Ok so I'm looking for some advice my oldest started kindergarten and has homework. They want him to complete his worksheets he didn't during the day as a form of habit saying if he does his work he will have time for other things. They also want a reading log. One hour a night of math games and sight word games that is one on one.

Here is our reality I'm a solo parent during the week my husband works so much he isn't home before the kids go to bed. My oldest has to go to bed at 6:30 PM because of his bussing. He has to be up at 5:30 and his bus comes at 6:10. So he has long days and needs sleep.

Because I am solo with three kids 5, 3, 1 I do my best but I cannot devote an hour to my oldest alone. Between one night of hockey, dinner, baths, reading a book I'm doing my best. I sent an email to his teacher he is only home 3 hours a night. Also he started hitting his head the first night of homework. So I made the choice to not do it.

None of our friends kids have homework at five and I believe kids should have unscheduled time too. Weekends are packed with family stuff so it isn't a good time either. Am I being unreasonable? I'm just burned out.
