[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 158670"] Does grandma do this because it's how she is or does she do it because it's easier than teaching easy child how to do it for herself? I know my difficult child will look at me like I've grown another head when I ask her to do something that to me seems very elementary, but she just has no idea where to begin. I posted a long time ago about difficult child making cookies. She needed shortening and I had sticks of shortening rather than a tub. Well, each stick is individually wrapped and sealed inside a little plastic tub (looks similar to a butter dish). She could not figure out how to get into it. So, I pealed the foil seal off. Then she stood there exasperated and couldn't figure out how to get the stick out of the plastic tub. I walked over, picked it up, turned it over and the stick fell right out. Imagine that. She was so surprised. Now, how she can make cookies by herself but can't get the stick of shortening out it's container is beyond me....except that she had step by step instructions on making the cookies and no instructions for opening the shortening.
