I have these kids that come to work for me at the club.
They have never washed a dish, don't know how to sweep the floor, can't microwave their own lunch...
How do these kids grow up?
How do their parents expect them to be able to function as adults?
I was taught that if a kid didn't know how to stich on a button and cook even the simplest of things (toast, scrambled egg...) then their parents didn't do their job. After all, these are basic survival skills that everyone has to do at least once in their lives no matter if they live in the woods or NYC!
[unless, of course, they have enough money to pay someone else to do it (and, even then, what about the maid's day off?)]
These used to be every day, basic survival skills a parent taught their kids. And, if not the parents, the school.
What happened to basic survival skills?
And how do we get them back?
