A grandfather argues that teaching kids to mow lawns or change oil misses the point. Since they won't need those skills, focus instead on what matters: how to be a good father, husband, and Christian. Outsource the chores. Spend your time on values.
Somebody said the other day about teaching my son, my grandson, how to cut the grass or change oil. I said, for what? They're not going to ever be broke. Why would I want to teach them that? You know what I'm going to teach them? How to be a great father, how to be a great husband, how to be a great Christian. That's what I want to teach my kids, not something stupid about hire somebody to do that stuff. You take your time, effort, and energy to do the things that are important in life. Why do you need to know how to do manual labor? I mean, that is dumb.
