[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These answers are strange. Who cares if your son can do laundry or cook a meal for the family. That’s not a sign of independence. The most dependent kid could do that. [/quote] I'm so glad that your children are doing well. But, if you haven't noticed, people differ greatly in their abilities. Not everyone can run, no matter how hard they try. Heck, some people can't even walk. Similarly, not every child is capable of the same things - which is precisely what prompted the question. I hope you have more empathy for difference in the real world than you show here. I have three children whom we've raised basically the same, and they have different abilities. Similarly to a previous questioner, my teen boy is great at some things (in his case, academics, including organization and motivation) but needs to be shown step by step how to cook even the most basic thing multiple times.
