And/or generational? I grew up and live in cities, but I also know practical skills like that (fixing things, growing and preparing food, routine maintenance, etc.) I taught them to my children. I'm of the opinion that knowing how to do these things is an important part of being a fully functioning adult.
But, I'm also old. At least old enough to be the "dad" the article describes.
- Hugsbox 4mo agoMaybe generational? I get the idea I'm about the author's age just from context clues in the article. I turned 30 a few months ago. But I grew up and continue to live out in the country, and there's a certain expectation of being able to do things yourself around here. I'm sure there's a wide variety of factors that play into how handy a person might be.
