A compliment

It's amazing what kids do not know how to do now. I have hired high school valedictorians that have never used a broom or a mop. Never cleaned a bathroom or washed a dish. And an incredible amount of them absolutely cannot count back change at alll!!! Seriously, if the register fails to do it for them, they cannot count the change back!! All schools are going to have to pick up the slack, I guess. We need classes for kids on everyday living, how to pay bills, how to budget, how to clean and cook. They can't even boil water. It's pretty sad. My kids learned all of these things growing up. They can all cook and have common sense. It should be taught at home, but sadly, it's not.

Parents should be instilling these things in their children by having them do chores. Other things, like budgeting, can be taught in high school. Have a good weekend.

I don't understand how they got to that age without knowing how to properly clean. My mom taught me young, and she also taught me I better do it right the first time or I'd find myself doing it all over again!

That is a nice compliment. Sadly many kids don't have to clean anything anymore while growing up

If you do tell the others, I don't suppose they'll thank you for it.

That is a good thing. And great advice for parents too.

When I got drunk at probably 16 and was vomiting my mom made me clean the toilet that’s how I learned. I told her a Princess shouldn’t have to clean a toilet .

It is good you are there to teach them, so now they will know. All in a days work I guess.

My kids are 12 and 10 and 8 don't know how to clean a bathroom yet. I don't expect them to either it's a living thing and not all parents have the time to teach. Some parents are stay-at-home parents, and they do all of the cleaning. I hardly as a kid had to clean my bathroom. My kids have seen me clean there. yes, currently I have them each doing a task in their shared bathroom. Only because I'm tired of declogging the toilet that one of them keeps stocking up to the point I can't even clean the damn toilet. So I've put the oldest in charge of cleaning the toilet she keeps stuffing, The littlest gets the sink and tub because he is pretty small, and I don't want him using the strong chemical yet. The middle one gets to clean the bathroom floor and find out how soapy it gets from his little brother making caked-in all the different soap. I will state also some of us people just suck at cleaning depending on their personality. Like if you have a certain time of behavior or learning disability. Since clearly all of us in my house have those types of brains cleaning is just a difficult task to do. Start or complete.

I am stunned Angie. What is wrong with parents not to teach their kids how to clean?

That was a nice compliment that you got. I was in a bad store where I worked and the bathroom was locked at night and people would get mad that they could not use it.

Oh, very nice compliment indeed! I wouldn't want the job of explaining to the other CSMs that they suck at explaining how to clean a restroom, either. Good luck with it. I'm sure you'll manage just fine.
