I am a mean and unfair mom! At least, that's what Darian told me today. What makes me so mean and unfair?
Well, I actually want him to understand his homework. He had a ton of homework tonight, and he was having problems with his math worksheet. It was a word problem involving money - if you have x number of coins and they are all quarter, dimes, or nickels, what is the greatest/least amount you can have? So, mean old me, I walk him through step by step how to figure out the answer. He got really frustrated and said "Why can't you just tell me?!" When I calmly explained that I wanted him to understand how to do this, his response was ,"(name removed)'s mom will just give him the answer when a problem is taking too long!"
Well son, too bad for you that you have a mom that cares more about your learning than just getting the work done.
I proudly remain,
Mean and Unfair Mom
