Is it normal that my dad used to do my homework for me when i was in school?

Supermarmee- well of course she leaves it until the last minute, because she knows you'll do it for her! You are teaching your kid to be incrediblly reliant on you and not do anything for herself. If she doesn't do a project and fails, who cares? She's NINE. Her grades don't count yet. But at this age what does count is basic time management and prioritizing. Skills you're depriving her of learning.

some ppl dont know how to help their kids. I really think he had the best intentions but didn't predict the out come.

My daughter is 9. She always tells me at the last minute that she has to do a speech or project. She panics and sounds very similar to you. I'm sorry to say, but I do her speeches for her when she hasn't done them and they have needed to be in the next day... Same with her 'build an indigenous home' project. But I do them because I never wanted her to get an F or something for not doing it. She is always leaving things until the last minute and that is not my fault. I just always want to give her the best. Maybe that's what your dad wA trying to do??? Did you not want to do your homework? When you say, you want things to be perfect or just don't think it is worth doing? Were you like that as a kid? Or did your dad want your work to be perfect? I've now gotten to the point where I can't be bothered, shy should I do her work for her, she doesn't care if it is done or not... And never appreciated how hard I worked to help her get good grades. So if she can't tell me she needs to do it earlier than the day before, she can suffer the consequences!!! I do my best... Put yourself in your dad's shoes... Would you do or help your kids, if or when you have any? I hope you sort this out:) and hope I have helped?

My dad did it too....and he WAS very intelligent...on most things, except he kept fucking up my math homework lol.

I have issues as well. Good old fucking parents. But I'm poor and can't afford mental help right now...kind of sucks.

my mother never sewed my felt duck with blanket stitch thats why it was the worst in the room

I have always done my son's colouring in homeworks for him as he outright refuses to do them.

The things we parents do for peace!

It sounds like your dad was quite controlling and wanted what you present to the world to be a standard he approved of. It's no wonder you have self-esteem issues. I hope you work your way through this.

@ Slytherin. How do you think I am depriving her? I haven't intentionally deprived Her of anything. And you don't know that the grades don't count. Her school has mentioned keeping her back a year, I don't want that for her, then she won't be with her friends. And I wasn't commenting for your ridicule, I commented to help. I didn't ask what you thought about it, I was just sharing my thoughts on a similar place I'm at and also from a parent view. Which by your name, I doubt very much that you are?

well my dad use to do my word search puzzles but it didnt affect me. So ya..
