I watched my Dad replace the wax seal for a toilet, later I did it myself. I tried to teach my two daughters to do things (not the toilet) like yard work, but I ended up doing everything myself. My younger daughter almost ruined the engine in her car by running it almost totally out of oil- I showed her how to check her oil and where to put it in, and instead of catching on, I slowly watched her eyes glaze over. I put the oil in myself and checked it thereafter. Better than letting her ruin her engine🙄.At least the older one likes to learn new things and be a little more self-sufficient…
Well, some girls are handy and take to that stuff but I think most just won’t. Men at least have an innate interest in stuff like machines and tools, so there is something to get a boy fired up about, but to most girls it’s just nasty, dirty drudgery.
