re: Millennial dads have pathetic DIY skills compared to baby boomers

Gen Xer here.

My father was an English professor who couldn’t change a light bulb, but he could write an inter-dimensional sentence with 78 shades of meaning. He taught me how to kick arse at school.

I learned all of my man skills from my two father in laws. One was welder at River Bend and the other was a banker’s son who partied too much and ended up being a metal building contractor.

I’ve taken what they’ve taught me and have far exceeded their skill. Maybe it’s the 140 IQ that my professor dad gave me.
