A friend recently asked for a list of things others thought a teen needed to know before they left the house. That got me thinking. There are a bunch of items that most of us have on our radar:
- cook (simple things like boxed mac & cheese, grilled cheese)
- cook meals
- bake from a box
- bake from scratch
- shop at a grocery store
- menu planning
- clean a bathroom
- clean a house
- paint a room
- hang a picture
- use an ATM card
- make deposits/withdrawals at the bank
- complete transactions at a grocery store
- return an item to a store
- do laundry
But here are eleven that I hadn’t given much thought to:
- spring/fall cleaning
- taxes, or at least the concept of 🙂
- how to coupon and check grocery sales fliers
- how to make a service appointment
- use a drill
- adding windshield washer fluid
- change a tire
- check the car tire pressure
- what to do if you get a flat tire on the highway
- what happens in the case of a fender bender ~ safe steps to follow
- what to do if you are being followed
Can you think of anything I left out? Let me know in the comments section below!
How to check the oil level in a car / how to add oil
How to use a lawnmower
How to budget
Susan,
Of course ~ a lawnmower (though I have gotten through life not using one) ~ great idea.
And the “B” word, budget.
Thanks!!!
