Funny that I found myself in to this category. Everyone had cheat cods because their dads would teach them stuff but I started doing stuff on my own as an adult, I was very bad at it but eventually got decent enough and I'm proud of what I accomplish even if it is not exactly best quality. But I still feel that I'm lagging behind other dudes.
Saved a ton of money on car maintenance, plumbing, electrical, woodwork.
I feel that. My dad knew how to do most of that stuff like the back of his hand, but was usually too fucked up to really teach you anything.
My adulthood has been a long line of learning basic shit from scratch just so my wife and kids can have something resembling a put together home and some savings for when shit goes wrong.
My dad would tell me to fix things around the house or at the family business because he's too cheap to hire a professional. It was on me to look up how to fix whatever shit broke down that day. I got really good at changing out fill valves in toilets.
I guess in a way the lessons learned still helps me out as an adult, even if he contributed nothing to the learning process.
