OMGosh, I wish I had that stuff taught to me, well not all of it, I can now do most of the stuff on that list, but cleaning especially and many other things I can't do properly and my basic life skills are so bad my relatives think I need assisted living.

I had extensive social skills training as a kid, that helped a lot. I don't remember much of that, but I do remember lessons about when to properly say "please" and "thank you" which helped tremendously.
