    Dunno how I’d have gotten home from school or to soccer practice if I needed an adult, ffs I was staying alone overnight and cooking dinner for myself by 5th grade. How do you acquire independence and skills with someone hovering all the fucking time?

      You don’t.

      Source: raised by a single parent who yelled and chased me out of the kitchen anytime I tried asking questions of what he was doing.

      Now 41, and have NO CLUE how to cook.
