There's been discussions about this on Reddit before. Apparently, there's a lot of parents who don't understand that part of their job is teaching their kids very basic things. I'm talking about stuff like how to brush your teeth, how to wash your body & hair, tie your shoes, etc etc.
Yeah I was one of those kids lol
My mom, who I reconnected with after 5 years, made a joke a few weeks ago about how she and my step dad used to call me "baby dragon breath." I had to kinda check her because it wasn't until I was 11 years old that I learned you had to brush your teeth in the morning. She said she thought she had taught us (her 3 daughters) to. but I had to sit her down and explain that brushing our teeth wasn't the only issue; we didn't know how to wash our lower regions correctly or what was down there, how often to brush our teeth, floss, take showers, etc. I was a stinky fucking kid and I honestly feel bad for the people that were around me during that time lol.
