Those of you who have children of homework-age know what I am talking about.
He is now grounded.
He is shocked, perhaps, but then again, perhaps with the selective hearing of a pre-teen, he did not understand that I was serious the other five times I told him to do his homework today.
I dislike raising my voice. He complained that I was yelling at him. I simply told him that since he did not hear me when I asked nicely several times earlier today, that I assumed he needed to hear it louder. (and I was not yelling, but pre-teens have a way of hearing anger in the most reasonable of tones...)
sigh...
