Sarge Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Nice. These days it's actually quite a challenge to raise a good kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donbryant993 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) My wife and I who are newly married are trying to have our first child... honestly.... I'm scared to death! I hope to enjoy what every other father is entitled to, but pray to GOD he or she doesn't behave like their father did in high school/college.. lets just say I've "enjoyed" my adolescence... I am beginning to have an understanding as to why my father has so many grey hairs... Edited January 20, 2012 by donbryant993 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowtop Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Brandrum I like to say congrats on your daughter an your family too. Yes it is hard to raise a good kid these days, I teach the teen boy's class at church all I have to say is wow they have it hard, times are very different. Both my children are honor students, not on drugs and they attend church. As I said I am blessed. Yes driving is the hardest part of being a dad but I think leaving him at college is going to be worst he or she wont be coming home everyday. To be honest I dont know how my parents did it with out cell phones like we have. Good luck Donbryant993, being a father is wonderful. Thanks to all.

want2race Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Yes, Congrats. I look at all the stuff I used to do as a kid and wonder how my dad let me do what I did. I was riding my dirt bike to the gas station by age 8. I pumped and paid myself. I would be out on my own riding in the desert for hours upon hours. Home by dark. My son is 6 and I don't let him walk 8 houses down the street by himself. I was very independant, but I was also given the freedom to be so. I find it hard to let the leash out that far, but we live in the city. I grew up in the desert, WAY out of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
