I never understood that: even if he doesn't know how to open a bank account, do laundry, or fix something, can't he just look up how to do so? I would expect the younger generations to be more facile with such things. Not being taught how is no travesty, one can simply teach himself.

I’ve met a few! When your parents take care of all of life’s chores, sometimes there isn’t any incentive to learn how to do it.

I remember helping a 30 year old do laundry because they had never done it in their entire life.
