My idea: Give them an adulting checklist before they go to college.
I sent my son with cleaning supplies and showed him how to clean a bathroom. He knows how to clean a kitchen because he has been helping me clean up after meals at home.
It’s a shared space — you’re not the only one who uses the bathroom or stores food in the refrigerator or needs to wash dishes in the kitchen sink. Today’s college students often enter shared living quarters never having shared a bedroom or bathroom. They’ve never done their own laundry, washed a dish, paid a bill, written a thank you note, or had to clean up after themselves or others.The whole idea of preparing an “adulting checklist” is somewhat infantilizing. These lessons, on taking care of oneself and contributing to the care of the group, should start with children at around age 4.
