Buy a home for somewhat reasonable percentage of their income and retire ever

Buying a reasonably priced home is easy, it's just not going to be where you want it to be

Passive aggressive-ism.

Handy work, talking to people, handwriting

My dad can keep a job better than me. He’s had like five jobs, each one for over ten years.

I’ve had like 30 jobs, and the longest for maybe 1.5 years. I’ve been fired a handful of times.

Somehow my father can just find a groove and stick with it. In me a dissatisfaction grows really fast and I waver on things.

same here and i think my parents got good at sticking with a groove because they had a family of 7 to feed, cloth, and house; meanwhile i have only had pets that don't grow up to be shitty self entitled tweens.

Navigate without a GPS. Really, do much of anything without consulting the internet first. There's a lot of stuff I'm better than them at, but that's because I've almost never had to learn without instructions.

Be an insensitive asshole

Uh, cooking......

The "normal" stuff, getting someone to stay with them and marrying them, losing their virginity, living by their own, having kids. I will never reach any of that.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

Driving. They were pros while I haven't even dipped my toes into it.

Moving me tf away from the part of town I was being raised in... or, alternatively: not having a distant father. You can't teach a boy what they need over just one weekend. FFS.
