6 things I hate about back to school

6 things I hate about back to school

GYMPIE favourite daddy blogger Bruce Devereaux is dragging his feet on day one of term four. Catch up with all his blogs at Big family Little Income here.

This is by no means a complaint against teachers. I love teachers they provide free babysitting five days a week so I can do housework.

I haven used an alarm in months. It been lovely. But apparently I have to get up before 7am now. And I say 7am so I don sound as lazy as if I said 9am which is more in line with recent daily routines.

Thing is, I just trained the kids to make their own breakfast and watch ABC2 and not come into my bedroom every single morning (read as morning and now I expected to get out of bed just after sunrise! I hate this so much.

This means some sort of planning rather than opening the pantry and trying to make sense of the ingredients.

Who wants a ham and jam sandwich? Cucumber and lettuce? It was a rhetorical question. I don care.

I will pick the least stained and hole filled shirt for the first day of school so they don stand out amongst the other well turned out kids. After that they look pretty much the same as last year.

And if I need to buy a new piece of uniform, because other parents type faster than me on Facebook when a school shirt pops up in my feed, just accept they be way too big they so expensive these days they need to last until they finished grade 12.

School starts at about nine but the pubs don open until ten. What the go with that? (joking)pandora jewelry

And school finishes at 3pm but most people don get out of work until 5pm. Who decided this stuff and why do they hate parents? (not joking)

I convinced homework is about blame shifting. You got these kids for about six hours if you can get them to learn stuff in that time what makes you think we can do it between cooking dinner and showers?

Think about it, we had them for the five years before they started school and still hadn taught them to stop picking their noses.

Please stop trying to involve us in homework because we don have a degree in teaching. We still working on teaching them to make their bloody beds of a morning.

Can they leave the damn things at school? You seem to place a lot more emphasis on hats than I do, so let remove them from my equation.

I so sick of looking for the things and they usually in the school lost property box anyway.
