Good to see you posting again, looks like our families are going down the same path, my son had to re-sit the school year again, after failing last year, he is struggling again this year, and he learning the same stuff. Daughter who always got top marks is now flunking.
Our wives do not see the butterfly effect their actions have. It is always someone elses fault. My wife is blaming the teachers and the school. Duh!!
The power of positive thinking, unfortunatley easier said than done, but it does work
You wife will love it in the other room, it will be her cave, where she can shut out the world.
