[quote=Anonymous]My DH is super handy—handy is almost an insult to what he can do. But he is the first person to say that anyone can learn to do these things, especially now, with so much information easily available online. Cultivate that mindset, that we *can* learn to do handy things, work with them on examples of that, and go from there. Also, you should learn how to swim and make sure your kids do. That’s a life-saving skill. Bike riding, while not life-saving, can be freeing, and is also learnable at all ages. Skiing, meh. Sports for rich people aren’t essential (and I say this as a former rower, which is one of the most absurdly elitist sports out there).[/quote]
