[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Modern times. It’s the norm. My adult niece came over last week, and really had a hard time with basic tasks. She doesn’t even know how to properly make a cup of coffee. She doesn’t know how to cook anything, and forgets how to do laundry. She can’t even put sheets on the bed. She’s 27.[/quote] That's women's work and modern parents don't want to teach boys or girls how to do any of that.[/quote] Huh? I don’t think so. I think it’s UMC parents doing everything for their kids so their kids can focus on school, sports, and other ECs and get into college, while missing out on essential life skills and experiences. [/quote] Yep. I will occasionally do chores for my teens when they have especially busy days, but also ask them to do my chores on days work is especially busy for me. Running a household is a family effort.[/quote]
