I don’t enjoy homework, but I always do it. I don’t receive an allowance for doing it, but I do it to contribute to the household in the only way I am capable of doing. It doesn’t take all that long which is nice, maybe just an hour or so once I get home. I am fine with doing homework because no matter what part of your life you are analyzing you will always find that it retains some aspect of work, so of course there is going to be some work in the place where you spend the most time. You have to do this work to make sure that the place you spend the majority of your time is clean and livable. Oh wait… you meant school work that is designed to be done at home? So you mean to tell me that I get eight hours home, eight hours asleep, and eight hours at school… and somehow school wants to get a portion of that home/sleep time? that is ridiculous.
