Of course I insist – my standards are his standards. Besides, I’m never asking the impossible and most jobs are menial. If I can do them, he can do them and I have been quite a patient instructor always.

The Internet also provides countless tutorials, some of which are really good.

Frankly, I’m not really all that patient, so there were times when I lost my patience and my temper. In those instances I decided it was better to outsource his training, finding appropriate classes for him to attend, e.g. in manicure and pedicure, facials and other cosmetic services, as well as massaging. I was surprised to find out how many training opportunities there are out there! 

I also took this route in areas where I wanted him to improve himself beyond my own capabilities, like sewing, cooking and gardening.

In other words: there’s a solution to every challenge.
