It's a parenting dilemma for us, for sure. How can we tell Shannon to let her homework slide if she needs to rest and then tell Erin no resting until your homework is done? How can we listen intently to every ache and pain that Shannon has and then tell Erin to suck it up and tough it out when she feels crummy? (I guess the Mother of the Year Award will have to go to someone else this year ... again!)
Shannon made it through the school day, soccer and hockey without a headache, so we will try to continue the every other day taper this week. For today, Shannon is fine. For today, have a good thought for Erin...
