Parents today can’t even teach their kids how to sweep a floor or use the washing machine.
A friend used to lead a youth group. One day, he handed a broom to a young man of about 10 years old to sweep an area of the dining hall.
He returned a few minutes later to see the boy standing and holding the broom.
He asked why he wasn’t sweeping and the boy replied that he didn’t know how.
Once I was tall enough to reach over the sink, my folks had me wash the dishes after dinner every night. Later my younger sister joined me in the task. Same thing for washing our clothes. My mother taught me how cook, sew (ie repair clothing), and clean house. My father taught me how repair the house (carpentry, plumbing, electrical), repair our vehicles and work in the yard. They both taught me to honor God, respect the military and my elders, and love my country. I was a very self-sufficient young man by the time I left to go off on my own and I thank God every day in my prayers for what they taught me.
