Her daughter would, despite her protests, simply have to go to school the next day, empty-handed, and face the consequences of forgetting her homework.

"I refuse to be my daughter's school diary through a Whatsapp group, I refuse to be the one doing the homework, I refuse to go back to school and I refuse to be over-protective to the point of taking over her responsibilities"

"I hope this article will make a lot of those parents who do 'everything' for their kids think," one user, 'Tatinati', comments on the blog.

You mess up, you face the consequences. Easy as that. Today children seem to lack this experience, simply because their parents are overprotective and assume that everybody else is wrong, but not their child. Later in life, this will make it only more difficult for them.
