I can see if motion sickness were an issue - but then it would only take once, why not let the child decide? Why does it matter to you where they do it? My kids prefer to have down time at home - well, one of them does, he always does his on the bus so he can play at home. My daughter the social butterfly chitchats on the bus and studies at home. My other varies from day to day. My point is that the kids do the homework and come for help if they need it, which IMO is how it is meant to be, really nothing to do with family dynamics but with letting the kid do his or her own job. And please do not assume we don't discuss things or show interest in their work...that is really separate from homework.

Off topic, and not just addressed to you - I really detest when someone discounts another's opinion just because of a lack of experience. Just a personal pet peeve of mine!

I guess in that way of thinking my experience with older kids doesn't count, since they aren't triplets. LOL! Whatever works for you. But I am not the one spending hours on homework, just saying.
