You're so right Joyce, it does get easier but for some reason i always manage to forget one seem allowance somewhere.
Math is funny to me. I stink at it yet my older daughter is a whiz, she's taking all of the math classes in high school that i never made it to. My younger daughter unfortunately has my math genes and the way they do math now is nothing like what i was taught at her age. In fact, my older daughter wasn't taught the same way. Nothing is the same as when i went to school, they don't even teach handwriting or cursive anymore. Chicken scratch is apparently acceptable since everyone types now.
