Opinions needed!

I think every young girl should learn everything there is about running a household. I also think every young man needs to learn the same thing. My son at 15 knows how to do laundry from start to finish. He did this for me when I had my hysterectomy and was 12 years old. He makes a better meatloaf than I do and has won cookie contests at the county fair. He knows how to cook and follow a recipe. He also knows how to sew (made a duffle bag at school). Even has a checking account so he can now see where his money comes from and where it goes. Believe me, he's all boy...but it's never too early to start teaching them these things and practicing them. I always think, HEAVEN FORBID, something should happen to me before he can learn all these things. So there you have it....my opinion!
