My response to my kids -- "hey! You touch that crap again I'll break your arm off"!


I once helped Adrienne and her girlfriend with their 4th grade math homework. They both got F's. I hate the "new math". It's so unnecessary! All you ever use is addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication. Tell me one time you ever used "new math" to do anything except to finance a car.


My kids grew up just fine... and prison food isn't as bad as they said it was. They looked like they never missed many meals.
Good for you! Kinda sounds like the way I was raised, except I didn'tneed help with homework because it was all the real stuff.not the crap they have now
