Kari,


Yes, all it took was once with my dd....unfortunately it happened in our vehicle. Barf all over the middle seat of the 'burban. Thank God for leather seats.

And no, I don't ENCOURAGE (note the word ENCOURAGE) my kids to do their homework on the bus. I never said that I forbade them. If they want to do it, that's their choice.

This general statement is not entirely directed to you:

Again, THE KIDS have hours of homework! Just because we are at home and available to answer a question or two, doesn't equal to "helicopter parenting" or "hovering". Our kids come for help if they need it. My words were taken WAY out of context, again and again, and again. The family activities that they bring home from time to time are simply a part of their schools curriculum. Are we "hovering" just because we are participating in a family assignment? One that they ARE graded on?


'nuff said. I've had a very long day of exams and I am going to crack open a beer or two. Well deserved as I ACED my exams! Woohoo
