Didn't miss it, and it doesn't contradict my post.
I'll repeat Sild's question. Aren't there things that you think your kids need to know before they move out of the house?
That is certainly true, but what baffles me is the idea that learning these things before leaving home is somehow detrimental or even cruel to the children. Surely it is nice to know how to take care of yourself. I am trying to understand why anyone would consider this a bad thing. Can you learn "on the job"? Sure. But why would it be bad not to have to do that?
Also, my reason for teaching dd some basics like that was not so much that I thought she would starve once on her own if I didn't. It was more to teach her that she did not need me or anyone else to take care of her. I think that is quite empowering for a kid, but obviously several posters here disagree.
Yes, good point. This goes for many things that parents teach their kids, I think.
But then, I have a 50+ cookbook collection.
