...he left me to figure it out. I found them all. To this day, I still change my own oil in both vehicles....and I am now 68 and female.

Great story! Just this morning I found out my son figured out and fixed on his own a fairly complex mechanical problem, after I had tried and failed. I was so proud of him!

Things were different when we graduated from HS or College.
There was a draft to face..so you couldn’t mess around doing nothing. Responsibility to face up to caused kids to grow up quicker.
Tuition was lower before the big lending programs to “help”.
Summer jobs paid good money before illegals.
Now kids graduate from college with debt,,have never really had a real job and can mess around while they “find themselves”. There would be a lot higher pay and mess unemployment and less govt spending if all the illegals were gone. If the Reagan democrats figure this out..look out RATS.
