Great Parenting 101


Dear Mrs. Gallagher,

I am so happy that Scotty has you for Pre-Algebra, he is really enjoying the challenge of the class.
Now about that worksheet you gave them for homework.....
He finished it.
I want you to know Mrs. Gallagher, that Scotty is delusional.
We aren't as bad of parents as the worksheet may make us seem.

Sincerely,

Byron and Jeni
(who you have known for years and years and know to be fabulous parents)




Look Carefully at this chart. What part do you think made me feel like a pond scum mother"

Oh, come on... 6 hours of school and 6 for TV and Videogames.. Sounds like he is a man of moderation in all things.. Never mind the only thing that he does more of is sleep! :)

I'm more impressed that he only spends one hour on homework. He's Scotty Smarty. The tv and video games are obviously working their magic.

I'm pretty impressed that he THINKS he goofs off for 6 hours a day...he must think you are pretty awesome parents!

Hey, on my days off sleep would take up over half of my day, too.

6 hours of TV and videogames a day. Wow! He must be the fastest kid in the world at doing his homework.

Oh man, I hope my kids don't get that homework sheet...

My kids would have to enter in 1 hour of their day spent trying to get their mom's attention.

Did you once mention this was your favorite child? I think the others are moving up in the running now.

Scotty is a man after my own heart!

I like your signature. I like how TV and video games are carefully separated. What I want to know is if the 6 hours of "Scotty time" is real.

That's my boy!

Jessica said...

Sure keeps him quiet while you're trying to blog, though...

Lauren said...

GO SCOTTY!! Thats why he's the favorite, he doesn't bother anyone...he doesn't have time to on that tight schedule!!

At least he can do math. Is he playing math video games? Watching educational TV? He is a smart boy.
