Millennials often get a bad rap as entitled, grown-up babies, and stuff like this is why: in Portland -- where else? -- you can take classes at the Adulting School.

That is, classes that teach the participation medal generation adult skills like how to pay their bills, or mend a broken shirt button.

It's heady stuff for a demographic that is, by and large, older than most of the men who stormed the beaches Normandy, where there were no safe spaces, both of the figurative or literal variety.

"When you have so much information available to you, what do you choose to learn, what's important? There's every single thing. Like I could make flan right now,"  half-joked Rachel Flehinger.

 

The school's two founders hired Flehinger to handle press attention...because apparently even they couldn't even.

Okay, guys.  What went wrong here?  Why don't young people know anything?! I think I'm in Generation X or something, I'm pretty old.  Did all parenting just fail miserably in the last few decades?

Actually.... I bet I could use a few adulting classes.  I mean, I pay my bills, I can sew a button.... but I bet there's SOMETHING I'm bound to be lacking on. Probably a lot of things.

What do you think?  Would you attend an "Adulting" class?

Skillfully yours,

Behka
