OP,

Most educated people would be worried their child was marrying so early, and perhaps having children before their studies and careers are fully fledged.

Most people do not worry that their barely adult children can sew or cook, because that is the nature of raising children, nowadays - scant attention is paid to these things.

You really seem to have stepped off a time capsule from the 18th century. I married "early" at 23, and my MIL walked me through one recipe from her culture, how to scrub zucchini (after I had served her gritty ones), and how to sew a button. Perhaps she moaned in private, who knows. But she was nothing less than supportive in my presence! I have great respect and affection for her.

I figured out on my own how to manage a household, and now I can cook complex dishes and sew my daughter's fancy Halloween get-ups. I'm darn proud of myself, I have to say!

My mother, who is 65, still does not know how to cook. It's all about motivation.
