It’s All About Priorities…

A mother in Ontario has written a book to instruction her college age kids on the basics of life after one of them got scurvy while away at college.

We’re talking about “how to boil water”, “how to wipe your bum”, “how to vacuum (yes, you have to change the bag)” level stuff. 500+ pages of it.

Now, here’s the great part: She sees the fact that her children have absolutely no life-skills as a good thing.

You see, they were so busy doing important stuff that they never had time for plebian pursuits like learning how to live on your own.

It’s also about priorities. She’s more interested in letting her kids get their homework done so they can get into university than making them clean toilets.

“We’re trucking them around, trying to enrich their lives and feeding them in the McDonald’s drive thru. It takes time to teach them how to cook. It takes time to teach them how to properly clean the bedroom. None of us really have that time.”

Yeah. It’s all about priorities.

Sigh.
