Hello, I am 20 years old and a young parent myself. I have to admit that I haven’t been very good at learning some of the basic things in life, like washing my face, legs, and feet. My parents never taught me these things when I was young. Furthermore, I was never taught how to cook or clean. There are so many things that my parents didn’t teach me, and I’m really grateful that my wife has been helping me learn as I come to understand that I don’t know certain things. It makes me feel a bit ashamed, but I really want to learn. So, please teach your kids how to bathe and live.
My wife and I just started watching “Your Honor” on Netflix. In the first episode, the judge’s son kills someone in a hit and run and comes home and tries to wash his bloody clothes. He doesn’t know how to use the washer and ends up flooding the laundry room.
I turned to my wife and said, “that’s why we insisted on teaching the kids to do their own laundry.”
If you’re doing it right, by the time your kids are 18, they should be able to take care of every basic task in the home on their own.

I was definitely expected to competently conceal my own felonies by 18, smdh.
As you should be!
If you can’t hide evidence before you can be tried as an adult, you deserve what you get.
