[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um, I don't consider cleaning and laundry essential life skills. I consider the essential skills to be communicating, problem solving, networking. I have higher hopes for DC's. [/quote] I hope you’re not my kids’ future MIL or FIL. Everyone should be able to take care of themselves and maintain their belongings. It is not at the expense of learning how to communicate or problem solve. Frankly my kids learn how to problem solve by helping us do chores or fix things. My dh was fascinated by motors as a kid and ran a lawnmower repair business as a teen. He’s basically the carburetor whisperer; he blows on them and then engines start up. Served him well, as he is an engineer now. [/quote] I’m sure PP doesn’t want your doofus spawn (who apparently require years of careful training to operate a washing machine or a vacuum cleaner) for her SIL/DIL either. She’s probably hoping for smart, capable grandkids someday.[/quote]
