We’ve just started Kindergarten. Not only do I hate the school run (so monotonous and it is EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. What the fuck is that about?) but I really bloody hate reading and flashcards every evening. Ever tried to get a just-turned-4 child to read a book when they’re so tired they want to curl up and sob? It’s painful. Every. Single. Day. I hate homework. Am ordering this book, and having it delivered to my Headteacher!!
