my 13 year old daughter just moved in with me from her moms (very excited) and while helping her with her home work tonight i was reminded of just how much i forgot from high school. I got as far as calculus in high school and was a solid b student but while helping her with her pre algebra i had to go online just to get a refresher course. it only reminded me that when i thought i was never gonna need to know this ever again in my life and the teacher told me i would he was actually was right lol.
same here.....

X2 I got custody of my 13 yr old twins in November, and like you I'm very excited about it. I helped the 1st few weeks with homework. I tried to pull my hair out and relized that I'm bald already. lol However my step son is just finishing college so when they need help they call him and he comes over and helps them.
