After having a second child, I spent every day helping with homework until I was ready to have a heart attack.
My older child mistook “87” for “78,” while my younger one copied “b” and “d” the wrong way around ten times.
The doctor diagnosed me with moderate depression, but my husband said I was overreacting.
Then one day, I got so angry I collapsed, and a “ding” rang out in my mind
[Host on the verge of a breakdown while helping with homework. “Laid-Back Parenting and Prosperity System” activated.]
[Today's task: Help with homework without losing your temper. Reward: 200 yuan.]
From then on, I became the calmest mom in the village.
My older child got 28 points, and I smiled as I signed the paper: “You’ll do better next time.”
My younger child folded the test paper into a plane, and I applauded: “How creative!”
Then the System suddenly upgraded
[Hidden task: Make Dad help with homework once. Reward: 10,000 yuan.]
