Just a little food for
thought.
"i'm 13 and my parents do my
washing. it isn't sad that people's parents do their
washing.
you can't move out until you're 18 anyway so you don't
need to know how to."
Well, to be honest-- I do not oppose people who have parents still
do their washing. I just think
that it'd be nice if you learn how to do your own washing at
this age of like 13 or something. But
saying that "you don't need to know how to" just
contradicts the topic that I'm going to explain
right now.
You have hands and arms that are capable to fold your own laundry.
So, learn how to be independent.
I mean, I started foldin my laundry even before I was thirteen. I
just started to fold multiple loads in
a day when I was thirteen. And now, 14 going to 15, I already know
how to issue my own check if I
needed it, learn how to help pay the bills at least in case my mom
needed to pay bills through the
computer. 10 years old, I clean up the whole entire house. Mopping,
sweeping, dusting, you name it.
Your mother and father will not be there to help you when
you've flew out of the nest. It doesn't matter
if you're not 18 yet. You should learn how to be independent
and start learning how to do things on
your own, rather than learning it last minute. We are young and
your brain can take a full on capacity
of so much knowledge.
At least cut the slack for your mother and father. So when they get
home from work, they don't have to
worry about anything but relax. It will at least show how grateful
you are and considerate to at least let
your parents rest. Because next thing you know, they're not
gonna be folding your laundry and you'll be
doing that yourself. Nobody is gonna cook for you when you move
out. Nobody will wash your dishes or
clean the house. That's all on you.
So basically, what I'm trying to say is: it's better to
learn right now when your capable of doing things.
Don't wait until you're 18 to be independent. Learn how to
be independent now instead of just waiting
till the last minute. If you move out without learning any of these
essential chores/skills, then I don't know
how you're gonna make it out alive.
