homework. That's singing. Stop singing.
7 minutes later...
Her: *tap* *tap* *tap* *tap* *tap* *tap* *tap* *tap* *tap* *tap*
Me: Stop that! Stop flicking my vase with the pencil! DO YOUR HOMEWORK!
4 minutes later...
Her: *silence*
Me: WHERE ARE YOU?!
Her: I had to go to the bathroom!
Me: You went when we got home!!!!!!! I DONT WANT TO WATCH YOU DO HOMEWORK UNTIL 10:00 AT NIGHT!!!!!! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME GIRL!?
...
Then this morning, I find a worksheet not done in her folder. So while she shoves cheerios into her mouth she has to circle nouns and underline verbs.
Then I drop her off and say, "Do you have a spelling test today?? We didn't study!!!"
She says she knows the words.
I am now hanging out of the car window screaming:
"SPELL FOURTH!!! SPELL BREAKFAST!!! SPELL SYRUP!!!!!!!!"
I'm THAT mom.

Hahahaha! Just this morning I told Lily to get her shoes and socks on and I see her taking them into the living room, so I think we're good. About 5 minutes later I walk by the living room, she has one sock on and she's dancing and singing. I'm like, REALLYYYYYY??!!!!!
