Do you practice DIY? / myLot

For those people who are not familiar about DIY, it stands for “do-it-yourself”. I usually practice this kind of attitude because my life is not totally dependent to others. My parents had inculcated during my childhood years that I should do things for myself. It is a part of learning to be independent. I had noticed that some people cannot do things for themselves. As if, they cannot decide for themselves and rely to others’ opinions. It is fine to ask some opinions, but they need also to decided what’s really best for them. Thus, he or she kept sucking up to their friends. They need to grow up and be independent. Image Credit: pixabay.com

We only get help or use outsiders if we cannot possibly do the task ourselves. We have always been into DIY since we first married.

I think that is so ideal in a relationship. In some cases, either of the partners tends to be dependent on each other.

@Shavkat And some have no idea how to fix anything - and maybe they've never had the chance to try either. My family were farmers so we were pretty much hands on everything and Vin's Dad could do a lot of things too so Vince picked up some skills from his father.

I think it is. You do-it-yourself of cooking and painting without any assistance.

I learn to be independent since i went to high school . Thus , my daughter was also , because in HS she was already in a dorm in another province where Philippine Science is in Bicol . And she grew up independent , feeling like i am not much of a mother to her sometimes .

I think that a good quality we can have as Filipinos. We were also trained to be independent as young as high school.

If you know me personally, i am a true diy guy, i hate depending on others, I do things myself whenever I can and see to it that people who help me for things I cannot do are well reciprocated, Im prepper and I hate depending on a Government that could not provide us with anything anyway.

The part of government thing, I anticipate that it will become worse for the worst. You know what I mean. We need to be DIY at all times.

It is better to do something than being sedentary in nature.

I am all about DIY...and with everyone online who are willing to share their ideas on how they are doing DIY's ....it has become easier to fix ones problems by oneself.
