Sounds like all these kids need a one-way ticket to Parris Island...problem and future solved.

Only if your ass is going back to instruct!

I'm sure there are folks that will say I do too much. Personally I'd love to do more. I just want good outcomes for them and for them to not need me forever.

I very much doubt you're doing too much Tim. All of my grandparents told us grandkids that they wanted to work harder and make sacrifices so their kids and grandkids could have a better life. My dad and his brothers
felt the same way. So far, all us kids/grandkids are doing well, with only two exceptions (cousins of mine).

Kids see that example and it almost always makes a lasting impression.

no its on his parents for coddling him and putting the racing above everything else

I see it as on both of them.
Parents for giving constant hand outs and the kid for not cutting the umbilical cord and standing on his own two feet.

Lots of forms of free-loading in this country, not just family endorsed.

As long as my son keeps with the straight A’s I’m not gonna make him do manual labor like me. I hope he becomes a scientist or something.

Everyone benefits from a little manual labour. They only way to learn what is best for us is to do some things that we don’t like. Need to know what we fall back on if we slack and fail and the learning stuff. A lot of motivation can be gained on the stupid end of a shovel.

There is lots to be said for all the summer weeks we spent on the uncles farm as kids.

Nice, what model? My every day carry is a Buck 303c. Daughter got it for me at Army-Navy surplus over 20 years ago.

I’m not even sure, will try and remember to see what the box says when I get home.

Always worked around the farm and helped the neighbors growing up.
One of the things that stuck in my mind is something me ole pappy said when I was about to turn 16.
I said "dad, I'm gonna need a car soon".
He looked at me and said "then you'll be needing a JOB sooner".
He always helped me, but he made sure I knew there was no free ride.
He did more for my younger brother, and it seemed like he lacked some of the motivation I had.
Maybe just the difference in people...

I agree with ya. My old lady thinks her kids need first cars bought for them when they become of age. My first vehicle was a $300 87 s-10 that looked like Swiss cheese. Kids these days are getting brand new vehicles that mommy and daddy pay for and all they do is destroy them

I’ll buy my son a car but he will have to get a job to help with gas and insurance.

The day I left my phone in the car at the grocery store and the rugged ol girl in front of me checked out with Black Velvet, a cucumber, and Hershey's syrup still haunts me.

You got it back when you returned to your car the next day from her place tho surely?
