Math<everything else

confession time.

I will absolutely save all of my childs math homework until my husband gets home to help her.

No, I do not feel guilty at all because...


  1. Math is my nemesis. Eternally. I was a music major. I counted to eight and didnt divide or multiply squat. If you ask me to find the square root of something, I guarantee, I will blink twice then walk away without a word.

  2. I also work full time and then some so I dont feel it is my “mommy duty” to cover all of the things. Not only do I have three business clients I consult for daily, I have a full docket of clients I coach privately and I am currently working on my own series of books.

  3. I am nowhere in the realm of a feminist. I am actually well within the boundaries of tradition. However, I did not get married and stay married in order to shoulder this parenting thing by myself. So I cover the english homework, dude drew the short straw and gets stuck with math.

  4. I savor the look on his face when he gets home from work with expectations of cheerful greetings but is in fact met with the bloodshot eyes of his wife trying not to use no-no words. It only gets better when he finally matches my frustration level (mid first math problem) because current math curriculum is utterly stupid.

I will not apologize for any of this.
