Picture this: you’re at a party, and the topic of changing a tire comes up. You nod along, laugh at the right moments, and pray no one asks for details. Because let’s be real—you wouldn’t know where to start.

Confidence, my friends, is often a better ally than knowledge when navigating these situations. It’s amazing what you can bluff your way through with a bit of swagger and a well-timed “Oh, absolutely!”

Let’s face it: we’ve all got those embarrassing little gaps in our everyday life skills that we hope no one ever finds out about. Maybe you’ve managed to keep your secret safe until now, but it’s time to come clean. Navigating life skills gaps can be challenging, but it’s something we all face at some point.

So, how do we tackle those daunting tasks we’ve avoided like the plague? We may not have all the answers, but we do have your back!

I let my kids get away with not doing household chores – and its going to change

I come downstairs to see a pile of dishes in the sink. I hate dishes.

Unfortunately, I’m in this tough spot where I don’t want to do them and yet I have not yet assigned responsibility of them to anyone else.

Sure, we say its our kids’ job is to unload the dishwasher.

However, it doesn’t happen automatically.

I call to my kids, “Hey, the dishwasher needs unloading”

“OK,” my four-year-old yells, “I’ll do it when I come home from school!”

How does he know how to procrastinate at 4? I know what happens. He promises to do some household chore and then conveniently forgets when he comes home.

3 Things to Do When Your Kid Cries over Homework

“Noooo… I can’t do it. I don’t have the time!!”

Have you heard this from your child when she sits down to do homework? My gosh, it wrecks me.

I can feel her overwhelm and so relate to it.

I know what it feels like to have so much to do and what seems like no time to do it.

So, I jump in and try to help.

“It’s ok sweetie, let’s write down all the things you have to do to get it out of your head.”

“NO!” she pouts back, “That won’t help. I don’t know any of this and I have to get started now.”

What do you do with that? You see the problem, you know the steps to take to fix it and yet your child pushes you away like you couldn’t possibly know what she’s talking about or what she’s dealing with.
