Rascal #2 is one who gives me loads of heart and head aches each time she is asked to do her school homework, my homework or to memorize the weekly spelling, ejaan and ting xie from her pre school. Lots of nags, threats and whips are used each day. Can you imagine the amount of stress I go through everyday with her alone? I have 2 other brats who give me different kinds of stress. Sometimes when I am too caught up with work and forget to check her bag, I would uncover a pile of crap in her school bag at the end of the day – her tons of homework which is not done… which she had told me earlier that she has no homework!! In times like this, I would feel like strangling that brat. This was what happened several days ago. So she was forced to do her homework at 10pm… and this Energizer Bunny’s batteries were totally konked out at that hour.
Oh well. I should not complain. I just need to rant it out here 😀 Each time I am at the end of my tether with my 3 kiddos, I would force myself to reminisce what I had gone through 9 years ago and my promises to Him above. And my dear hubs would add in with those grim reminders of 2002 too and tell me to stop complaining.

same like my little Pearl, always says no homework, can hardly read a sentence of words, but she know how to spell Angry Birds after her big sister force to her learn spelling last week..
your rascal #2 must be very sleepy at 10pm, as she is at pre school still have chance to relax at bit.
oh poor girl. She is too tired. Sometimes at 10pm, I’m already in my dreamland. hehe….
My granny used to tell me that girls no need to study. Just be pretty and marry a rich man 🙂 Wished I followed her advice.
PL- but these days, I think men also want a wife who has brains and good academic background right? 😀
Sigh, me too I am so happy when my girl tell me that she got no homework 🙁
This is what I used to do…set aside an hour, maybe 6 – 7pm everyday for homework. No TV or radio or phone calls etc. If there is a project on, then it might go till 8pm. And if there was no homework, then reading time. Anyways, I feel bad that preschool has homework! Honestly, I don’t think there was homework till Grade 3 and not even daily! I think I was the only mum who complained to the school there wasn’t enough homework!
Love the idea abt being pretty and marrying a rich guy. I used to say in high school I wanted to be a “kept woman”! Sadly, no takers!
Chris, you sound too smart a lady to be a kept woman LOL!
i remember i was that trouble child who has lots of moldy packs of bread, from monday till fri, in my bag too, hehehe…..anyway, i still turned out fine now, so relax, k….
You can already have a gold medal for handling 3 kids so well. I’m already at wits end with 2!
