Really obvious things you didnt teach your child (Lighthearted)

[Unorganisedchaos2]

Lighthearted, please don't come for me; I honestly do all the homework, reading etc just had a massive blind spot and looking to feel better.

DD6 had some homework this week to do her immediate family tree, lovely, she drew a big tree and we printed off some photos of everyone and it became clear that DD had absolutely no idea how all the random adults in her life were related 😅

She has a pretty typical set up 4 grandparents, 1 GGparent, 2 sets of 1 aunt and uncle and a couple of cousins, who we mix with at least weekly. I thought referring to my Mum as "Mum" for the past 6 years would have helped her make the connection but apparently not, bless her.

Anyway, it was an interesting learning activity and I think she's mostly grasped it now so no harm done ...right?

Reminds me of my granddaughter when we were having a meal. I happened to mention my cousin taking us to an abattoir , can't remember why now. When she asked what it was, i just said it's where animals go to be slaughtered for food.
She also thought farmers just waited until they died of old age. She was absolutely astounded, she was also about 13 at the time.🙄

My daughter, aged 5, thought abbatoir was such a beautiful word and that she would name her baby that. She didn't. Phew!
