Is this normal ?
I have a little boy, aged 3. I don’t want to judge but I would hope he would be able to do laundry at this age..
it’s just a friend of a friend who was talking about her 26 year old son who was not able to do laundry. The friend had gone on holiday and was worried about her son. The son is NT.
it got me thinking of my H and his mum used to talk about him like this when he was that age. My parents were nothing like this with us. At 26 I was living alone and making my own way in the world.
this man lives at home and is unable to do laundry and his mum is missing him after 4 days away on holiday and is worried about him.
Anyway, it got me thinking- is that normal ? Anyone who has 26 year olds, is this the same for you ? it just wasn’t in my case. Am I going to be like this with my son / daughter when they’re older? I always thought, absolutely not- but who knows. I can’t really judge it.
I know I would want them to be more independent. I think they should start learning how to do laundry in their teens. I don’t know. Am I going to be one of those moms that holds on like this or will I be as I imagine.
I guess the way the friend of a friend was talking, it sounded like she was talking about a teenager and I found it very cringey.
