Mum rewrites her daughter's sexist homework shaming mums who go back to work 😂

Lynne Polvino was less than impressed with the exercise her six-year-old daughter Hazel had been given, due to the fact that it blatantly shamed working mothers.The task involved pupils filling out missing words from a story entitled "Back to Work".It described a "terrible" morning, in which Lisa had to wash her own dishes and her father made breakfast - which was described as "not too good".

: "It just pushed so many buttons for me. And with each sentence it managed to get worse! My shock and dismay quickly turned to outrage."In this day and age, we're going to tell kids that mothers working outside the home make their children and families unhappy? That fathers don't normally do things like cook and wash the dishes?

She updated the piece to state that Lisa's father made a "very good" breakfast, and that Lisa wondered if she'd be an "engineer like mummy" when she's older.FacebookLynne was praised on social mediaThe rewrite has since gone viral, with both mums and dads supporting Lynne's stance. An impressed dad wrote: "You are my hero as we are trying to teach our children that we are partners.
