    My oldest is 12, almost 13, and highly reluctant to do ANYTHING for herself. After your last story, I decided to step up my game. I learned to cook at this age. So I started her cooking. Yeah it was boiled turkey hotdogs, baked frozen fries and frozen veggies. But I taught her to read the packaging, figure out the instructions, I told her how to use the stove, oven and microwave. I had her push all the timing buttons, etc. She was nervous about the actual hot items, so I handled all that this time while explaining it. But as she does it, she’ll get more comfortable. She was so proud of herself.

      I was cooking entire dinners for our family at 12 too. It really set me up for transitioning into adulthood. In college I was the only one of my several roommates that knew how to cook a meal. Keep pushing her!

    Being a single parent with four kids who, when my youngest was three had an accident and got around in a wheelchair, my kids learned to pump gas, help with groceries, learn to wash, hang to dry, short cycle drying to fluff up the towels the sheets and a whole other set of skills needed to be autonomous in life. They are all good cooks, I have a Chef, a bread and seafood connaisseur, a cake and deserts wonder and a restarant/bar manager. I think I did a good job of teaching then skills and developing a different passion in each. They are now 41, 38 the boys and 35 and 33 the girls. Because of my lack of mobility, they learned early to depend on themselves and each other. They are an unruly, loud and full of love bunch. Anne

    I do a thing i call "adulting 101" and it's a check list of things my kids have to know how to do before they hit some important milestones like jr high, driving and eventually moving out. Including the big things like car maintenance, budgeting, making doctors appointments, applying for scholarships but also lot and lots of the little things I might forget or assume they know. Like sewing a button, cleaning the bathroom, making change, starting a fire. My hope is to send confident young adults into the world. It's also lots of fun spending the time with them.

    More life lessons: how to schedule an appointment with a doctor or other office, how to FIND a specific type of doctor and tell if they're in network for you. How to ask for prices of procedures and tests in advance, how to nicely ask about a discount or payment plan on services. How to pay water bills, car taxes and registration. How to work a parking meter. How to pay at a parking garage. How to negotiate college scholarships and grants with the financial aid office--- yes most will do this. Also for your college girlie: make sure she has a medicine basket ready to go with cold medicine, tummy stuff, tylenol etc because nothing feels like adulthood slapping you in the face like getting your first cold at college and having to walk sick to the store to get your own meds.

    I taught both of my teenagers how to put gas in the car, but I also have a "I failed as a mom" story. Last week I asked my 17 year old to light a candle in the house and threw him a pack of matches. He said, "Mom, I don't know how to use these." I was like "OMG--how do you not know how to light a match?" I realize that I am a tad bit overprotective. We practiced until he got good at it. Love the Andrew cam. Your family is so fun to watch.

    I remember teaching my oldest son how to put gas in, how to check fluids etc…..One thing I never thought to tell him was to pay attention to the roads I drove on to get to different places in the next town over. We drove there often twice a week or more from the time he was an infant so I just assumed he knew how to get around 😂😂😂 I get a frantic phone call more than 4 hours after he went to run errands with my 13yr old son. Neither of them could figure out where they were at and had been driving in circles for hours. They both managed to forget they have smart phones and could have used their gps to find their way to destination & back home. It’s definitely a different world. I remember navigating to places unknown with giant paper maps I got from AAA office 😂

    Andrew Cam👍👍👍 I started teaching my girls at 9 years old how to do things for themselves like laundry, cooking, putting gas in the car, how to check the oil.....etc. They are 26 and 19 now and I pretty self sufficient. I know they will at least have clean clothes, not go hungry and be able to get around.🙂 You aren't a bad parent.....lol....our world has changed immensely over the years and we get so used to do doing things we do them automatically without much thought so we forget the younger generation might not know how to do it.🙂👍❤

      We started having my daughter fill the tank (not pay off course) when she got her permit. We also made sure she knew how to check tie pressure, and how to know what it should be, change a tire, jump start, and check the oil. You never want the first to be when their aline!

My now 19 year old daughter had been taught about the gas and the oil change appointments but the first time the low air tire pressure light came on she was clueless. I have now been to the air pump with her twice and told her, “it’s all yours now!”

    Good job with the unboxing of the fruits and veggies Andrew.
    When my son started driving he was well prepared but his uncle and stepdad had taught him car maintenance and repairs and I only taught him how to pump the gas and how to drive, he has always changed his oil, brakes even patches his tires.
    When I was in college my roommate’s stepdad taught both of us how to change a tire and check the oil etc.
    I missed the emoji but I remember when debit cards became a thing and I am old enough to remember having separate keys for the ignition, doors and the trunk 😂 🦖👵

    My mom always managed to bring jars back from Sri Lanka, which is a 22 hour flight with 3 connections (back in the day). The key is to put them in 2 ziplock bags, them inside a couple layers of socks or t-shirts rolled around then, then put them in the corners of the suitcases or wherever your bags are more reinforced.

Also, I had some roommates in college that grew up in NJ which is a full service only state. So many of them didn’t know how to get gas since they literally couldn’t do it in their state growing up!

    I had a driving instructor who taught me how to put gas in the car and go through the car wash and go get coffee and a donut and she made me drink and eat while I was driving so she could show me how to do this without taking my eyes off the road and also reaching for something in my purse without taking my eyes off the road. She also showed me how to check the oil and other fluids. She was wonderful and this was back in 1983!!!!

The timing belt was always a bugger. Teach them young. It’s the ol teaching of catch a fish eat for a day, learning how to catch a fish, eat for life. ❤

    ✋ to debit cards, it was the early 1990’s and I was in my first year or so of university. Those were the days, I thought life was so much easier then. But about filling up the car, I grew up on a farm were we had our own gas tanks. I had to crawl up a dilapidated ladder, stretch for every inch to open the right storage tank (not a problem for my 6 foot plus dad and brothers), crawl down and fill the car tank. Forget about a clicky thing on that hose! But I guess it made me a stronger person in the long run. Now in my 50’s, I work with women who have NEVER filled up their own gas tank. They wait for their husband to fill it up or go to full serve station. I tell them I would have had to walk a long way as a kid if I didn’t know how to fill the car up. Don’t be hard on yourself Christine, kids learn things quick. ☺️

    Here's another gas in the vehicle story for you. My boyfriend always pays cash for his gas and at the station that he normally goes to you get a discount for paying cash. So his 16 year old son gets his driver's license. the first time that he drove some of his friends out of town he needs gas on the way back. he passes at least 5 gas stations trying to get home before he runs out of gas because his dad had told him " Just get gas at Wyler's" since he got a cash discount. He took it to mean that was the only place he could get gas!

    I don't have children, but I live in New Jersey, where it is illegal to pump your own gas. I remember going on my first road trip with friends and we had to fill up in another state and none of us had any idea what to do. Thankfully a retired trucker saw us, and our license plates, and came over and gave us a tutorial. A few years ago I took my younger cousin on a road trip and I said "get out, you're going to learn to pump gas" and I make her do it whenever we are out of state so she stays comfortable doing it.

My younger son knows how because he works at a station. Pretty sure my older son hasn't a clue but both know how to schedule maintenance and how to change a tire, so I didn't completely fail, lol

  • @verity1234

    Ok, true story. I had been driving for years at this point. I had a rental car and went to put gas in. I hadn't paid attention to which side the tank is on so wasn't surprised that I was on the wrong side. I was however surprised to find that the door wouldn't open. I had never encountered one where you need to press a button in the car to release the door. So there I was sitting at the pump reading the owners manual trying to figure out where the release for the gas cover is located. It took almost 10 minutes to find it UNDER the driver's seat. :)
    Also, in my teens I borrowed my brother's VW van (standard). It all went well as I drive a standard until I went to reverse it out of a parking spot. I could not find reverse! It was so old that all the numbers had rubbed off the stick shift and I tried every slot I could find. I had to push it back enough to get out of the stall. FYI, you have to push down on the gear shift and then it will slide into the hidden reverse slot. I guess this is a safety feature so you don't blow your engine by choosing reverse instead of 4th gear ;)

Pay attention to your surroundings, don't get gas at night when its dark, shut off the car, lock all the doors except the driver door, try to get the pump closest to the door of the gas station if you are able and keep your phone in your pocket.

    My kids are long grown, and their kids (Gen Z's) do know how to put gas in the car too. When I was a kid and got my driver's license (I got it after grad from college, age 21), but my Dad wouldn't let me drive or have a car 'til I could change the oil and change a tire, by myself. My first car was a " '54 Chev 4 door Deluxe", green over cream, purchased in 1965. No power anything, not power windows or steering. I was in hog heaven! I also knew when and how to wiggle something or other under the hood when my gas line (I think it was) would get an airlock and then would die in an intersection or some other untimely place. Yes, I remember the advent of the debit card, but don't recall about when it was. Perhaps the 80's? A wonderful invention, to my mind, though I still like to use and feel cash.

  • @susanpumphrey354

    The 'Andrew Cam' was everything. 😅 Pumping their own gas WAS something we remembered to teach all of our kids, but there's still so much that we take for granted they know how to do just from watching us, that they never picked up on. Parenting teens and young adults in today's world is an adventure for sure. Oh and yes I do remember when debit cards became a thing. I also remember when stores started doing the automatic draft even when you wrote a check, so the money came out instantly regardless. That was a MAJOR cause of adjustment for us for a while, because we had gotten used to going to get groceries the day before payday and stuff like that, because we knew we'd have time to deposit our paycheck before the checks we had written cleared the bank. Not anymore! Stuff has cleared the bank before we even get home from the store now. And you don't even get a book of checks when you open a checking account anymore, just a debit card.

    Hahaha love it!!! I taught my daughter how to put ⛽️ in the car, do groceries and garden this year (8). BUT I did realized that I totally forgot how to teach her how to use basic stuff 😅 Life of a parent hihi. Thanks for sharing!!!

    Funny, my oldest daugher got her license last year... she said I have to pay for gas? I said yes, I gave you the car and gas is on you. We live in NJ, so gas is pumped for you. All she does, is hand over her card or cash. But, my plan is to teach her how to pump gas in Florida since my parents reside there.

    My kid is about to start driver's ed, so this is a timely reminder! I haven't taught them how to pump/pay for gas yet, but I definitely will. When I was 16, I could fill up my car with gas for about $10. Wish that was still possible!

    One of my favorite memories from Hawaii involved food…It was the last day of the trip and we decided we wanted to have a nice big dinner.
    My husband and his friend were going to go diving for lobster but on the off chance that they weren’t able to get any, we decided to go to Costco for steaks.
    Well, they came back with 10 huge lobster in just a half an hour!!! We had so much food, that we ended up having steak quesadillas and lobster scrambled eggs for breakfast the next morning before our flight 🤣🤣

    Another skill they need to know is how to change a tire if they get a flat. I had to teach my older sister when we were in college, cause she didn’t know, we didn’t have AAA and no phone service (or anyone to call!) Love your videos!

    Loved the Andrew Cam!! He did really well. I don’t remember actually teaching my daughter how to put gas in the car, but she was doing it years before she got her license. I would drive her to all of her sport/band events, so I would pull in, hand her the auto debit card and off she went. I miss those days!

    OK, so I hardly ever comment here but today I have to share my fail as a parent!!!! My oldest was off to University for her first year, I get a phone call, Mom, how do you do laundry? What...what.....a total fail! So yes, second, third and fourth child immediately got lessons in doing laundry. The world has changed from when I was growing up, my Mom did all the laundry, yes, 7 kids and she did all the laundry......so, I did the same raising my 4 kids! Nowadays kids are doing their own laundry as soon as they start walking right!!!! Thanks for sharing your fail! Huge fan! PS....mine was worse eh!!!!

    Here’s my most recent parent failure… we homeschool and my 6 year old is already well onto reading, but was recently asked to sing the ABC song and had no clue how to sing his ABCs?! I taught him all his letters and letter sounds and he is reading above grade level, but I never taught him the ABC song. I felt horrible in that moment. Thankfully it’s a pretty quick remedy. Now we sing it 20x a day so we are ready for the next time🤦🏻‍♀️

    Before my kids were allowed to get their license they had to show they could check the oil, change a tire and drive a standard vehicle. I know a person who had to give up a great deal on a car because she and her family members could not drive a standard.

    I started teaching my daughter how to pay for gas and pump since she was 12 and how to use a car wash because we don’t own a house and we wash our car there. I used to go the public laundry and showed her how to wash clothes since she was in Junior High.

    Andrew-cam was awesome! If he's up for it, perhaps he can cameo/assist on a cooking video that uses the items he didn't know the names of. It'd be fun and informative! Maybe one month you can put each of your kids in charge of the grocery shopping and menu/food prep/cooking for a week. They've all gone shopping with you and watched you make dinner, but have they done it on their own before? A video coaching them through it would be really interesting too.
    Also, do you think you'd do a freezer organization (to group like foods together) like you did your long-term storage shelves? I keep wondering how often (if ever) you find an overlooked and very old frozen item in your freezer.

    LOL! Love your story about getting gas in the car! Earlier this week my daughter (16) went over to a friends house and had porkchops on the bone. She could not figure out how to cut the porkchop up with the a bone still on it because normally I cut the porkchops off the bone before serving or just get them boneless. Apparently I am not doing my kids any favors for cutting the meat off the bone. LOL, lessons learned, they are on their own for cutting meat!

Now my grandkids are learning to drive 😮!

    My oldest just turned 14 and git his permit. He has a summer job too!! He has been pumping gas for me for a couple of years now. That was something my parents never taught me so I had to figure it out. He also knows how to budget, keep a ledger for his bank account (right now he has a prepaid card) and he knows how to both call for his balance and how to do the online looky loo.

    Yes, I remember when the debit card was created. My grandparents had a gas station so I learned how to put gas in the tank when I was young. My oldest daughter didn't want to learn how to cook. She had no desire until she was on her own with a boyfriend.

    Maui is our families favorite vacation destination. We usually have 10-20 family going. We eat breakfast and dinner in our condos and eat lunch out as you know it’s very expensive to eat out, especially with a large group. We like going for 2 weeks during Thanksgiving. Wishing I was there now….

    We did a family vacation to Maui about 20 years ago... first stop was Costco! The one thing that we got there was our Hawaiian shirts - made in Hawaii and way cheaper than the tourist shops.
    Re: after-show, check the laws in your state, but many places you have to be a licensed driver (or have a learner's permit) to pump gas. Also, it is not safe to get back in the car or be on a cell phone while gas is pumping. In both cases, electric shock can be generated that will cause a fire. We had a deadly fire local to me caused by someone getting back in their car while the gas was pumping.
