Our Friday evening routine
Daughter crashed through the front door fifteen minutes ago. Shoes and socks deposited on the doormat. PE bag in the corner where it was thrown, its grubby contents spilling out.
Now starts the race to finish all her homework before dinner. If it is maths or French I may be called upon for assistance. In half an hour I will knock on her door and attempt to separate girl from school uniform so I have a full washing load. I will receive a scowl in return 馃槄
If all goes according to plan, homework will be completed by 6.30pm and our weekend will start in earnest 馃槍
