I have a similar story/history with my boys. As with most kids, mine are no exception, they are very different.
My oldest, the electrician, loves tools and is not afraid to dig in and try to fix it. He watched his dad fix just about anything I got my hands on.
My youngest, the teacher, recently needed brakes on his 08 Ford edge. I got the parts (I work at a Ford Dealer) and we met at my house on Saturday morning. I told him, I will help but you are doing the work.
He loved it! For the first time after all these years of trying to get him to get involved and help. Maybe it was my approach? maybe he felt intimidated.
I told him, I am not going to be around forever. He is very frugal, maybe it finally sunk in.
I am pleased he caught the bug of self satisfaction when doing something that stretches your abilities.
