I always emphasize on life skills more than academic skills. Today I felt so proud as a parent. I entered home and was surprised to see it all tidy up. I left it in mess in morning before rushing to hospital. My daughters did a good job. They have their exams going on but still they found time to tidy up home and cook a simple nutritious dinner of vegetable rice and pulses for all. So I had no cooking to do. I just relaxed with a shower and ate a simple home cooked meal by them.
They spent their evening so responsibly.
I am proud that I never treated them like guests in the house and made them do chores from an young age.
Life skills are as important as academic skills.

MIL is much better now. Thank you.
Academics without life skill is of no use. It is like you know the technicalities of swimming but can not step into water.

I think the situation is the best teacher. The family situation where they are growing up is helping them to be responsible.

You have said it right. Life needs much more than academic excellence.

Very true. Degrees do not assure that you can handle your life well but life skills do.
