I have realised that I am showing my daughter that being a hypocrite is acceptable.
I am a parent and as such am allowed to indulge.
If my elder daughter were not to do her homework I would be annoyed. I would explain that homework is practice and a learning experience. She would have an outburst and I would have to calm her down.
Each time we do homework we understand a problem better and better have the ability to apply the new skills it gives us to other situations. Homework is a necessary evil and as a teacher I enjoy setting it and watching how students grow.
If my daughter knew that I was not doing my own homework (blog) she would be angry with me but I would doubtlessly brush it off with excuses of being tired, busy or lacking subject matter. I would not be allowed to have a tantrum and would have to suffer her wrath as she labored the point that she was doing as she was told but I was not. See, told you I was a hypocrite.
I am now having to follow my daughter's and buckle down. I can't find excuses just a brief moment to write. I have a list of topics to address and a brief description of my trip to Europe and reunion, for example. The dress was fabulous, btw.
Time to get busy and not find excuses.
