We homeschool and life skills are a part of our curriculum. Sorting laundry, making things like sandwiches, helping with dogs and chickens and matching dishes with mom or Dad by 5ish. Kids like to feel like they are a helpful part of a household/community. Usually by the time they were 9 or so they are mostly in charge of washing their laundry and can scramble eggs or make microwave omelettes and make box foods (cookies or Mac and cheese, etc.) while having adult help dealing with the hot oven or boiling part of it. I dont generally brag on it though, as these are really normal skills that people need. Id rather send a competent young adult out into the world than one with little to no life skills like I see in so many of my almost adult childs friends.

Can I borrow your kids? They cook more than I do .
Those teeth of KW's drive me bonkers - what is wrong with them.
For some reason, I notice teeth before I notice any other feature on a person (eyes, hair color, etc).
