Re: Controversial Opinions (Non-Fandom)

[(Anonymous)]

But that's precisely the reason. No one ever taught them. Not just the duties themselves, but the fact that they need to do them themselves because no one else should be expected to do it for them.

I get the frustration, don't get me wrong. I had only a single parent who, in terms of responsibility, checked out when I was 8, so I ended up doing a lot of care for myself, and was confused by all the kids who told me their parents still did their laundry by the time they were in junior high. But I was also isolated and deprived of knowledge of things like networking, and how to put myself out there for a job, gain experience, open up MY own bank account, attain housing for myself, etc. I didn't learn any of those things until my 30s, but I sure would have loved someone to show me how to do those things much earlier, and not look at me in disgust and disbelief at how I could be so useless and incompetent at my age.

I suppose in the golden age of Google and Youtube, there's no excuse to not learn anything. But I can certainly understand why some might be wired not to, or have fallen into a kind of learned helplessness. It's tempting to call someone lazy or imply they're lesser for not being as knowledgeable as others, but maybe it would be better to drop someone a link, or show them how to do something without the eyerolling. Not do it FOR them, of course, but arm them with the knowledge so that they can do it themselves.

If they still can't do it after that, well... that's another story.
