Secret hideaway in the pennines |
Ad we grow up, we pick up certain skills from our parents.
For me cooking from my mum who was a fantastic chef and baking from my dad, who was a master baker by trade.
What skill sets if any have you gained from your parents |

From my mother, curiosity about the world, a sense of wonder, and the foundations of critical thinking.
From my father, the power of analysis, crisp writing, ambition, and a bucket load of cynicism. |

Not all children are raised this way - many things to consider in this statement. my children have no interest in games consoles and always eat at the table. Yes they use the internet far more than i ever did growing up (never had it at home  ) but it is the era in which they are growing up. My head was stuck in a book growing up I wonder if the generation before said similar things about us....? |

Every generation has been disparaging about the younger generations coming after them. History is littered with such examples. |

I need your shortbread recipe! My mum loved to bake, but, quite frankly, she wasn't that good at it! |

There's a wildly misquoted Socrates "quote" about that very thing, which is a creative interpretation of Plato.
Plato takes aim at everyone but says that the youth should fear and emulate their teachers and fathers, not the other way around. |

My parents were amazing 
The taught me manners, how to be respectful, to embrace love and happiness, that’s it’s ok to try things, even if you sometimes fail. Patience, responsibility and so many other things.
I can also shine my boots like a soldier  |

Decorating skills after being forced to sand, paint, wallpaper the house.
Also gardening skills after being forced to do a range of different jobs.
Also house removal skills. Surprised many people when I worked in retail, shoving large packages in their tight spaces.
When you grow up not having money to pay for jobs doing you learn quickly how to do em yourself Will never forget my uncles pulling a tree out the garden by somehow tying it to their car and driving off haha.
I’m very averse to any basic gardening, decorating having being forced to do them but I can if needs be. Not the most fanciest skills.
Why they didn’t force me to learn to make clothes since they were both tailors, I don’t know. Maybe I am a fashion designer in parallel universe! |

My Mum taught me the useful skill of incessant conversation - that woman can send any of her patients to sleep within a few minutes. Actually, I think part of my curiosity and love of academia is down to her - she nurtured my love of books, of being obsessive on a subject and having to know eveeerything about it. My Mum also taught me that I don't have the looks to fall back on so I need to work hard.
My grandma taught me how to host, how to cook ridiculously over the top meals, the little tokens that people appreciate like their favourite candle, their birthdays being remembered. She also taught me how to grow fruit and veg, how to make sloe and damson gin, how to deal with many rescue dogs. My Grandma also taught me to be humble and grateful for everything and resilience. Without her I wouldn't have got my Masters probably. And my very self critical streak. |

My parents taught me how to make friends. It's only looking back, as an adult, that I realise they were using me to make friends of their own!
Every childhood holiday memory rings with the sound of my mum pointing out a girl and telling me to go and make friends with her. It wasn't optional! They'd spend the rest of the holiday getting pissed with my new friend's parents! |

The ability to spend money I don't have on things I don't need from my mum and the ability to hoard it all and to not pass up a bargain from my dad 
Also some rather dodgy self defence tips involving saws from my dad |

I inherited my saggy tits and being terrible with money from my Mum. She also taught me to have very high standards, which has proved both a blessing and a curse.
Learned lots from my Dad like painting etc, but also not to put up with peoples shit. |

From my mum - the ability to walk into any shop, and convince myself that I need to purchase the first thing that I like.
From my dad - how to manage my out of control my shopping addiction that my mother instilled in me |

I didn't live with my parents beyond the age of six or seven, yet when I very occasionally run into my dad (who still lives a few miles down the road) it's telling how similar our mannerisms are.
I basically hate everything I inherited from my parents and have fought hard to disprove the nature vs nurture thing my entire life, but sadly some shit is just ingrained in our earliest memories and, dare I say it, our genes.
They're both strangers to me, yet I share a worrying number of traits. I'm really trying my utmost not to pass bad habits and baggage on to my son, but it's nigh on impossible! |

LOL. Speaking about your own kids?
As far as I can see mine aren’t obese and they play on the nintendo switch about once a month if that. |
