Homework Nightmares

  Needless to say Lincoln HATES homework.  This week he had his first packet of homework which includes 6 pages that he gets on Monday and has to have turned in by Friday.  His homework consist of coloring, cutting, pasting and writing.  Coloring is the biggest problem we have, he says his hands hurt with all the coloring.

  I really hate dealing with it right when he comes home but that is the rule in our house.  As soon as you get home it needs to be completed so we can focus on fun the rest of the evening.  Matt and I sure were spoiled with Kaylee, she just did it.  No problems at all and most of the time she did it on her own at daycare and we just checked it when we got home.  She is actually the reason we made the rule of doing it right when you get home.  With her always having it done when we got home from work we never had to waste that family time with homework, we got to enjoy it.

Here is a typical conversation Lincoln and I have everyday when he walks in the door:

Linc -I hate homework!
Me - I know just do it.

Linc- read the instructions (which I do)
Huh! (Read them again)

Linc - I hate coloring!
Me - I know just do it.
Linc - I'm done
Me - nope you just colored one thing.
Linc - nope I colored them all white (the paper is white, he is already being sneaky)
Me - no color them a diff color and finish the paper.

Linc - I hate cutting!
Me - I know just do it.

Linc - I gotta poop!
