That's exactly what my father has done with my brother. He doesn't know how to do anything considered "handy". Tire goes flat? Can't change it or plug it. Locks need to be changed? Doesn't even know where to start. I could open a tool box and he'd be very puzzled. It's sad, but my dad never bothered showing him things and instead chooses to make fun of him for his lack of knowledge now that we're adults. I only know a few things but it's thanks to my grandpa who took time to show me stuff because my dad didn't want to show me since he feels girls shouldn't know any of that.

My baby boomer dad can't DIY anything either. He just always told me to work hard and save money so you can pay someone else to do things you can't do for yourself.
