Parenting
5 Things Every Child Should Learn How to Do
Because life is tough sometimes and people can be assholes
I don’t ever write about parenting. It’s not really my thing. I didn’t win any Mother of the Year Awards though I think I did a pretty good job considering I had no experience and no one taught me how to parent. I sure as heck didn’t learn anything good about parenting from my own parents.
Nope. I was a self taught parent and a single one to boot. That’s a super hard job that doesn’t come with a training manual or an ecourse, well not back in my day anyway.
I’m sure now there are a plethora of eBooks and courses to help new moms. I didn’t have the internet in the 80’s while I was raising my kid.
These things can be taught to children at any age but the earlier the better. Don’t wait until something bad happens to them to teach them a valuable life lesson. Like the way most of us learned.
Anyway, being a single mom who sometimes worked 3 jobs to support my son and I, he had to learn to do an awful lot of fucking shit and he also learned some pretty valuable life lessons.
