[quote=Anonymous]Do you use those woodworking and mechanic skills, OP? I'm 43, too, and took those classes as well, but junior high was a long time ago. The first and last time I soldered something was a tin lamp in 1985. If I'd struck out on my own at 18, Im pretty sure that wouldn't have saved me from disaster. I'm guessing we have dramatically different worldviews, which is fine, but I don't understand lamenting that your engaged 18yo is ill prepared for life because she didn't have home ec and woodworking in school. If she was with you every other weekend, you could have worked on that stuff then if it is so incredibly important to adulthood. Or maybe you can tell her she can't get married until she can sew a seam perfectly. [/quote]
