Today, I actually had to teach my 9-year-old brother how to pour himself a glass of milk, after he burst out in tears when my sister told him to do it himself. His astonishing ignorance also extends to basic hygiene. FML

Today, I saw my little brother drink from the milk carton, gag, and spit the milk back in. FML

Today, I had to supervise my 9 year-old nephew taking a shower, because he won't wash with soap or shampoo unless someone makes him. Instead, he blows three-inch-long green and brown boogers out of his nose that dangle from his nostril. He's disgusting and hasn't even hit puberty yet. This is future of the world. FML

Today, I taught my 12-year-old brothers that showering cannot be used as a substitute for deodorant, and that they should use both. One of them was almost in tears. FML

Today, my baby brother learned to remove his nappy. He immediately used this new skill to shit all over my room. FML

Today, I had to teach my 16-year-old brother how to use a toaster. He thought you just plug it in and wait for it to "pre-heat." FML

Mommy milkers

Today, we ran out of milk and my 4 year-old son came up to me and asked if he could "milk" my wife's breasts for his cereal. Apparently, he thinks my wife doesn't love him and his sister is selfish for not sharing her milk. His sister is only one month old. FML

Today, my 10 year old brother caught me masturbating and then said "Oh, so that's how you do it!". He then ran to his room and locked the door. I inadvertently taught my little brother how to masturbate. FML

Today, I was at the store with my kids. My 5-year-old son wanted to carry the milk carton, so I let him. He dropped it and it spilled. I was really embarrassed. Then he decided to get on the floor and lick the milk off the ground. Everyone stared at me accusingly. FML

Today, I had to teach my younger brother to shave with a regular disposable razor because our dad uses an electric one and I'm the only other person in the family with enough facial hair to know how to use a razor. I probably would have been proud if I wasn't a girl. FML

This 100% falls on the parents. It's not your responsibility to make up for your their lackluster effort.

..Sounds like my almost-14 year old, (younger) brother. Teach him now, it only gets worse.

Sounds like my 18 year old younger brother. He just graduated high school and he has no clue how to do any kind of cooking or cleaning- he can't even peel an orange by himself. If he ever moves out on his own he'll probably starve to death in his never been cleaned apartment :/

It's amazing how some people are still babied by their parents. When I was 21 I had a roommate that couldn't cook hamburger helper because he was afraid of screwing it up he hadn't really ever cooked for himself before. Same with a female friend that though living on your own was just partying all and couldn't clean her place or do dishes.

Sometimes people just don't realize that children don't miraculously pick up basic survival skills, hygiene being one of them. They actually have to be taught that becoming acquainted with soap and water on a regular basis is a good thing. After awhile it (hopefully) sinks in. When my step daughter was 11, we literally had to drag her kicking and screaming into the bathroom to shower. A year later, I was ready to slide her meals under the door because she never came out!

Your brother needs to grow up &' your parents need to step up ..

You definitely need to talk to your parents. Kids are ruthlessly honest and he's going to end up being known as the "stinky kid." Growing up is hard enough without trying to break free of that kind of stigma.

I'm guessing that falls under the "hygiene" category... Skid Marks very likely

Sounds like my little brother, only if i told him to do it himself, he'd probably get slapped by my mom. FYL

Unless you want to take care of him for the REST OF YOUR LIFE you might want to start teaching him how to take care of himself.

Sadly I've seen worst.... A 19 year old that don't know how to cook ground beef

VeganVampyre 26

Friday 5 July 2013 4:08

And your point is..? I don't know how to cook ground beef either, because I'm vegetarian and don't eat ground beef. I do know how to cook lots of other things, though, so I don't see the problem.

*doesn't A lot of people don't really know how to cook at that age until they get out on their own for a while or have to prepare the food at home while the parents work.
