AIBU to ask you to teach your children basic household skills?

[AvocadosBeforeMortgages]

I have a new lodger. He is 30. He has just left home for the first time. Well meaning, but it turns out he's utterly incompetent at life.

In the last 24 hours he's managed to unintentionally lock me out, try to fry his dinner without igniting the gas hob, and has just asked me for a lesson in how to do his laundry as his mother never taught him.

Please, for the love of all that is holy, teach your children to do these things so that they actually turn into functional adults!

My 2yr old (only turned two last week) loads the "washy sheen" for me every day and helps me hoover and dust. He loves washing the dishes too, standing in his montessori tower.

My son will never be a grown man-child. None of my potential other future children will be either if I have more. The thought makes my skin crawl.

Parenting your children isn't doing everything for them, it's teaching them how to do it themselves and giving them life skills. Some overbearing creepy as mothers may disagree.
