While it's great to get involved and help your kids learn, the homework struggle is so very, very real when you're a parent. As we near the end of the school year, we'd like to take a moment to acknowledge the hilarious parents on Twitter who have given spot-on descriptions of the homework process. And remember, homework-free evenings are almost here.
My 7yo said he loves Friday more than anyone because he has no homework which is a lie because I love Friday more than anyone. NO HOMEWORK!

If you suffer from low blood pressure, I have a 2nd grader who needs help with her homework.

Wife tapped out. I'm hoping we get at least a C. The dog is on deck if this goes badly.
My 5yo's homework was to decorate a big, paper 4-leaf clover with things she feels lucky to have.

It took all my self-control not to shout "F*ck, yeah!" when my 4th grader told me they were done with homework for the year.

Hard to keep up the 'Daddy knows everything' pretence when you score 3 out of 5 on the 4yo's homework.

6 doing homework: mom, how much is 15-6? 11?
— IAMTHEMILK (@KatiaDBE) March 23, 2016
Me: no.
6: 10? 9? 8?...
Me: what is your system?
6: I usually ask dad.
Something I've learned as a parent is that doing homework sucked when I was a kid, but forcing your own kid do homework sucks so much worse

Listening to my kids argue about who has the most homework tonight sounds like I need to make a quick trip to the liquor store.

I have a pretty good career in business considering it just took me longer to check my kid's math homework than it took her to do it.

Parenting tip: "I have no homework" in 10 yr old boy speak means "I have a shit ton of homework that I will suddenly remember at bedtime."

Parents: don't give your child the answers to his homework. He needs to learn on his own that you don't know what you're talking about.

Doing homework with my kids reinforces what they learned in school each day and also that I f*cking hate doing homework.
