TikToker Lottie Weaver recently shared that she does her children’s homework for them. She explained that she does this so her kids can avoid stress. The video she posted was called “Controversial things we do as parents.” Not surprisingly, people had a lot of opinions on the matter.
Should Parents Help Children With Homework?
Apart from doing her children’s homework, the mother also normalizes PDA (public display of affection) with her husband in their household. She not only “assists” her kids with their homework but finishes all the tasks for them, especially if they are busy or in a rush. Lottie explains that the reason behind her decision is the fact that she doesn’t want her daughters to feel stressed over math problems.
The TikToker realizes this might not be the right thing to do, but she is not planning to stop helping. Plus, some of the school projects seem to be too difficult for her children. She even blamed some teachers for expecting too much from seven-year-old kids.
How Did People React?
The video has almost 350,000 views, and, of course, people were quick to share their opinion. Many parents admitted they also helped their children with homework and were happy they weren’t the only ones. Lots of people supported Lottie’s decision as well.
The majority of the comments were quite positive. Some others shared that they didn’t see the point of homework since kids have to spend hours in school every day anyway. Many also praised Weaver for the way she was raising her kids. Some even expressed their wish to be like her when they become parents. So, what do you think? Is this the right approach to raising children? Or should we let them try their hardest and manage their homework themselves?
