    Here I am trying to finish my daughter's homework when I really need to be watching the football.

    Does anyone know of a website that lists news headlines by month for the last year? A genius answer will mean I don't have to go page by page through the last year's news. I just need the headlines.

    Any thoughts?

    Hahahaha this is great. Someone expects someone else to do someone else's homework.

    Did you leave her in a car alone for 40 minutes earlier today by any chance?

    Despite moral implications, is this what you're looking for?

    Wiki! Who would have guessed? Many thanks. And there are zero moral implications to worry about trust me.

    Speaking of homework, I had some bastarding stuff when I was about 9. English homework, my ma rang my uncle (an English teacher), and he hadn't a clue either.

    True story.

    Because she has sh1tloads of homework to do, 3 hours so far, and I said I'd help her with this part. I'm also a great dad!

    Google Archive.

    And it's nice to see a parent doing their child's homework. It means you must really love her since she'll probably never get an education, job, or move out. You must wanna keep her around supporting her until you die.

    What did she have to do for this bit of homework? Out of curiousity.

    FYP and thanks for caring!

    3 hours to do her homework? I think she needs more than Daddys help....

    That depends on her age, TBH.
    If she's in primary school, then, that's probably a fair comment.
    At secondary level, though, it's not all that uncommon. All it takes is for two teachers to give a project for homework on the same night, add in the homework for other subjects - and three hours worth stacks up in no time.........

    Too much work for an 11 year old.


    One of my primary school teachers was in favour of lengthening the school day, adding to and lengthening the breaks during school, including a daily PE session, and getting rid of homework entirely.

    Smart woman.

    Adding too much regular homework to confirmation homework makes for a ludicrous workload IMHO. I'm happy to help and the bonus is that it confirms her suspicion that I'm cool.

    What's confirmation homework? I can only remember one piece of sacrament-related homework I ever had. Learn Zacchaeus was a Greedy Little Man.

    The nightmares persist. DAMN YOU ZACCHAEUS YOU GREEDY B*STARD!

    You gotta get your priorities straight. It's the Semi-Final of the Champions League.

    If my child was being tortured in the shed by a murderous sadist & I knew about it, I'd still watch the match.

    "When the rent they couldn't pay, he took la la la away"....

    Isn't it learning off religious info like the ten commandments and stuff? There was much more to it but clearly I didn't learn mine that well :p
