And last, what is one thing you hope comes easy to your LOs?
What comes easy:
Book smarts
Avoiding debt
Education/career perseverance
Joking- about anything!
Compassion
What comes hard:
Moderation, in anything.
Household management/ cleaning
Being affectionate
Taking care of my health
Style/ decorating
And for my daughter, I guess I hope she has her Dad's family's ease with making healthy choices with no angst. Eating, exercise, moderation- it's all easy for them.
What about you?

@lizzywiz: I was waivering back and forth if parenting was easy or hard and I figured that I have been able to figure out almost everything on my own and have been able to trust my instincts. On the other hand, at times, I want to walk out the door because i'm so tired and overwhelmed LOL.

Easy:
• The "arts" subjects. Writing, history, art, music...
• Parenting, for the most part
• Jumping in to other cultures head first and just figuring it out.
Hard:
• The "technical" subjects. Math, science. Which is tricky because I have a ton of classes in epidemiology, genetics, and pharmacology for my midwifery degree that I'm a little scared of. 
• Social skills in my own culture. I get social anxiety here, partially because of TCK syndrome.
• Perfectionism. Which causes procrastination.

these are such interesting answers! I wonder if anyone had anything that used to be hard for them and is now easy? Or vice versa?
