My mother never taught me those things. She said that I would learn soon enough on my own. And I have. Now I am married and I have learned to do all those things out of necessity. But I didn't learn how to do them for my husband's sake, but my sake. My husband knew from day 1 that we will share the household chores....that includes cooking, cleaning, laundry, everything. We both cook and we both clean. I do my own laundry and he does his own. I think your daughter should know how to do those things, but not so she can take care of a MAN, but so she can take care of HERSELF! I think you are absolutely teaching her the right thing by not waiting on a man. They should both be equals! However, I did learn to do my own laundry at a very young age and my sisters and I were always the ones responsible for cleaning the kitchen every night.
