[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not like there’s some genetic reason you and your husband aren’t handy, you’ve just never bothered to learn. If you want your kid to be handy, someone needs to teach him. The simplest way for that to happen is for you to learn to do projects alongside him. Next time a project comes up around the house, do the research to figure it out and work together with him to do it.[/quote] This is exactly it. You just have to start doing stuff instead of outsourcing. Between my wife and I, we can do just about everything that needs to be done. Since YouTube, it's never been easier to acquire a new skill. Our kids are learning because they think it's normal to do everything yourself. [/quote]
