Homework

Since Andrea started going to school, it feels like I went back to school again. I would help her do her homework religiously every night and read books with her. I would wake-up with her every morning and make sure that all her stuffs are in her bag. I would volunteer at school and help out with school activities with Fifi in tow. I am enjoying all of it though and I am proud to be a supportive mom to my daughter.

I make sure though that she learns to be independent as well. I don't want her to get used to having me around to help her with stuff. Every night now, instead of being there the entire time while she answers her Algebra problems, I just let her be and checks it when she's done. Sometimes she would ask me if she needs help Solving algebra problems. It helped her be more independent and it makes her more proud of her homework. I remembered back then when I was in college that I have nobody to help me solve my College algebra problems. It would have been nice if I have somebody to call when I had such a hard time answering them.
