8 exam survival tips for parents
Updated | By tanstan fourie
1. Put the kid up for adoption
2. Eat all their junk food and feed them lettuce and fish
3. Play their PlayStation/Xbox games for them
4. If they come to you for advise on maths, boast about how much you don’t know about the subject, laugh in their faces and walk away
5. Be careful how you phrase things. The simplest questions could push them over the edge. For example who ate all the fruit? If mom bought 6 apples and sister had two and son had one and dad had one, how many apples should be left?
6. Switch the geyser off the night before to ensure they get that fresh wake-me up shower before they go off to write that important paper
7. Drop them off at the library to study and when they ask what are you doing today; tell them you will be watching the latest action movie they love and will be eating ice cream and pizza.
8. You order fast food to be delivered three times a day and every time the food is delivered you say: ‘Sweety please go get the pizza from that other guy who didn’t finish school’
Some of the parents who read this might have a different opinion, so we want to hear from you!
