[quote=Anonymous]It takes less time to sew on a button than it does to arrange for someone else to sew a button / drop off items. I worked somewhere where we had teens who grew up in 'outsourced' homes. Handed them sheets to make the beds and they looked at me with confusion. Same thing when asked to go do laundry - many had never worked a washer/dryer. Even dishes for some was a stretch. A few were great cooks, other couldn't even boil water. It was pretty obvious that most grew up in homes where these types of 'lifeskills' were deemed very unimportant, with families likely assuming their own kids would also have sufficient money that they would not have to do their own domestic work.
