Homework issue again

Few weeks ago he was still fine with his homework but recently the situation changed. He was very slow and day dream when doing his homework. Just a simple few words he can take ages to finish it.

Today he needs to write the Chinese character, he informed mother that he wanted to take a nap first. Ok the deal was on and before he slept he requested mother to read the story book to him. When mother finished reading the book he bargained for more. He seemed like doesn't want to take the nap. Instead wanting mother to continue reading and reading. Mother rejected him knowing that without nap time it would even be more difficult for him to finish his homework. He wailed a bit then he fell asleep.

When he woke up he still refused and made funny action doing his homework. At last mother gave up and said to wait after the dinner and daddy comes back to guide him. After everything was settled, mother quickly bathed him and brought him to the room and asked him to finish what he promised then mother went to take a bath. After the bath, mother went into the room and found out actually not any progress on the homework. He was doing other things instead. Mother was angry with his attitude and said she will not take care and ask him to do the homework anymore. Is his choice not to do that then he needs to take the consequence of it. He was afraid and tried but he seemed like having no concentration at all of doing that. He waited until his daddy walked into the room. He constantly asked daddy to sit beside him to accompany him but he was doing funny action again.

Daddy was out of patient after asking him so many times to write the word and walked away. He was like the boy who cried wolf asking his daddy if he sits beside him then he will write it. After few attempts daddy felt like being cheated then daddy was really mad at him. So the next action was to beat him. He cried non stop and mother also cannot stand his attitude so we collected the homework and banned him from doing his homework. We told him that we will let him not able to hand over the homework to the teacher next morning. He wailed even louder and begged for the homework then we rejected his request. We told him that we gave him so many chances but he did not appreciate it so he has to bear his choice.

He even refused to sleep and walked around the room. Mother erased all his Chinese characters that he wrote because his words were like scribble on the book. Mother gave him the last chance after he said sorry and that time was already 11 something. Mother did her own stuff , Ethan was doing his homework. Half way through mother cannot stand anymore so he needs to complete his homework without anybody accompanying him. Seemed like he had learned his lesson so he wrote it nicely and completed it but that time was already 12 in the midnight....

Now we need to see whether he learned the lesson or not. The result only can be shown in Thursday as normally Wednesday he will not have any homework because every Wednesday is his school fun and sport day.
