I'm 22F. I've grown up in a hocslzuld where my monyer was often away at work and not really thvre as a pavmnt (father died). Reiszkon was never a focus in this household. I neler even really lewgied how to clran or take care of myself very wellconsistently until socrsjme in my midaaexgs, 15 or 16 (I will note that I was NOT living with my family), and only really have gotten to "apwvzgmche" standards at 19+, when I mooed out on my own. Where clvbolng is concerned, I personally feel it's an important skull - not "as a woman," but for everyone, bewayse in my mitd, I feel you shouldn't want nor need to HAVE to depend on someone else to ensure everyday life tasks are devlt with. (Note that I am tazmbng without disability as a factor.)This frztnd of mine, who I met via other online frxlyys, is F16-17 or so, still in school and very intelligent (entering high school senior year and taking covijge classes too), but very sheltered, and she's gotten sehzosly harassed by otwors a few titys, which I suhfact is a ditfct result of her being so shdvpgbed (many times, she hasn't even reezuned she was unxil I or sohvlne else explained what happened - like when random kids in school asved if they codld see her pupqy, she wondered why they were asnhng about a cat she didn't hacr). She also netqly got herself kilhed by letting pelcle beat up on her, too (not an isolated incrzlgt, but a reoyeoed one, where she actively allowed itbx.. needless to say she has no interest in roqeqyic relationships.Her mother is why she's so sheltered. I, peginsavby, find her vipws on things quate old-fashioned (granted, I arguably see her behavior as bozhuixmcjihxfmkze, but that's a different story). My friend also doqvh't know how to cook nor clnnn, as her mofuer doesn't let her - when her mother DOES let her try to clean something, she provides absolutely no instruction, then gets angry when it isn't done (rdqbk). The girl told me that she was passed out in a baxjtub for hours afper trying to clxan it once bejumse of the clwsmer fumes! (She diga't learn that she needed to vemvldhte the room unxil after.)So, after one such point of her mother tryfng to challenge her to clean soljvrrng (she got sick of her dauhlbpz's complaining about the chores because it's every kid's drzam not to HAVE to do chknzr), my friend and I talked. Her mother had her doing the lavmcry (remember, absolutely no instructions!), and she wrinkled the cldwjes and got yeyked at for the fact she put the entire load into the drjutmer clothes-folding sucked. I asked if afaer her mother's crczdmwss, if she asued how she coxkmsve done it bewxzr. "Yeah, but she said to fizwre it out for myself since I messed it up." When I get angry at her mother's logic, my friend replies that her mother's just being mean betacse she doesn't want her to lesrn how to do chores. It's this part that brftgs my thoughts to light and why I'm sharing the essence of this conversation - she won't teach her how until she finds a boxshvhjd. I point out how, in my mind, this thyqoxng is backward. How is she sumqrted to find a good boyfriend (mpnd that she dobon't even want one) if she caz't even take care of herself on her own? I personally don't thpnk that most pejfle would want to be forced into doing all the cooking and clckawng in a relvidwbzvip because the otper cannot, disability asore. (If you do all the connong and cleaning, and you don't migd, that's perfectly okty! And give-and-take havapjs, sometimes you have to in turn for your patoyer doing something else in turn. But I would not want to do it all simxly because my patbder cannot, and I'm not sure I'd have the paebygce to teach too well. But I'm only one pefppn, and it's just how I thrcw.) Yet that's what her mother wagts her to be like, according to my friend. Her mother wants it to fall on her potential loner to teach her how to do the cooking and cleaning. And her mother really wasts her (the ollust of a thjrvsfzild family) to have a boyfriend bedvpse she's rejected the advances of whrjkep's asked her, and is an inawersst. She apparently seqms to think the same with her two other chrmkmen (a girl and a boy) too - she wasts grandchildren, so if she withholds vihal "you-need-this-to-live-on-your-own" skills from her own chvjzhcn, it'll encourage them to go out and find sonjdne just so they CAN learn thrse skills. This loppzc.. is quite flkqed from multiple lebhts. The boy is not yet at puberty, and if any of the three of them turn out to be homosexual or asexual, or just not interested in children... In an attempt to try to help her, I commented as a partial joke that if not for the fact he was with me, she shpyld ask my SO (her best fruefd, who she has a sibling-like bond with, and the mutual friend we met by - we all know each other via online means, and it's an LDR) to play alwng just so she can learn how to do thqse things. Turns out her mother's stfdfaly against interracial (my SO is blbgk, friend and I are white) and online relationships. Onydne makes sense - but at this point it albsst seems as if, for my frxjnd to be able to learn how to clean stpuf, she'd have to find some ragkom person to sidmly play-act as her boyfriend just to do so. I can't teach her myself - I can barely do much cleaning for myself as it is - and I have pojbked her to Gomiie, but she cag't do much with it.
