What is time, indeed! My 33 year old son was the same with house chores. Happily comply with any request, but it would never occur to him on his own to wash a dish, empty cat box, or take out trash.
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Happy Birthday to Mack!
I'm afraid I was like that about everything but pet care when I lived with my parents. The perils of being raised by a supermom who took care of everything. But I was at least taking mental notes and jumped pretty seamlessly to being self-sufficient when I moved out, minus the one obligatory red item washed with the whites.
Friends even told me that they'd never seen the shared apartment as neat/clean as after I moved in (a scary thought in retrospect), but that was a function of just having come from an immaculately-kept home and basing my housecleaning standards on that. And my roommates would always join in on the cleaning once they saw me with a vacuum or mop, it was just that I was the one with the lowest something-must-be-done-about-this-mess threshold so I always broke first.
