A Gen Z changing a light bulb in the house.

Everything seems to be generational, but for whatever reason, with Gen Z, there is one thing that they have a problem with. It was brought up on The Mike & Carla Morning Show that SHOCKED (shocked) everyone.

According to a recent survey where the end result data was put out by the Daily Mail, those considered Gen Z are having a problem screwing in a light bulb! Uh, yeah…you read right, putting in a simple light bulb.

In fact, the article points out that, not only is the light bulb a problem, but if a ladder is needed, then the job is labeled as “dangerous”!

The One Thing Gen Z Has A Problem With

Of course, keep in mind that it’s just not changing a light bulb. Other systematic chores like hanging a picture, doing basic car maintenance. Heck, even with the help of a YouTube video or Google, you should be able to do some of this right?

Well, this morning, The M&C Morning Show wanted to know from parents what their kids could do! We all know that kids only know what we teach them right? Mike O’Brian’s daughter admitted she could change a light bulb and knew what a wrench was, but might have to Google changing a tire.

On the other hand, that’s why we all have AAA right? Even Mike O’Brian admitted that, although he had changed a flat tire before, he just doesn’t care to do it anymore!

Carla Rea, as it turns out, is like Marisa Tomei’s character in “My Cousin Vinny”! Knows how to change a flat, change the oil and can even install a carburetor! As well as hang a picture and other stuff.

But you have to hear some of the stories from parents who have clearly handed down some skills to their kids. It’s all below…just hit “play” and enjoy!
