My daughter got stuck with a first year room mate that had the worst helicopter mom in history. This girl hit 18 YO and didn't know how to perform a single domestic task. One weekend involved a bit of drama when mom couldn't make her standing Sunday appointment to do the Kid's wash, grocery shop, stock the fridge with expensive, ready to heat meals, and put fresh sheets on her bed. In a panic, the girl asked my kid for help with doing laundry. As mine is busy doing her own wash, the girl tells her that she has loaded the machine, and want's to know what's next? My daughter takes a look and says, "Well, the first step is to pull all your dirty clothes out of the big machine marked DRYER and stick them in the one that says WASHER". Later that year, the kid was in a panic when her Lean Cuisine ran out. My kid told her to just make some spaghetti. The girl was begging my kid to do it for her, My kid was busy with a paper deadline, and replied, "time to grow up. Either follow the directions on the box, or go hungry"
