People that have been poorly parented usually end up doing the same. This is a subject that should be in the curriculum at school. In my school, many years ago, there was home economics and nutrition taught each week. My mother did everything in the home, I learnt the little I knew from school. My mother was a good cook and very clean and had her routine, but it didn't include teaching us how to cook, when I married, someone bought me a Good Housekeeping cook book as I knew nothing, a Vesta Curry was my limit. , I soon learnt after many disasters such as rare pork and very tough meat. Back then, women gave up work when they had a child until they started school but money was very tight indeed and we had each other as friends, very often walking to local playground or similar and we learnt from each other.
