    i feel it was offensive. the o/p was happy that his wife made it. that other poster "Todd", could have said his insult in another thread, and just be a "gentleman" and wished them good luck.

    That is what will make her successful right there.... willingness to learn. World would be a better place if more people thought like that.

    It's very easy for husband trainers to jump in and do all of the hard stuff for the wife/student. IMO, most times you want to supervise while the student learns the hard things, not just train them to do the easy stuff. It's best for them and for you. It's no fun for a student who has been protected from the tough stuff to HAVE to do them when there is no other option and the trainer is unavailable or out of action. It's nice to ease the student/wife into doing the hard/dirty tasks but not allow them to avoid them altogether. I know several teams where the wife almost never backed and never dropped or hooked. The wife essentially could go down the road without supervision and everything else was the husband/trainer's job.

    KUDOS to you, @Barbeque and the Mrs. I taught my wife how to drive with Tanks. She was probably better (safer) than me, tbh.

    She had ZERO interest in learning with me, when I pulled for FedEx/LineHaul. Doubles wasn't in her vocabulary then, and still isn't. She's got the endorsement, and will probably NEVER opt to use it.

    Good on you, bro. Beautiful lady you got there, too~!! :)

    I don’t think this thread was created to get compliments on his wife’s looks.
