PS Cali, I totally agree with you... I'd be on fire if my parents did that. However, the kids all know that the policy of the house is that schoolwork comes first and we are going to do whatever neccessary to help. My parents never had that policy and never ever once tried to help me with a project or paper... this is the difference between my angry reaction from my own kids. The girls basically kiss us when we help them. They ask for our help proofreading all the time.

We also told him earlier that we would be reading it and helping him. He blew us off. We told his teacher (with him there) that we would be helping him. So now, with him handing this paper in looking like it did, the teacher must think we're complete idiots.
