Your not in the stone age, you are practical and realistic. We have 2 large freezers full of fruit and vegtables we harvest from our garden. We have shelves of can goods that we put up each year. My wife buys a lot of dry goods at the "Bang and Dent" store on discount and repackages into smaller quantities for use. Plus we buy meat on sale and freeze it for latter use to save money. I grew up on a dairy farm my parents grew up during WWII, so they know what it is like to not able to get what you need at the store. We always grew and stored food for the winter.
listen, watch and learn. I marked the nail pulled it and put in a plug, a 5 min job, filled it up checked to make sure it sealed, and had HIM put it back on,, My girls could change a tire when they were 12 years old,, It is a wonder these girly boys know where the gas cap is.
Mine try to do for themselves. Still gotta assist
Usually they don't have the right tool for the job. Started making them go buy there own and quit lending. The tools never seem to find there way home Bought a house with out a basement. They had to move out two are home owners. And one rents a house. Very proud of all three of them. I hear ya brother, then she is really mad when you clean them up and put them back in the exact spot?
The whole time she was cussing him pretty good and calling him a pu##y She actually thanked us for making her do that after the issue with her boyfriend 
to a powder puff mechanics course offered at the local vo tech school many years ago. It was a really good course. Started with checking the oil, which a lot of the ladies had never done, but by the end we could bring in the parts and do one real (simple) repair with supervision.
I disconnected the battery, loosened 2 plug wires, removed the drivers wiper blade, let the air out of another tires and put his spare flat tire, (the one that AAA had changed for him), back on. It was a Sunday and as usual he was late for work as usual. As he was hurrying to leave I told him that some day This would come back to haunt him. Little did he know that this was the day. He went out into the garage to get into his car to go to work - it was not there, somehow it managed to get it self out side about 70 feet from the house. I had known his boss for a long time and had already told him about the lesson my son was about to learn. So, out we went for the lesson of the day.
