[quote=Anonymous]Can't think of any. Maybe cooking, but I don't care for it a lot. The skills I do have however were not taught by my parents. Learned to ride a bike on my own, to ride a horse (went to competitions as a teenager) and learned to swim on my own. I drive well, parallel park well and can drive a stick shift. Learned 6 languages through 1-12. It was part of schooling. None of them were spoken at home and parents couldn't help me with them. Finances? Was always counting my kopeks as a kid and got a finance degree in US. Physical work is still valued and it has kept my parents in shape. Didn't grow up with different classes of people, so it never occurred to me that physical work might show lower class. It showed and still shows hard working people. There's nothing they could've taught me that I miss now. I just wish I'd have an eye for style, but I don't. I can't get 2 pillows to match. [/quote]
