I can't do anything

Most ppl are horrible OP and mumsnet is a good reflection of this. I’ve got dyspraxia and lots of things ppl find easy I struggle with as well it’s just how our brain is wired.
I could never ride a bike (balance is terrible) failed four driving tests ( coordination ) can cook basics can’t sew and not great at things such as make up and hair.
I used to give myself a hard time but with this condition it’s out of our control sadly a lot of ppl are unsympathetic yo this condition and just label you as not being a proper adult.

🤣🤣🤣

I'm going to tell on you! 🤣🤣

I can't text with both thumbs. I see people doing this all the time really quickly, but it makes me even slower as it doesn't feel right, guess I'm just not coordinated enough 😕

I can't roller skate, skateboard or ice skate.

Mother was an exceptional ice skater but alas I didn't inherit that skill.

I can ride a bike and ski though.

Depressing. Please learn to do some of these things op.

Classic! Perfect response 😂😂

I completely agree, the responses would have been very different if this had been posted about someone’s partner. If a man had posted it he’d have been ripped to shreds.

I can’t:

Blow up balloons.
Get my head round weights / quantities / measurement.
Estimate distances / heights.
Sew.
Knit.
Bake.
Plait hair.
Paint nails.
Understand chess.
Remember any card games.
Visualise things in my ‘minds-eye’.
Draw things without copying (although can copy unbelievably accurately).
Understand the guitar.
Process two sources of noise.
Roller-skate
Ice-skate
Ski
Understand the appeal of Towie, MiC etc 😂

I'm not great with DIY. Although posting on here actually talked me through sanding and painting my windowsills and I was so proud they were done!! Never used a drill

My smoke alarm failed and I couldn't work out how to disconnect it from the mains and install a new one so my neighbour did it

I'm great at being calm in medical emergencies so if your leg is hanging off then call me. If you need something drilling or crochet then.. no

🤣🤣🤣

Retain the rules for games or even understand why I'm doing what to whom!

Soak not soke

Literally what is the difference between shelling and peeling a boiled egg 🤣
Tried the cold water. Still obliterate it. It’s almost like a talent.

Shell not peel.
Soke in cold water for 5 minutes.

I can't blow up balloons either!

Doubt you’ll be back OP but you got the wrong person - @Isittimeformynapyet asked like one question, @Ilikealltings asked a few which I think are the ones you didn’t like. But they were fine.

I can’t understand lose weight, can’t be bothered with masses of housework, and can’t have a dog as can’t pick up poo 🤢

I struggle with facial recognition. It takes me a while to remember a face but as well, it's what it is.

I don't think you're alone in struggling with blow up balloons (there's a knack) or finding can openers difficult. And cooking & cleaning comes with practice - there are some great YouTube videos for teaching you how kitchen skills & you can watch them as much as you need.

Cooking isn't my strong point either!

Can you explain what it is you struggle with when it comes to changing light bulbs? Is it just that you've never really had to?

I can't roll my tongue and I'm not great at washing up - so pleased I have dishwasher!

Least you tried. 😁 In my first job I had to peel loads for egg mayo salads, hundreds of the bloody things.

I cannot remember the rules of chess nor forsee losing on the next turn, I just don't get it.
I can't read a map without turning it around and even then I get lost without sat nav.
I can't remember numbers but I do remember patterns. So pin numbers etc are patterns. I have had the same work mobile number for 9 years and I can't remember it.
I can't remember my left from my right. At school I was a lefties then they made me swap and tried to teach me my right is the hand you hold the pen with but my brain doesnt remember that.
I am nuerodiverse so I have no idea if that affects things but there are loads of things I can do. I have learned how to build built in wardrobes and shelves, wallpapering, changing plug sockets, fencing, making a headboard, basic cake decorating and to cook to a reasonable level.

No really, I have the ability to eff it up no matter what the circumstances. I have genuinely tried all the tricks and I still lose half the egg in the process.

Just to clarify, hold the egg n use the palm of your hand to roll across hard surface. Not just roll cos that won't do anything 😂.

I'd take the life skills of kindness and empathy over many considered basic skills anytime. Both of which are actually lacking on here overall I notice in threads when people post about struggles to function in any sense on the subject of "adulting". Both my partner and I are neurodiverse and support each other over what we can or can't do.

Roll across a hard surface the shell peels off quite easily.

Wow! This thread has really annoyed people!

I can use a can-opener, but not properly. I could sort that one, but it annoys the hell out of DH. I finally learned to tie my shoe laces properly in my 20s, cannot turn on the correct hob ring and also cannot see objects when they are literally in front of me if they are not the same or similar to the one I have in my mind, or if they're in the wrong place, even something as big as a cat or dog.
