As a parent one very important thing we need to do is to ensure that our kids know what are the things that they ought to know. While the education systems gives them some skills the following are surely missing –

a) basic life skills – nutrition, cooking, personal finance, fitness

b) basic life skills – reading food and financial labels

So when I met PP and he was cribbing about how expensive it was to eat out, I suggested cooking. He looked blank. He had no clue what I was talking about…

If you have a son/daughter, please remember that for health and financial reasons your kids want to eat home food, they should know how to make it. Do not tell your son ” your wife will make it for you” – your daughter-in-law will hate you for that!!
