Mom, you have to solve your own problems and handle all the challenges that life throws at you. So, today we give you three tips of how to be self-sufficient.

My brother, you are a failure. Reminding you that even your clean clothes probably look like dirty clothes and smell like the cat that's been on. So, what's the answer? Good habits. When you get home from school or work, resist the urge to toss your clothes into the nearest pile. Take an extra 5 seconds and put your clothes into a designated hamper. Hamper. Hamper. When the hamper gets full, don't just keep piling clothes around it, waiting for a hamper fairy to come and take the clothes away. Put the clothes in the washer. It's a simple process. Although, I do recommend washing your white clothes separately, unless you want your white clothes to become pink clothes. I like that pink shirt. It's supposed to be white and a dress. If you aren't sure how to start the washer and dryer, it's usually as simple as just setting it to normal and pressing on. I know it's crazy. Just don't forget to add some detergent unless you would like to continue smelling like a cat. Hey.

People who don't learn how to problem solve let their problems pile up and overwhelm them. There's too many problems. It's uh the perfect way to live a terrible, stressful life. Solving problems isn't easy, but it's far better than letting your problems defeat you. So, here are some quick tips on problem solving.
