What if it Snows?

You want to know what the difference is between us and the kids these days? Our parents. Bit of a rant. So don't take personal. Give him chores. He's got all day to do it. Either early when it's cool. Or the heat of the day. Doesn't do it. Loses [insert game system] till he does. Still doesn't. Loses TV...etc. If you want him to succeed. YOU need to be the parent and teach him. Just like our parents did.

 

Most people dont realize that fireworks absorb water from the air. Unless the store has the AC cranked up. The buyers need to put fireworks in a area where fireworks are going to dry for a week. Otherwise you can expect alot of fizzling and sputtering. Winter time is best for fireworks

 

Usually I’m not here to make him do it, and all I do is get into an argument with his mom, so I just try to entertain myself with the though one day he’ll grow up and learn, but I doubt it.
I can go throw a fit, make him do it, then I’ll hear about it for a month.

I can put away the game consoles, computer, phone, until things are done, which still won’t be done, leave out, come back his mom gives the things back, so no support there, so I just let them figure it out, but he’s in for an awakening when he moves, as he won’t get anything from me, might, just might, get a $500 savings account for starters.
But then I’m done.
I worked for everything I have, including first bike.
Without that, travel was on foot, that’s why I see his bike thrown in the yard, not using kickstand, he don’t care, mom will buy him a new one

 

Tell the kid to take up trucking if he wants to make it like his old man?

 

Then for his 18th birthday. You get him a nice set of luggage. Fully packed.

 

A army duffle bag.

You need both parents to raise a kid right. But what can you do? Is he good at school?

 

I won’t be the one packing his things.
I pack enough every weekend for my own travels, I’ll throw the stuff out the door.
Can’t be brought up on destruction of property, cause I’ve bought everything and there’s not a law on breaking your own stuff.

 

Nope, won’t go to school, walks off campus, or if it’s a bus ride to school, he walks off and does who knows what til bus ride home.

 

first job on the ranch was chucking bales....no pay, food and a roof.....I was 10. then I got smart and got a regular paying job sorting eggs and packaging the orders....paid 2.15 hr.....thought I was rich at the end of the summer!

 

You can’t teach him anything, he knows it all.
I’d say military school.
But I was vetoed.
