Putting away socks is a useful life skill. It has taken me a lifetime to learn the importance of putting stuff away.
One of my fondest memories is teaching my son (technically step-son) to tie his tie before the prom. (He asked to drive the Speedster to the prom but I said "No" and I'm still kicking myself for it. It would have been quite a memory for both of us.)

I quit making videos.

And that's a shame. Your videos are great. You get right to the subject and don't dance around it for 10 minutes before actually imparting some instruction. I automatically skip the first 1/3 of most how-to videos because it's usually bull5hit.
"Today, we are going to show you how to wipe your ass. But first, here is a 20 minute history of ass-wiping." No thanks.
I think the concept in the OP is great! Instruction in basic life skills is badly needed. A lot of today's parents don't have the skills themselves, so how are
they going to teach them.
I'll watch some of his videos and see How Dad Did.
