I have 3 children in the Anne Arundel County public school system, and an early dismissal day every week is not a part of the school system.

I stated that. The nanny and housekeeper are strangers when they enter an employer's home for the first time. Are they not?

Only because it was brought up and she answered the questions asked...so yet again.

Why does it matter?

I'm not implying anything...I'm asking why possessions can't be left with strangers but it's okay to leave children with strangers.

With all due respect here is the problem, If that is what you want to know than ask me that specifically b/c i did not know that is what you wnated to know.

It should be a no brainer, Iam responsible for the children, the homework is secondary, but it is my responsibility to teach them what i expect from them.

Right now, I believe i will be making sure my children have their homework done befor they go to the next step in their routine. When my children are older with the size of my family and having three boy's and a girl i need to keep some kind of structure and routine in their lives, not like supper nanny style or the crazy women of wives swap, but i think that keeping kids consistent is key it is teaching them to be responsible for themselves. My goal is happy healthy well rounded self suffficent ppl. I believe that my views are how i reach that goal.

I do not see letting go of overseeing my childrens education and future becasue they are 16 will change my views i may calm down bout it though. LOL!

Iam responsible for my children and a part of that imo is overseeing as i see fit. :)

Just my opinion. My goals in my family.

I could do something more enjoyable than cleaning my bathroom or raking my yard, but it's my property and my responsibility. Not everything in life needs to be enjoyable.
