Well, that's a good reason to not cover it extensively in the book, but there are several key plot points that revolve around the daughters failing at a mundane task, and Marmee doing very little to prevent or remedy it. Yet we're told Marmee is a devoted, caring mother with no explanation as to why she'd neglect to teach her daughters some really important skills they'd need, especially when it was likely they would never have much money. (Obviously no one predicted Amy would marry Laurie at that stage.)

They failed at (some) mundane tasks because they get distracted (Meg and Jo with the bread) or don't think their grandiose plans through (Jo's dinner party), and Marmee deliberately let them fail to show them that even "mundane" tasks require time and care, and for everybody to contribute. And (IIRC) it only happens in the one chapter.
