Kat, they unwind with me for an hour and then they are supposed to get the homework done with the sitter so STBXW doesn't have to worry about it at 6:30 p.m. when she gets home.

It worked great last year, but D8 didn't have much homework. So far this year, it's slipping. D11 already has three missing math assignments and now D8's issues.

Yes, it's a concern and I'll watch as things go on. I am going to wait and see though before calling and saying anything. I don't want to spend the next 10 years playing "gotcha" when something goes wrong.

That being said, I will admit that I'm not totally upset over this. Sorry, bring out the 2x4s, but one of the advantages of being a married couple is there are TWO people there at night to handle homework issues. STBXW wanted to be primary custodian so she has to deal with this seven nights out of 10 every two weeks.

I'm not rooting for the kids to fail. I'm just saying it's nice to see "consequences" sometimes.
