[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do worry someone who's lived with her parents and never worked doesn't know how to take care of herself at all.  Like even a SAHM should understand budgets, home maintenance and such. And other things like, does she do a full share of chores, actually know how to shop, budget, meal plan and cook?

Look I think any adult, male or female, should have these skills, but if her plan is to be a housewife/sahm, she needs to really pull her weight on these issues.[/quote]

I know quite a few women of my generation (40-50 yo now) who went straight into their husbands’ houses but it was not in the U.S. 
for some of them it was an adjustment but they mostly did fine :)[/quote]

I mean, sure one of my grandmothers got married at 18, but her parents owned a farm.  Of course she knew how to cook and take care of things. Whereas I met plenty of people in college in the 2000s who didn't know how to cook or do their laundry.  I'd say it's much more likely a 24 year old today who's never left home doesn't know how to cook or take care of a house.

And my grandmothers in the 1940s both had jobs before they got married.  This woman appears to have never had a job.[/quote]
