Being sent to university out of town I had to learn how to do everything.
My cousins were actually taught everything at a young age; my aunt was diagnosed with liver cancer and given 6 months to live, so she made sure to show her kids how to write a cheque, do laundry, etc. (for a wonderful side note, that was 20+ years ago and my aunt is still around today).
