[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a college aged nanny as a live in during COVID.  I bought her a new mattress and lugged it into her room about a month in.  She slept on the bare mattress for two weeks before telling me she didn't know how to put sheets on and needed help.[/quote]

So you hired a very unintelligent nanny. She could’ve easily figured it out if she’d tried or she could’ve even googled it if she really didn’t get it. This sounds made up. [/quote]
Yeah, she was AAP and attending a top 50 college before taking a break for COVID. (She was a science major and didn't want to take virtual labs ).

She also asked for directions to use the world's simplest toaster.

Yes, that’s true, when it comes to things that are actually sometimes tricky to do like budgeting, saving/investing wisely, getting the right health insurance, buying a good used car, doing basic home repairs, basic car repairs, etc things that adults actually struggle with. [b]Adults don’t struggle with putting sheets on a bed or using a toaster unless they are intellectually challenged or have other actual issues keeping them from doing basic tasks[/b].[/quote]

+1. Adults also don’t struggle with making their own lunch. It’s just not a hard thing to learn or do. So stop acting like you need to have your kids making their own lunch in 1st grade so they don’t become adults incapable of making a lunch. That’s nutty. [/quote]
