[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 358370, member: 6546"] Marg-- You always have such good, practical advice... The thing is--we have been on an extremely tight budget for years, now. The good thing is my kids have learned to SHOP. Discount, sale or coupon or we don't buy it. So that's a plus... But as far as other, practical life skills? difficult child is just not interested. I've been trying to teach both children to cook. DS is very willing and will follow recipes and that sort of thing. difficult child is very willing to choose the meal--but she is [I]unwilling[/I] to pay attention to directions...and then food is wasted because she misses some vital step in the recipe. In that respect--a military career might be good in helping her to get organized and learn to follow directions and follow through. But, I'm sure next week she will be on to a new career choice...
