You know what? Don't sweat it the homework deadlines. Ya win some, ya lose some. Spawn (my daughter) is in 3rd grade and I have given up the illusion that her mother is any less addled than any other kid's mother. OOPS when I forget to sign the agenda or check the spelling, math, and science homework of the day.
I have to say that being a parent makes me a MUCH better teacher because I GET how "stuff happens" is a valid explanation sometimes. I also think that "it just wasn't worth the melt down (hers or mine)" should be a valid excuse every so often.

Underachiever but darn it all I am not dying of a stroke from 3rd grade stress.
