I've completely set my kids up for failure
I work 2 jobs. My husband passed away 6 years ago so I had to take on a lot. To ease stress I hired a house keeper and my boys would usually eat out. My eldest son is graduating next month and turns 18 in July. I started thinking about the things I taught him.... Nothing. So I asked him what he knew.
Me: Do you know how to do laundry
Him: No
Me: Balance a check book
Him: What's a check book
Me: Change a tire
Him: Nope. Scared the cars gonna fall
Me: cook dinner
Him: I literally have no idea where groceries come from.
Me: You have a permit. How's your driving coming along
Him: Very very bad.
Me: Do you at least know the proper way to put on a damn condom
Him: I've never sex so I didn't actually even go to sex Ed. So why bother?
Well fuck.... I'm about to release an adult into this world knowing nothing and I feel so guilty. My other boys are a bit younger so I got time but I hate it took my realizing my oldest is about to be put into the real world and I failed him.
