what is the general rule around homework on access weekends? I am referring to every access weekend. Not just here and there. Every access weekend. The homework is not assigned by the school but rather through tutoring and needs to be done every night.
I have done the homework on all days of the access weekend (i.e., Fri, Sat, Sun) but I feel at the very least part of it should be done by the custodial parent on Fridays or Sundays. The child goes back at 5:30 PM on Sundays and is picked up at 5:30 PM on Fridays.
My biggest concern right now is the child being under the tone of viewing dads house as somewhere she has to go to do homework. Kids don't generally like or enjoy homework, again, her school doesn't assign homework for her current grade. Basically it is going to dads on weekends, doing homework Friday Saturday and Sunday, then coming back to moms to no homework. Sort of like, it's the weekend I get to go see dad! Oh wait, I have to go and do homework there.. sigh..
The only logical solution I can think of is to do it on Fridays, and maybe Saturdays, and have Sunday for other activities. The other think I have thought about is pushing back on this tutoring all together as the homework isn't anything I can't work with the kid on my own through other books.
Is it reasonable to push back on tutoring all together if you don't feel it is necessary for your child, or too much, or? Given you never agreed to it in the first place but it was rather pushed on you by the custodial parent?
What is everyone's thought, advice, and suggestions on this? How do you deal with the issue of homework as a custodial or non-custodial and/or access parent ? What about in situation of shared 50/50 parenting ? Again, I re iterate that it is not school assigned homework.
How can you make homework fun? What are some things you can do to make it fun? Do children generally enjoy doing homework at access weekends? Every access weekend, every day of it, all year long?
