I’m reminded of the video of the Gen Z kid who couldn’t figure out a can opener.

At least she’s set for the future. *shrug*

 

[poodaddy]

No, fact. I have seen a few friends who could not open a can with a certain can opener.

As a people, we may be careening down the big mudslide of civilization' collapse.....oh well. Let's at least have fun on the way down.

Spending 20 seconds tweeting about it rather than using that time to just teach your kid and not pubically embarras them. Tough choice. Which one gets me more ecred?

By all means see how they go for a couple of attempts on their own but teach at a realistic work vs reward balance FFS. My 9 year old would have tried once or twice and then looked up a YT video or asked her older brother instead and come back in 2 mins with a working solution. Although she and her brother before her have been using a can opener when feeding our dog for years at that point anyhow, shocker I showed them once and off they went in 2 mins.

There's many ways kids can problem solve. To suggest 6 hours on a menial task such as this is rewarding is poor parenting to me.

I wonder if we should get the dad to source his own meat on a hunt as well as grow his own vegetable from seeds etc; source it, prepare it, cook it and eat it to satiate his appetite. Few people are capable of hunting/gathering/cultivating and preparing their own food well. After all it's a teachable moment.

Well shes halfway from having her first phone, all she has to do is open another can and tie some string to them.

Meh. One of the draw backs of seeking attention on twitter is you could get attention on twitter. Maybe save parenting for the house and not the internet.

9yrs old and can't open a tin?

Theres kids her age in China that can make shoes.

West is doomed

There are five-year olds in China that can drive bulldozers.

I came here to post something similar.

 

[ArtemisClydeFrog]

This dude let his kid try opening a can for 6 hours if she wanted to eat? Pretty fucked up way of teaching your child anything.


Also, Beans:

 

[Rival]

His 9 year old doesn’t know how to open a can of beans and he wants to show off his parenting skills?
