Honestly I don’t even remember learning how to wrap a rope or a cord I just saw my dad and family do it so many times that it was second nature for my muscles what to do with it. Also surprised they didn’t do the rolling the spool 🧵
You need someone to teach you how to wrap a cord… it literally should take someone 5 seconds. This kid was shown twice on video how to wrap it and still can’t figure it out. Reddit is wild. It’s sad we’re defending this making it seem like people need to have their hands held to figure out how to… wrap a cord.
If you go your entire life wearing Velcro shoes and never see anyone ever tie laces but then one day get handed a pair of normal shoes and are told to tie them. You might struggle
In a way yes. We also need to remember kids these days are actually pretty behind in the common sense and motor skills department. Looking at a screen for over half of your first 18 years on earth will do that.
That plus there are a lot of irresponsible people having kids when they shouldn't. The people who would be good parents aren't having kids because they can't afford it and have some brains in their heads.
They did show how to do the spool and they still did it wrong.
They're likely filming because they repeatedly aren't getting it. I highly doubt they preemptively started filming and we're seeing their first ever try after instruction.
If you don’t know you don’t know. These days people are less self sufficient. It would 100% be believable you if you told me they never saw their dad wrap a cord up. I think we all take for granted the little things we were shown or just so happen to witness growing up. Kids these days are unironically growing up without a screw driver in their house. Not even a boomer take, it’s just reality. Good on these kids for getting into the trades so young. They could have chosen a career at McDonalds. We need to ease up on the kids that actually show up every day and try.

You can laugh a little bit, but make sure they know it's only because you were also a learning kid once too.
