Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Hi PT: Yes they are about the same age. My daughter and I have a great time together. She has never taken a sewing class, one of these days she should. This year she and her friend are the costume and make-up crew head for the school shows. She likes to take her shirts and cut them and change them. She also adds things to them. My daughter is also edgy-punk-goth. She used to have multi colored hair which I did for her. It really is a shame that these classes are not manditory in both middle and high school. My son will hopefully be going to college in February and he doesn't cook he can heat and reheat. He can however do his own laundry. Sorry I am rambling again. Have a marvalouse monday Gayle ~ PT ~ <patchouli_troll Mon, 07 Nov 2005 15:54:01 -0000 Re: cooking with kids~ hi Gayle Our girls are about the same age. My daughter is my best friend. She is a fashion-deva, too! Of course he sense of style is more edgy-punk-goth- i don't know what... but very cute and creative! i agree with you completely about the sewing, cooking, and automotive repair all teens should have! She took a private sewing class last year so now she designs and alters all her own clothes. She loves cooking and baking which is awesome. Now we just have to get her interested in car repair! *lol* You are doing a great thing teaching and encouraging your daughter.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 *G* I couldn't help but to smile when reading your emails. My Parents made sure that we all knew how to cook, do laundry, do minor work on the cars, and do our taxes. I took Home Ec, Typing and Shop while in High School, and was the only girl in the Shop class, with some awesome male friends and skills. I am trying to make sure that my kids grow up with the same skills for life. I think that it provides a wonderful knowledge base for them to build upon!

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 HI Misty: I remember my father taking us outside and making us change a tire... Probably the last time I did as he thought we should know how. I am also the one in my family know that checks and adds the oil in my car. I don't change the oil however. I also check to make sure the radiator fluid is full. Both my son and daughter know how to do laundry and have been doing so for several years now. Although very often a load of laundry for my son is a pair of sock, pants and the shirt he wants to wear tomorrow. I taught my son to do laundry when he was in 6th grade as that was the year I went back to work. He then taught my daughter to do laundry as he was going out and didn't have time to finish the laundry. She was in 4th grade.
