Can you change a lightbulb? Boil an egg?

written by Jeanine Martin April 23, 2017

According to a recent study in the United Kingdom, 20% of adults did not know how to change a lightbulb or boil an egg.  In addition, one-third of the 2,004 surveyed could not prepare a meal without a recipe.  59% didn’t know how to get stains out of clothes.  I have no doubt that people in the US are much the same but I can’t help wondering,  weren’t these adults raised by parents who were adults?  Wouldn’t they have taught their children how to change a lightbulb or cook a meal?   When did parents stop teaching children basic household competence?

The survey results are rather surprising:

For those of you who attended UVA or Washington and Lee, it takes three people at those schools to change a lightbulb, one to actually change the bulb, one to mix the bourbon and branch, and one to reminisce about how wonderful the old lightbulb was.
