Skills then. Well I continue to train my dd’s sense of aesthetic taste. Eg. To be able to coordinate colours and in the process develop good dress sense. I think this is very important because it affects how you feel ant yourself, how others view you and an ability to be aesthetically sensible affects almost everything we do from manners to design. -
1) Housekeeping 101 as Mummy & maid won’t be there forever.

Martial Arts - Does the kid's particulars hv to be submitted to Police? Cos during my times, those learning it must submit.
Fishing - I think my kids are more like BAITS to the fish
Hunting - Does chasing after cockroaches count? Take after Mummy hehehe
Music - Both r backseat singers but can tell Mummy that her singing can bring the \"house down\"
Art - Doddling counted? -
another one to teach them after they turn 18. How to hold their liquor well, remain sober after 12 beers at least.

Wow - quite a bunch of good replies !!
Another 2 to add for myself:
(1) Be Honest - Better to be corrected now than to keep on spinning lies to cover the original lie. And it is ok to be wrong sometimes cos nobody is perfect.
(2) Fight Addiction (aka Mind Over Body) - Any addiction, over-eating, smoking, TV. Master your body and not the other way around. -
UncleLim:
And it is ok to be wrong sometimes cos nobody is perfect.
Nobody's perfect, but I won't say it's ok to be wrong. Be contrite, get over it, and don't do wrong again.
\"Now go and stand in that corner for 20 mins.\" LOL kidding -
fishing? can but not in the literal sense.
must be able to do it w/o the vuctim realising or even better, with a willing victim, coming in with both eyes open. :evil:
(why i said this? cos sashimi always \"complains\" tt tt's how i \"hooked\" him. LOL)
