When did Maytag start to go bad?

I’m actually a parent, but all my kids are grown, my youngest is in the late 20s but I do have siblings with teens or younger kids. For example, my brother is 49 and his kids are 14, 17, and 20.

I can agree, some of the kids/young adults can be problematic, and parents often now wash their teenager’s laundry for them.

As for magic chef, I don’t think they should've made laundry appliances anyways. They should’ve stuck with kitchen appliances which I think was the case until it was bought out by Maytag, correct me if I’m wrong.

Maytag makes cheese in Newton, Iowa still I think, although I don’t think they’ve ever been a division of Maytag Appliances plus the logo is different.

I think the biggest problem with youth today is that they don't have much curiosity. Without curiosity, there's no drive to learn and grow. I was an insanely curious kid and drove people nuts because of it. I was also extremely hard driven, no one had to push me or light a fire under my ass in to pursue my interests, I did it myself.

I was doing laundry at 9 years old because I was very curious about the operation and machinery. Most of my friends had their mom or dad (who were single dads) doing their laundry up until college. They were completely ignorant about laundry, cooking, cleaning, auto repair and maintenance, small engine repair and maintenance, maintenance of appliances and HVAC equipment, diagnosing and fixing problems with all of the above. I was well versed in all of that before I graduated high school out of extreme curiosity and drive. Spent countless hours at the library before the internet existed.

In addition to violence in video games, and films maybe. Sean, or too much curiosity? The type of curiosity we had as kids is different than the type which puts kids in dangerous predicaments., other than electrocution perhaps. Maybe it's a different type of inquisitive intellect from genetic and personality development, if you catch my drift. We knew, but didn't know how or why we were different yet. Maybe that makes us less of a follower looking to others for curious discoveries. Of course that also went poorly un the 1980's and beyond once many hit puberty and began exploring for s e x in the wrong ways and places. None knew yet they were infected.
