Not having a license or not knowing how to use a lawn mower is being useless these days
My point being is they don't know how to do normal everyday things, I can't write out the thousand normal everyday things in one post...nor would I. Chores are something that are proven to help children aged 10-17, from first-hand experience where I live and interacting with hundreds of kids from different backgrounds, seem to somehow have next to no responsibilities. Obviously going to be different circumstances wherever you live.
