Jen: I couldn’t let the teacher win. And that is exactly what it felt like when she offered to do my daughter’s homework with her. If I had let her do that I would have been admitting that I can’t handle it. Often times I can’t but we will get through it, I don’t need the teachers help. I need a vacation, I need a man, I need a lot of things but I can do my daughter’s homework with her.

Jenn: I shouldn’t even complain. You have your hands full and bless you for it. I hope you do stick your tongue out at the teachers. In fact I think I may do just that for you.

I’m a single mom and I don’t get nearly any of what I’m supposed to get done, done. I feel like sticking my tongue out!

Pricilla: Send Abby on over. We haven’t had any snow yet so I have a backyard full of grass for her.

Crabby Blogging Lady: She desperately wants to start a blog and as soon as she can read and write without my help she is welcome to blog away. The blog would be all about her dog and the cat and it would be filled with pictures of her stuffed animals. She does have a sense of humor like her mother (obviously) so I’m sure it would be funny, at least to me.

Buggys: I don’t think kids that age should have homework. I think they need to be kids for a little longer. I’m okay with reading stuff, we read stories every night, but we do that because she likes to read which is how I want it to be.

Katherine: My son did that very thing, also catholic school. We have many pictures like that. It was right around the time The Sixth Sense came out and of course I let him see it. He knew drawing the pictures would get attention, not the kind I wanted him to get but it worked for him. I had forgotten about those days.

Maureen: Here is to kick-ass women! My daughter is certainly not easy, but she has a good heart and I love that she is her own person.

CatLadyLarew: She didn’t yell at me she just looked at me the way teachers can without ever saying a word that makes students feel small. I think that would be the shame Lola was referring to. I do have an example to set so sticking out my tongue wouldn’t have helped the situation but the school year is far from over so who knows what will happen.

I laughed SO HARD when I read your daughter stuck her tongue out. I would have snorted, cried and yes, PEED IN MY PANTS when i was told that particular bit of information. Then when the pictures arrived, I would buy some for everyone in the family and frame a huge one over the fireplace. Your daughter ROCKS. Maybe one day she and Michael can get together when they are older… goodness can you IMAGINE their offspring! LOL
