Ep 85 Before They Leave Home: 10 Life Skills Beyond Laundry

When I look back at my parenting experience, I wish I could start over and call it: “Let’s Try This Again.” But that’s not how it works. I asked our girls for input, “What did we teach you that you needed to know as an adult?” and added, “But please don’t hurt my feelings.” (I needed some emotional intelligence.) “And yes, I know we didn’t teach you to budget…” Sure enough, the runt wrote right back: “You mean you taught us to pour concrete but not to budget?” Yes. That’s what I meant. And that was your dad’s fault.

Today I share a list of "Ten Things I Might Have Taught Our Kids But Probably Didn't" but the more important than separating whites and darks are the ten things I HOPE I taught our kids and if not, they have my phone number.

Enjoy! It's never too late to build into the next generation with God's help and wisdom.
