Well this sure hit me like a ton of bricks
Also, it's a hell of a lot easier to learn skills to NOT forget things so often when you're not dealing with constant distress over the problems the forgotten things are causing you, actually!
So he's MORE LIKELY to grow up to be an adult who doesn't lose multiple jobs due to forgetfulness if he's given the opportunity to learn those tactics with a safety net as a kid.
I'm reminded of a thing I saw somewhere.
"you can give a man a fish AND teach him how to fish, you know. And it's a lot easier to learn how to fish when you're not starving"
