Vogue Williams has shared a relatable struggle many parents face: helping her six-year-old son with maths homework. On her podcast My Therapist Ghosted Me, she described how her evenings now involve relearning school lessons alongside her children.
Vogue, mother to Theodore (6), Gigi (4), and Otto (3), explained to co-host Joanne McNally:
"I'm back at school though because of the kids. So I'm like relearning with them for their homework. I can do Gigi's homework alright. It's Theodore's I'm struggling with a bit. I'm not even joking."
Her honest admission resonated widely:
Year one maths can seem straightforward until parents try to explain it. The terminology and methods often seem unfamiliar, requiring multiple approaches compared to when parents were children themselves.
"We don't talk enough about the trauma of a parent sitting with their child trying to teach them maths," comedian Joanne McNally reflected, reacting to a recently seen meme.
This highlights how parenting homework struggles affect many and can be unexpectedly tough despite good intentions.
