[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 555144, member: 1233"] You have WAY too much on your plate. Time to get an IEP meeting and declare no homework period. If the kids cannot do it in the 6-7 hrs they are in school, it doesn't need to be done. Let school know that you will NOT fight homework battles because time at home is for doctor appts, therapy appts, the everyday business like baths and dinners, and family time. School is taking enough of their days and the kids have enough other pressure. Yes, you CAN do this and be a responsible parent. You are already doing appointments, accommodations and everything else and essentially doing it as a single parent if your husband works nights. He has to sleep and cannot be tehre for this. If you continue to push this, YOU are going to be the one with the breakdown and the trip to he psychiatric hospital. been there done that. The tshirt was UGLY and NOT worth the cost. School is NOT the only thing kids have to do. It sounds like your kids have a LOT of homework and chances are it is NOT worth the hassle. Read to them, find other ways to incorporate learning in their lives, but let the teacher do the schoolwork. YES, they CAN put 'no homework' into the IEP for your kids. Even if they say they cannot.
