Seems like today was just one of those days when neither hubby nor myself could get away from unhappy parents of kids we work with. The trick for me is only to hold out until spring, when I suspect I will no longer have to work with the ones I met earlier today. Hubby's is a bit more subtle than that, but he'll manage to address the situation admirably, as he always does.
Of course, as we're trying to do our jobs, we're also trying to keep up with our family--one child came home with, shall we say, a less than acceptable grade in not one but TWO courses! (Of course, she's tearful & hubby is quoting his favorite Biblical quote out of the book of Luke about wailing & gnashing of teeth!) She is hearing about it from him as I type--I zapped her earlier in the evening--and we've pretty much firmly decided she's done with Guitar Hero for a while. (And friends, and other diversions that take away from homework time!)
Hope my readers' offspring are having a better academic time of it!
