Default 13 Skills Your Grandparents Had That You Don’t

13 Skills Your Grandparents Had That You Don’t is about skills your grandparents had that even your parents might not have as well as you.



How many of you know how to read a map or do anything else on that list?

I can do almost everything but dance. Lol I have two left feet. And I was born and raised by the ocean so I have no clue how to do farm work but if I have to plant a tree or a plant I can do that. Most of the stuff in the list all it needs is some good ol' common sense... THAT is what this generation lacks.

Stupid list. I can do all of that. Granted, I'm only about 10 years away from being old enough to be a grandparent, but still.

My grandparents could probably copy and paste the skills into this thread so I don't have to open a thread, to open a link

Seems like a list for teenagers, because I can and have done all of the above.

I don't know how to sew, and I've never grown crops or livestock but grew up with neighbors breeding horses and I've been around my uncles/cousins have farms. If I had to, I could definitely do it. I can do everything else. meh. Stupid list.

I guess that since I can do all these things I can yell at kids to get off my lawn.
