[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for your messages. My husband will not even build basic furniture so I am the one who does it even though I grew up in a house where women just didn’t do this stuff. I know, that’s a really low bar but I’m at least better than the other women in my family. I’ve tried to get my kid involved in building the side table and desk for his own room but he just didn’t care. It was like pulling teeth. My family lives on the other side of the country and because my brother is aware that my son lacks these skills he sent my son a 3-D printer (after consulting him) and it’s been 4 months and it’s still not finished. This is a kid that attends a magnet program in the sciences so there is simply no excuse except laziness and just lack on interest. Thank you for the tip about the drivers permit. He will be eligible for that this summer and I’ll see if my brother can teach him all that. Maybe me too![/quote]
