About Kristin R.
Kristin is a recent Lee’s Summit suburb transplant, after living in the Brookside and Plaza areas for over eight years. Raising two young boys with her husband, Jake, has helped her to embrace the messy, wild side of life where love is expressed in bear hugs and body slams. Professionally, she can be found teaching classes as an adjunct professor in the areas of Business, Marketing and PR. She is able to provide her students with applicable, real-life knowledge as she draws from several years working in the corporate sector. “Free time” (ha!, what's that again?) is spent on an occasional date night to favorite local restaurants, reading blogs on everything from home design to politics, riding her sweet beach cruiser bike and thinking of ways to convince her husband to do yet another home improvement project.

This is a terrible bio. I bet this lady is exceptionally annoying.

This only rates a 4/7 on the scale of annoying mommmyblogger bios.

Yeah, I think you might be closer to correct.

Why My Elementary School Kids Won't Be Doing Their Homework

oh dis b right here

She is definitely only taking this stand on homework so that she can mommyblog about it.

I mostly agree w/ that lady but could do without the gigantic red square bullet points and even more gigantic self-righteousness

Mrs. Gooch · « **Reply #260 on:** May 23, 2016, 08:50:10 AM »

I don't understand. What is that lady going to do when her kids don't pass the grade they are in?

Brock Landers · « **Reply #261 on:** May 23, 2016, 09:22:12 AM »

All of her giant red square bullet points are stuff that normal parents do with their kids anyway, after they are done with their homework obviously.

Her kids play outside, play inside with video games and Legos, and create art? WOW! No other kids do this at all!!

One of her kids is in second grade. What grade do they start taking homework into account?

Fedor · « **Reply #265 on:** May 23, 2016, 10:17:58 AM »

In fact, as a professor...

That was my favorite part. Saying she had to give homework because she only had those kids for a few hours per week, but her kids are in school all day.

I don't know, exactly. My third grader is pretty lax about homework and would definitely pass if she never turned it in. Depends on the school and the teacher and the kid.

There's a lot of pressure on schools to stop homework for elementary kids and I think there are a lot of teachers that hate it as much as the kids and parents and wouldn't assign it if they didn't have to.

Grade school kids shouldn't have homework anyway.

Kids in China have like three hours a day of homework.

Pussification of America. We need 4 hours of homework to catch back up with the Chinese.

Dear stranger who disciplined my kiddo at the playground today,

Woah woah woah, lemme get this straight. So today your daughter was trying to do the monkey bars? Okay, got it. And my kid was trying to do the monkey bars too? Simple enough. But since your kiddo is new to the monkey bars and takes forever and sometimes gets scared and stops right in the middle, my son had no choice but to go past her and sometimes bump her a little and she would fall and be all sensitive and start crying? Hmmm. Alrighty then.

Now before I continue, I just want to say that yes, I know I should have been there when this all went down, but unfortunately I was on the other side of the playground with my son’s friend who was crying. So no, I wasn’t there, but does that give you a right to discipline my kiddo? Does that give you the right to talk to him sternly and tell him to knock it off? Does that give you the right to act like you are the person in charge when he is actually MY child?

Ummmm, yes. YES IT DOES.

I didn’t get the chance to say this today, but THANK YOU. Because if my kid is acting like a douchenugget and I’m not around for whatever reason, you have my permission to tell him to knock that crap off. I’m not saying you have the right to touch him in any way or yell at him uncontrollably (only I’m allowed to do that), but please feel free to tell him to stop being a jerkwad if he’s not waiting his turn to do the monkey bars. Or if he’s walking up the slide. Or if he’s throwing wood chips. Or if he’s saying bad words. Or being a bully. Or doing anything that he shouldn’t be doing that’s bothering someone else.

Because even if you aren’t his parent, you are the adult. Which means you are smarter than he is. And yeah, I know there are probably a-holes out there who would be all pissy about some stranger getting mad at their kiddo, but not me.

It takes a village. And these days our village might be a little bigger and more spread out and we don’t all sleep in side-by-side huts or ride in covered wagons or gather around the campfire at night and we don’t even all know each other, but we can either choose to have a village or not. And I choose to have a village.

I’m sorry I wasn’t there to do my job, so thank you for helping me do it.

Sincerely,

“That” kid’s mom

For some reason it really irritates me when people use the word "kiddo".

P.S. Just use the word kid, it is shorter.
P.P.S. Enough with these I am going to seem like I have one position at the beginning but then "HA ha surprise" I actually have the opposite position.
P.P.P.S. Stop being so desperate to get people to follow you.
