[QUOTE="j-mox, post: 711467, member: 898"] I feel ya man. I got one too. No matter how I have tried he just has no interest in learning those kinds of skills. Tried when he was younger but lost interest quick. Say he would want me to show him something and as I did it he would wander off. Some is my fault cause I would just end up doing it for him cause it was less frustrating than trying to teach someone who didn’t want to learn. He has worked several places now and does well at them and has gotten promoted but life skills are just not in the cards. Just got done with a rant over him not taking his car for oil change with it way overdue. The oil percent gauge is what he goes by I guess. Had same issue with tires recently. Hey dad my tire pressure light is on. Well did you check them with a gauge? Yeah. Go out with a gauge and they have about 20psi in them. He is going off the readout inside of each tire. So I ask well how much do you think is too low? IDK. Maybe 15 :dunno: Asked him recently what way he took to go on a trip to a friends house about 1 1/2 hour away. IDK. Where my phone told me to take. Not a CLUE where he was! I give up. It’s just the generation of kids now. When I was young I took stuff apart all the time just to see how it worked. Still not real afraid to take things apart and feel my way into something to try and fix myself. Kids just don’t do that anymore [/QUOTE]
