What? Only a busted head light?

Swallow this one CK

My bother has destroyed 4 ski-doos, 5 automobiles, 2 motor bikes, and a quad racer. He never ran any of those items a whole year before they were destroyed. Never a finger lifted by father, no ground'n no nut'n. This was over a 10 year period. Every once in awhile we all here from him 'Oh, I take care of my stuff'. We have a deceased uncle whom he is a spit'n image of and as long as my brother is on this earth, he'll never die because of his ways about him, and not all negative.  hahahhaha My folks are the best on the planet.

Be good to yer kids

I don't know Swamp, I'm more of the opinion being good to your kids means setting bounderies, teaching, and adminstering punishment when needed.  Still learning as I go. That oldest boy of mine I grounded a few times, and at the last minute I'd let him go.  Pretty sure now that a couple of times that was a mistake. I havn't been too bad to whip my kids, never had too much.  But they ever get the idea they can run wild and tear up one car after another, I'm gonna wear their little butts out!!!!!  And if they're still living at home...... I promise you they'll be walking!

You're a good papa, ck!

Well father has a passive attitude toward everything. Personally, my way of thinking about discipline and punishment is in line with your own. But, one thing to keep in mind here is that my brother had to pay for his mistakes out of his own pocket. So he never could save a penny, always spend, spend, spend. Mother always had to handle his money. To this day if he comes into some money it's spent in no time. Then, at work he injured his back and can't work now. So father has to keep him on a set trust fund, so much a month. I blame my parents for not teaching him the hard lessons in life, he was never made to grow up.

Sir Grandpa; YOU HAVE NO PROBLEM!!!!  
You´ve done good (and still doing good) as a parent, when your son, his friend and his friends mother acts that way.
I know familys where the kids never makes anything wrong. They are just unhappy always being in place every time the forest begins to burn.........................
You also know how to tell a story..............
Thank You!
