My son was taught how to manage his finances, cook a meal, basic auto mechanics, hunting/fishing/ how to shoot, personal responsibility, basic woodworking/plumbing/electrical … all by the time he was 14. He is now a responsible, functional anomaly amongst his peers. Their parents always remark how “well adjusted” he is. Nah! We had kids late in life and us old coots take shit from no one. He had discipline and a strong sense of right and wrong by the time he left high school.

There is still a small glimmer of hope from those who will be leading the world from the upcoming generation.

Helpless? Nope. I have control of what I can control. And, will dispatch that which I can’t.

It took a lot of time and effort but we’re good.

I totally Agree, MD. We Did have to know all that basic stuff. These young kids are Screwed if they don’t make learning the basics an absolute priority👍🇺🇸
