In a lot of the California schools I’ve worked at, they do teach these things. I think they are really great skills that I wish were taught when I was in school.

Unfortunately there’s a lot of conservative push back and a movement to get these topics out of school.

These are grown adults in their 40s. You really think the mom should just forever be their maid? Even at the age of 75?

At some point they just have to take responsibility for themselves. Even if they have to, or want to live at home, they should absolutely be contributing if they are able bodied.

I think it goes the other way too. For people that tend to apologize too much, even when it’s not their fault, mixing in a “thanks for your patience” is a good way to balance it out a bit.
