Moto Casino. America's social casino. All right, it is the Mojo in the morning show. I should do this as a tell me something good because it really is. But my son got his car washed for the first time in a half of a year, six months.

00:02:03 - 00:02:04 | Speaker 6:

You know what? We call that a little victory.

00:02:04 - 00:02:51 | Speaker 2:

That is a victory. Yes. So my teenage son, Luke, has not washed his car at all. I've washed it. Matter of fact, I washed it, I think, twice. And I finally said to Chelsea, I'm like, this is ridiculous. His car is so bad and it's, you know, it's a lease and it's going to end up going back to the dealership and they're going to like say to us, yeah, did you ever wash this thing? And like, you know, you owe this much money to us. So she's like, you got to have a talk with him. So I sat down and had a talk with Luke and I said to him, I go, you got to take your car to go get washed. And he admitted to me, he doesn't know how to go to a car wash. And I looked at him like, what the F?

00:02:51 - 00:02:56 | Speaker 6:

Like, get on the track to go through the car wash? Because that is, that's a legitimate fear.

00:02:56 - 00:03:50 | Speaker 2:

Yeah, because that's the car wash he would go to. He wouldn't go to, like, one of those ones where they have the hand sprayers or something like that. That'd be too much work. I mean, come on. He said that he felt like he was too nervous to go through a car wash and didn't know how to go through a car wash. And I thought to myself, wait a second. I go to a car wash all the time, and you're in the car with me. how have you not paid attention to what I'm doing going through the car wash to know how to go through a car wash and he said I don't know I don't pay attention I'm on my phone usually or you know what I mean like I'm not paying attention uh when when we're going through the car wash so I physically got into his car in the passenger seat got him in the driver's seat and I said we're going to the car wash so we ended up going to the you know the two dollar wash or whatever down the street from our house yeah and I I like showed him like you got to pull up the guy's going to wave at you they always yell neutral and it scares the crap out of you and they kind of

00:03:50 - 00:04:00 | Speaker 6:

direct you trust me i i still have a very hard time with getting on getting my tires right on that little thing yeah and sometimes i have to back up i'm that girl and try all over again

00:04:00 - 00:05:08 | Speaker 2:

really some some cars look cooler not washed well jeeps so so here's the thing so we go through the uh we go to the car wash the guys actually were good they were first off they were spraying ahead at a time. He's like, what are they doing? What are they doing? Like he was freaking out. Cause you know, they have the spray gun thing where they tried to like spray the front and the back and do all the rest of that. Um, and then we guy guides us on the thing and then he put it in neutral and he sits back and he's like, I did it. This is great. He was like all excited. And then he realizes towards the end of the thing, what do I do? When do I, when do I actually put the car in drive and how do I get out of this thing? And what, you know, what's going on? But he was actually feeling proud about it but i bring this up because as a as a parent of two older boys i realize i as a dad and chelsea as a mom have failed our kids because joe called when joe got that job down in tampa a few years ago on the morning show there at wflz the joe show He called his mom up to ask her what APR stood for and why it was a fee.

00:05:08 - 00:05:11 | Speaker 4:

Yeah, I don't know. Oh, like on a credit card?

00:05:11 - 00:05:12 | Speaker 2:

On his credit card.

00:05:12 - 00:05:14 | Speaker 4:

I couldn't tell you what APR stands for.

00:05:14 - 00:05:25 | Speaker 2:

But here's the thing, though, Megan. He had no idea that when you charge something to a credit card, that if you don't pay that off at the end of the month, they charge you a fee for that.

00:05:25 - 00:05:26 | Speaker 3:

Yeah, I wouldn't know that either.

00:05:26 - 00:05:27 | Speaker 2:

You didn't know that either?

00:05:28 - 00:05:37 | Speaker 3:

I mean, I've never had a credit card, so I don't really know how they work. I have no idea what any of that means. I don't even know what my credit score is. I just assume it's bad.

00:05:37 - 00:05:46 | Speaker 2:

All right, so this topic here is going to be for Megan as well as for Luke. What are the top life skills that every parent needs to teach their kids?

00:05:47 - 00:06:27 | Speaker 4:

It's so funny you talk about Luke with driving because Wes's son, Kieran, is 15 going on 16. And so he's doing like all the driving, like trying to get hours driving right now. And so we'll drive in the car with him. He's a great, he's a way better driver than I am, by the way. Like when it comes to us getting in the car, Wes is like, Kieran, you drive, Shan, in the back. Like I never get to drive anymore, which is great. But you know, the one thing that he was really scared to do, I don't know if he's done the car wash yet, but was to go through a fast food drive-thru. Really? Like we wanted to go to Starbucks the other day and he was getting a little bit anxious about going through the drive-thru. And that should be something that I think they teach you in drivers at. The car wash thing and the drive-thru thing.

00:06:27 - 00:06:29 | Speaker 2:

That was the only reason I wanted a driver's license.

00:06:29 - 00:06:34 | Speaker 4:

What was for that? But think about it. We take this for granted because we've done it 100 plus times.

00:06:34 - 00:06:34 | Speaker 2:

Yeah.

00:06:34 - 00:06:42 | Speaker 4:

But to try to get your car that closed without hitting the curb, without scraping the side of something, right? I can see where that's...

00:06:42 - 00:06:43 | Speaker 2:

Becomes an issue.

00:06:43 - 00:06:44 | Speaker 4:

Yeah, where it's nerve-wracking.

00:06:44 - 00:06:58 | Speaker 2:

By the way, why would the driving schools not have you go through a drive-thru? You probably spend more time in a drive-thru than you do on an expressway or highway. Right. That's like their big thing is the highway driving and taking you out on the big roads.

00:06:58 - 00:06:59 | Speaker 4:

I remember being terrified of that.

00:07:00 - 00:07:37 | Speaker 2:

Actually, if I was a driver's ed instructor, I would do what my driver's ed instructor did. We used to run his errands for him during driver's ed. Really? Oh, yeah. We'd all be in the car. Next thing you know, we'd be hanging out at the laundromat, folding his clothes. Here are the top life skills that they say every parent should teach their kids. It's basic cooking, good hygiene practices, to drive a car, doing laundry, money management, and basic housekeeping skills. Those are the things that you need to teach your kids before you send your kids off into the world, into the cold, cruel world. Patty, you agree with this, right?

00:07:38 - 00:07:45 | Speaker 1:

Oh, yeah. Cooking is essential. You eat the rest of your life, and these kids don't know how to cook food, like basic ramen noodles.

00:07:46 - 00:07:53 | Speaker 2:

So did you actually have to, like, pull your kids into the kitchen and pretend like you were, you know, Rachel Ray?

00:07:53 - 00:08:04 | Speaker 1:

My story is I started teaching my son how to cook when he was two. And it's amazing because my friends are all jealous that I can go out on a Friday night and he knows how to make his own dinner.

00:08:05 - 00:08:32 | Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's actually kind of cool. Can I say this, though? I think when we were younger, I think we just watched our parents do it. Did our parents teach us how to do all this stuff? Maybe cooking they kind of helped us with. No. But a lot of the things like driving a car and things like that, you know, I mean, we did the drive-in thing, but we saw how our parents, you know, drove through a car wash. What's going on, Poncho? Good morning. What's going on? What do you think we should be teaching our kids and Megan?

00:08:33 - 00:08:38 | Speaker 5:

How to sew. Like, for instance, sewing a button back on a pair of pants with a button falling off.

00:08:38 - 00:08:39 | Speaker 3:

Nah, just throw them away.

00:08:40 - 00:08:41 | Speaker 5:

Just throw them away.

00:08:41 - 00:08:47 | Speaker 2:

Use a safety pin. Yeah. Your parents teach you how to sew, Poncho?

00:08:48 - 00:08:54 | Speaker 5:

Actually, no. I actually believe I took a class back in middle school, a little class on how to do all that.

00:08:54 - 00:08:55 | Speaker 4:

Home ec. I remember that.

00:08:55 - 00:09:02 | Speaker 2:

Yeah. No, that's obviously something I don't know how to do, so I'm not even going to agree with that one. But, Elena, what's going on?

00:09:04 - 00:09:06 | Speaker 6:

Taxes. That's all I can say. Taxes. Yes.

00:09:07 - 00:09:16 | Speaker 2:

See, I have no idea how to do taxes. Like, I have to go pay somebody to do it. But I know how to put my taxes together, but I always have to get a refresher course.

00:09:16 - 00:09:21 | Speaker 4:

That should be a class. Or that should be part of, like, a high school finance class or something, college. I don't know.

00:09:21 - 00:09:21 | Speaker 6:

Yeah.

00:09:22 - 00:09:22 | Speaker 4:

For sure.

00:09:22 - 00:09:27 | Speaker 6:

Yeah, no, I don't know. I'm 30, and I still don't know how to do it. I have to have my mom help me.

00:09:28 - 00:09:43 | Speaker 4:

Yeah, like, there should be a class about check writing, taxes, like, any of that, like, APR. Yeah, like, yeah, I know what it is. You know, just those every day or every year things. I don't have a clue on any of that. Yeah.

00:09:44 - 00:09:59 | Speaker 2:

You know, what's funny is that there's certain things that I think that every kid needs to learn, and a lot of it is the most basic of things to stay alive, and we don't teach that to them. And we're teaching them some of the other stuff. It's like we're teaching them, what is it called, Chicago?

00:10:00 - 00:10:04 | Speaker 1:

math or whatever the what is it called i don't know lucy does this math and i i watch her because

00:10:04 - 00:10:09 | Speaker 6:

you know you have to show your work for everything i have no clue how she does it and that's third

00:10:09 - 00:10:22 | Speaker 1:

grade common core thank you common core yeah whatever didn't they used to call it something else before it was common core but it was but you're right though it's it's like we're teaching them that we should be teaching them the other stuff really early what's up ryan just to kind

00:10:22 - 00:11:02 | Speaker 8:

of add into common core i am a 21 year old banker i um math and algebra all the things they taught me useless i guess basic algebra and stuff like that but um we ended up teaching uh like i'm the young banker we sit down with all of the young kids teach them about banking we do college rushes and stuff like that and the amount you would be surprised that they don't know just going into the bank what they need what they need to understand overdraft things like that um just kind of giving your kids basics of banking and financial understanding schools don't do it

00:11:02 - 00:11:07 | Speaker 4:

yeah i ask you a question because everybody gives me crap for this do you teach how to balance a

00:11:07 - 00:11:54 | Speaker 8:

checkbook so nowadays say it the bank likes to make it all digital oh thank you yeah well that makes sense we do still have checkbooks and with your statements we typically um suggest with your monthly statements we balance in that sense so if you're on top of your daily transactions and you want to write every single thing down then do it but use and utilize all the digital services so you can make sure that they're charging you correctly make sure that no one yeah that makes more sense yeah um i mean those digital services are there to help you so when a gas station incorrectly charges you you can call them right away and such like that yeah i i took my kids in

00:11:54 - 00:12:11 | Speaker 1:

to go open bank accounts and the people that all opened it up with them were awesome because they did that they kind of showed them everything showed them how everything works and it was really wild because we walked out of there and they were like this was better than school like they actually took it as such a positive uh because they know that that's something that

00:12:11 - 00:12:23 | Speaker 7:

they're going to need to know what's up dakota so i am 20 years old and my parents had to teach me how to write in cursive because i was never taught how to write in cursive i think they need to bring

00:12:23 - 00:12:33 | Speaker 1:

that back into schools well it's funny they're yeah they're not doing the cursive thing anymore and how do you write your signature if you're not doing it in cursive i just do a bunch of

00:12:33 - 00:12:38 | Speaker 7:

scribbles and hope for the best like it looks horrible on my driver's license yeah it's it's

00:12:38 - 00:12:51 | Speaker 1:

wild and i get that that that's the reason they think that everybody's going to be using computers or, you know, printing on in boxes, but still. And is it Annalisa?

00:12:52 - 00:12:53 | Speaker 6:

Yeah, Annalisa.

00:12:54 - 00:12:58 | Speaker 1:

Annalisa, what's the most, you know, necessary thing for a parent to teach their kids?

00:13:00 - 00:13:18 | Speaker 6:

Well, my mom and dad didn't teach me how to do laundry, and when I met him with my boyfriend, he had to show me. I was, like, 21, 22 years old. I had no idea how to do my laundry. And then he still takes my car to the car wash because i have no idea how to do that either yeah and if it wasn't for him i mean he does

00:13:18 - 00:13:38 | Speaker 5:

everything for me i know how to do like i get like clothes machine soap water turn it on i get that but if you just sat here and told me sort it out and tell me what temperature these clothes should be washed at no clue not a single clue oh no idea no even now i just put it on the bill just look

00:13:38 - 00:13:43 | Speaker 6:

That was like 10 years ago, but now I just put it on the most basic one.

00:13:43 - 00:13:47 | Speaker 5:

Yes, and they're all mixed together. I do not sort my laundry. I don't.

00:13:47 - 00:13:53 | Speaker 1:

This, I think, is the most important one, and I'm going to end on this one. What is the most important thing that a parent needs to teach their kids, Terry?

00:13:54 - 00:14:14 | Speaker 3:

My gosh. Some of these calls are making me scared. They need to know how to make their own appointments, doctor's appointments, dentist appointments, to go see the eye doctor, get their contact lenses or glasses. i i i know kids um that won't call to order pizza which is which is scary i know they need to learn

00:14:14 - 00:14:24 | Speaker 1:

how to do that but the problem now is with all the delivery services on app form it's easier just to go do it on that than actually to pick up a phone and make a phone call really well you know

00:14:24 - 00:14:31 | Speaker 2:

what you can't order a doctor through the app well you can't what if you could no you can make

00:14:31 - 00:14:59 | Speaker 3:

your appointment you know you can make your appointment but when you go in to see the doctor like mom and dad can't do all the talking for you and especially once they turn 18 you're not allowed to go in with them anymore I mean yeah the experience that I had with my boys um they went to school um at Lakeview and St. Clair Shores and right next door was their doctor's um office so when they were 16 I you know started making their appointments closer to after school time and I'm Like walk on over there and I'll meet you.

00:15:00 - 00:15:15 | Speaker 1:

there so he you know my boys had to go in there you know tell their names and whatnot so i started prepping them when they were 15 or 16 so that when they were 18 i could be like bye this is something you guys have to do one more thing off my list see as a mom your job is to put yourself out of

00:15:15 - 00:15:25 | Speaker 4:

the job and this is what we're forgetting so a friend of mine mandy just sent me a text and she said that she had to teach one of her interns where to put the stamp on a on a letter oh the

00:15:25 - 00:15:36 | Speaker 3:

mailing letter. Have you guys seen the TikToks or the Instagrams of parents giving a letter to their kids and then saying, okay, get out of the car and go mail it, and they don't know how to open the blue mailboxes?

00:15:37 - 00:15:39 | Speaker 4:

Yeah. I also don't know how to

00:15:39 - 00:15:40 | Speaker 6:

send a telegraph. Things come

00:15:40 - 00:15:42 | Speaker 3:

outdated. By the way,

00:15:42 - 00:15:49 | Speaker 4:

I'm having a conversation with Scott Mick after the show today. We're going to talk about this. Well, he knows

00:15:49 - 00:15:52 | Speaker 3:

he's a terrible parent. He would say he failed with both of his kids.

00:15:52 - 00:16:09 | Speaker 5:
