My kids complained a couple of weeks ago...ok, well, Jayden complained a couple of weeks ago.... when I made her do "homework" on a Saturday morning of work she was supposed to do on Friday and didn't, but told me she did. She said "We ALWAYS do school! We NEVER get a break! No one else did school yesterday (it was Good Friday) and NO ONE is doing school today, and everyone has spring break next week, but we'll still be doing school!!! We NEVER take a BREAK!"

So I said... "You are right. We NEVER take a break. We NEVER stop 'doing school' to go to Disney World, or on a cruise, or to the beach, or random other long weekends. Man, EVERY time we do something fun is always when EVERYONE ELSE is out of school too!! We ALWAYS take 9 hours (how long from bus run to bus run here) EVERY SINGLE DAY to do school! We NEVER get done in less than 2 hours of all of you doing school! We NEVER get done before your friends even wake up when they are on their breaks!"

Then I just looked at her. She said "ok, fine. You are right. I was just frustrated with myself for not doing the 10 minutes of English yesterday when I was supposed to. I much prefer our schedule."
