I'd say my wife and I try to consciously acknowledge that l, when we teach each other how to do something, it's only as A way to do it, not THE way. But as new parents we're both getting lots of opportunities to establish our own ways of, for example, soothing kiddo. Both of us seem to be effective at it, so that's good.

But nothing that you can do that is easy for you and difficult for another? Taxes, juggling, chess?
I've been racking my brain for that. Juggling is something I can do. I taught @stinawog, now she can do it, too. Taxes I just kind of do, no need for us both to be able to do them. Chess is something I'm okay at playing, and while there may be strategies that one of us us better at, the basic game itself isn't baffling to either of us.
I am either an excellent teacher or, if someone isn't getting something, I don't notice, and just assume they do. I'm kidding. I really do think I'm an excellent teacher and an excellent student surrounded by people who are patient and good listeners.
I feel awfully arrogant about this. I suppose @stinawog has a certain way that she'd prefer a bed to be made, but it's not that I don't understand how to do it, it's just that she's far more adept at it, and so she simply does it. When push comes to shove, I believe I do an adequate job, at least good enough for her approval. Laundry-folding-wise, push never comes to shove.
What else... Improv is hard, but I'm not explicitly a teacher of it, and when we chat about shows it's always either of us is only giving notes regarding our own performances. "I totally dropped my spacework halfway through that scene, didn't I?" and so on.
Maybe @stinawog can think of things that apply. Darling, are you there?
No problem! You did give it some thought! It's a valid entry.
Perhaps it was my example that set the tone, but everyone so far is talking about what they have tried to teach spouses.... Oops, I didn't mean for this to become a gripe session about our partners!
@stinawog says she still doesn't "get" trading SBD for steem and powering up and knowing when to do what, but I think she does. There's just not, like, a "right" answer.
Conversely, perhaps I am not a good teacher, but rather don't consider myself enough of an expert in anything that I would think to teach it MY way.
