I was fully expecting tips on getting kids involved or a storm of discust... but no!. Anyhow the point is... if kids are not even picking up their own junk as apparently most don't how the heck can they be expected to do anything as 'difficult' as threading a needle in order to sew?

I struggle to get my spoilt brat to do enough chores but he usually does a modest amount, but its offset by him doing well at school and knuckling down when it comes to learning preppers skills. Cooking, Shooting,Archery, First Aid, Fire lighting, Navigating, etc
