Daddy wasn't much in the way of teaching me life skills that I found myself having to learn. A many of what I consider "basic" DIY stuff; e.g. putting air in or changing a tire on an automobile. How to check and refill basic fluids such as Oil, Water, Washer Fluid, or Transmission / Brake fluids. Replacing a car battery. Repairing or replacing a toilet, fixing a dripping faucet. How to use an electrical meter, or replace a light switch or receptacle. Why it's important to drain the water heater once a year. The basic function of an internal combustion engine, and how to trouble shoot it.
Yep, this is but a short list of things young folks need to know, therefore go out of the way to ensure your kids or grandkids are expose to such.
