My wife taught both our daughters-in-law sewing, knitting, crocheting, you name it. She taught both our sons to cook and I don’t mean TV dinners. Our youngest son cooks at least half of his family’s meals; his wife is in law enforcement and sometimes has odd hours so it really helps to have a husband/father who can take care of the kids needs.
My DILs were not interested in my * GASP * old timey advice.
I made my boys take Home Ec in high school. I think after they both graduated it was no longer offered as an elective.
Every girl my boys dated couldn’t iron. Or clean. Or cook. Or bake. Or sew. Or clean ( yes, mentioned TWICE ). Then they married women that couldn’t either. If I had not taught them to be self sufficient, they would be doomed. How does one not teach their kids to be self sufficient ? It’s crazy.
Both are divorced. They weren’t looking to replace Mom, they really wanted partners in life except the women today are taught you don’t need a partner. Some are taught you work therefore you deserve not to work at home. Plus being domestic is considered an outsourcing problem and looked upon as servitude. Imagine that.
