Homework!? - Sunday!

⏱ Estimated Read Time: 2 minutes

Yo, good morning! It’s Sunday! We made it through another week, or we’re starting another week – ah, whatever, we’re not doing that shtick again.

Man, my kids started getting homework, so all freaking Saturday we’re doing homework because they have ‘good with class’ homework (whatever that is!). Then throughout the week, we’re doing their normal school homework. I shouldn’t be that anti-homework, but here’s the problem: as a parent, you’ve got to actually help do it! So, it’s not just homework for them, but now it’s homework for you! I know it’s a small thing, but it’s been so long since I had to worry about homework. Working with the kids through their homework is tough; their attention span isn’t there. It’s like, “Okay, focus, let’s finish it!” Then, “Okay, no, no, let’s go back and do it,” and meanwhile, you’re just like…you could crank through it in ten seconds! Obviously, it’s just grade one homework, but…

I’m not trying to be one of those parents who think kids shouldn’t have homework and should be free to do what they want and explore their minds. I mean, they need homework, I understand that. But homework just ended up being more homework for me, and somewhat selfishly, I’m against it! I know there are other ‘keener’ parents out there; I don’t understand y’all at all who are like, “That’s not enough homework, they need more!” Are y’all really doing it all yourselves, man?

It’s not even too much more; I shouldn’t be complaining because it’s not much. It’s just new, and it’s new homework I’ve got to help do. More than anything, it’s not even him doing more because he can crank through it once he starts; it’s constantly reeling him back in. Alright, focus! Alright, tapping the desk making sure he’s getting at it – that’s the rough part. But hey, no homework today! It’s golf day! We’re going golfing today, man! I hope it’s fun; the weather looks nice, the leaves look nice. Maybe I’ll take a camera and just take pictures of the freaking leaves or something. Who knows? I’m probably not going to find the ball anyway. Take it easy, peace!

Ai Header Image Prompt: High quality, highly detailed abstract digital art banner image. On the left, a dynamic composition of intricate, fragmented geometric forms and sharp, guiding lines in cool, slightly muted digital tones (deep blues, grays, faded purples, subtle whites), suggesting scattered attention, mental effort, and the structured chaos of a homework environment. These elements appear to be gently coalescing or being steered by a subtle, warm, central glow, representing a parent's patient guidance. Transitioning smoothly towards the right, the scene shifts to fluid, organic shapes and sweeping, expressive lines in a vibrant autumn color palette (rich greens, warm golden yellows, burnt oranges, soft browns). This side evokes a sense of open space, gentle motion, and natural beauty, subtly hinting at golf course landscapes, crisp air, and falling leaves, without any literal depiction. Diffused, soft light permeates this section, conveying relaxation and freedom. A subtle energetic gradient or a flowing, curved line connects the two contrasting sides, symbolizing the transition from the week's focused struggle to Sunday's leisure. The overall composition should be balanced and harmonious, focusing on suggestive shapes and light. No discernible human figures, hands, or limbs. No text overlay. The style should be sophisticated and avoid any overtly 'AI-generated' or overly smooth aesthetic, emphasizing thoughtful design, intricate digital textures, and subtle luminescence throughout.
