Anyway, the other day, I realized i have to do better as a dad.
I figured that since my kids hadn& #39;t asked me about certain things, they must have known. {WRONG}
Imagine my surprise when I simply asked my kids (who are all driving now) what insurance carrier we had and none knew.

Even my 21yo who has been driving for 5 years.
At first, I started to get all scholdy like a dad.
But in talking to them, it dawned on me that 1) it never came up and 2) I never brought it up. So why would they ask?

This really made me sit and think of all the things my kids probably don& #39;t know but will need to know that they aren& #39;t going to think about until they confront them.
That list got long very quick.

So, I sat my kids down and simply asked, "What are some things your mom and I do that you think you would need to know if you were on your own right now?"
Man. Listen...
Man. Listen...
My 21yo& #39;s very first question was, "If you and mom die, what do we do with the house? Like, how do we sell it?"
Needless to say this turned into a very long convo.

Young adult kids really don& #39;t know anything besides what we have taught them and what they have experienced, which in the grand scheme, ain& #39;t much.
And it& #39;s important that we parents don& #39;t make them feel bad for not knowing.
Well, that& #39;s important to this parent, at least.
