[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they are trying to avoid the other thread - why don’t boys have any life skills. Interesting to see the difference in comments from each one of the threads. Here they are teaching life skills = horrible parents. The other thread asking why no one has life skills = horrible parents. [/quote] You teach life skills by letting them do things and fail/succeed as the chips fall, not by giving them a task list. The only requirement my teens had was to have a job. They already knew they needed to wash their own dishes, laundry, and take out trash as needed. I didn't have to micromanage them with a check list, since they grew up doing those things. They exercised and woke up on their own. I didn't need to regulate times to sleep/wake up or anything to that extent. You do that when they are much younger. [/quote]
