[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]15 and 17. They do laundry. Can sort of/ survival cook. But writing an email in a semi-professional circumstance? I have to walk them through it. [/quote] -- The email thing was important to me, so I started training him on that in high school. a complicated illness made it easy to find opportunities to practice because he had a ton of communication with teachers to accomplish. He is in college now but sometimes checks in with drafts. It is good he knows the importance of getting feedback on drafts and I look forward to the day it isn't from me. His missing life skill is "how to decide when not to be ridiculously frugal." He gets himself into trouble by not spending money he has (or we would happily spend) when he should -- like for a meal when he is stuck at school due to flight issues but the cafeteria is closed, or paying for computer repair.[/quote]
