Yeah I do. I have girls 20 and 23 - I know exactly where you're coming from. My stepsons can cook more than the girls can. I have to admit though, Tiffany has been trying to learn since she got married.

I don't know if you are like me, but patience is not one of my strong points! I will try to teach her how to do something around the house, and finally I will be like, oh dear Lord, get out of the way!!!
Someone was at my house the other day and she made this observation. Any time one of my children does something right, I let them know they are flesh of my flesh and shining examples of what it means to be a Rodriquez. Whenever they do something wrong I let them know it's plain to see they are related to my wife!!!
As I type this my ten year old daughter is asking to go to the store and buy cream cheese for a desert she saw in a magazine that she wants to make... Oh for the days of easy mac!!!

Wow! My girl hasn't got much past that easy mac stage... Well, a little, but not much.
Although, she got a bee in her bonnet about wanting to do the turkey at Thanksgiving, and talked my mom into letting her do it. She actually did a really good job!
My son made about 100 loaves of banana bread for his mission trip.... on the second day, they mixer over heated, so he had to make all the others by hand stirring.... what a mean Mom!

My mother was determined that when her children left home, the would be able to take care of themselves.
by the age of 18 all 4 of us were completly capable of running a house entirely. I could do just about any basic maintanence on a car including changing an alternator and other basic repair.
If we ate on Friday nights, it was because we fixed something for ourselves, she was OFF that night. I remember making real mac and cheese standing in a chair so I could stir the pot! (before anyone freaks out, mom was right there watching me).
My 3 year old "cooks" now. he helps in the kitchen all the time. he "helps" with washing dishes, he cooks his own scrambled eggs, mac n cheese, sautes veggies, makes cookies
of course all very closely supervised (even with my hand on the spoon he stirs with)
he also helps put up folded clothes, picks up his toys, puts clothes in the dryer from time to time.
my boys will be self sufficent at an early age.
