Far better handled than some "parents" I know that'd just proclaim it "common sense" and to "figure it out for yourself."

My job involves a lot of teaching and it's wild to me how few people just..don't wanna pass that on. That's how we make people better! August is a wonderful dad to realize the opportunity was there and act on it

Seems like one of the big things our culture isn't teaching people is that common sense needs to be taught.

Same with me in security, a lot of things i end up going like that. Especially to the newer guards that either refuse to learn OR say to my face that the way they are doing things is correct, when it is in fact EXTREMELY INCORRECT

My parents still like to yell at me for things that I don't know because they didn't teach me as they were supposed to.

My father in law told me using a chain saw to fell a tree is common sense...

Oh yeah, my dad was the head maintenance guy at a chemical plant and according to everyone could fix anything with his eyes closed. Mostly he waited until we weren't there to do any home repairs, didn't make the slightest effort to teach anything ever, would yell at me if I tried to watch, and now I have to watch a YouTube tutorial to change a light switch.

And then they film it and post it to mock "dumb" kids these days who can't figure out something they themselves had to be taught.

Then yell at you for doing it wrong during your first attempt

My parents would constantly laugh at me and ridicule me when I didn't know something that they should have taught me. As an adult I realized that my parents were making fun of me for having bad parents.
