I keep thinking of the All Alone Dad ad and imagining Tbird in about a decade or two.

This is why we need to vote on who gets in and who doesn't get access to taggyark! Everybody knows that former military peeps who live in San Antonio only use USAA.

Yes, but did not want to stick it there where it would be lost in my request for updated baby pics from Tbird.

You brain donors let DRACONIAN SANCTIONS on this board. You lost all rights to complain about voting. I warned y'all about this.

They are cute until they get old enough to drive and ask for money
:(
The first 5 years until they go off to school they think you are a God and adore you. Then they socialize with kids their age and learn to scream and throw temper tantrums. I had some backbreaking jobs till I was 16 and I survived. Sometime I think they need kids to have similar and get them ready for life.
Participation ribbons just create special little snowflakes. If we really want to MAGA then we need to teach kids trades at an early age so they can support themselves and move out of the damn house!
There is nothing better tho then an infant sleeping on your chest.
Enjoy these years while you can

so my daughter is 12 and in 6th grade... We have refused to get her a phone as she doesn't have a need for one and to my surprise, she is fine with it. She didn't like it at first but she handled it well and didn't piss us off about moping around for not having one since most of her friends do. So far, she's been relatively drama free.
Now my son, who is 9 and in 3rd grade, had an issue with a boy. They didn't like each other, call each other names and push on each other. Standard shite. Three days ago he asked me if he got bumped again could he hit the kid. I asked him to do exactly to me what the kid had done to him. After feeling the bump I said he could NOT hit the kid. I did say the kid needs to throw the first punch and then you can feel free. But I also said he needs to make his attack so brutally vicious that neither that boy or any other boy wants a piece of you. He needs to fight that one fight so it will prevent any others in the future. He knows how to throw some good punches and use his elbows for good effect. I went on to tell him that he will most certainly get in a lot of trouble at school for fighting but as long as he wasn't the instigator and he was only defending himself he was good by me.
His mom and my bride didn't like my advice one bit but frick it, a boy needs to draw the line and sort shite out amongst his peers.

I got picked on a lot in middle and highschool, as I was very undersized and a nerd. No one ever gave me the above advice, but it's pretty much what I did one day. Except instead of punches (which I didn't have the strength to really do much good) I opted instead for biting, eye gouging, nut punching, basically went totally nuts. Took 7 other kids to hold me down after I worked myself up, and I was the smallest of all of them.
Afterwards, the kid who had taken my aggie hat and was pretending to throw it in a fire gave it back to me and apologized. I never had another problem with a single kid I knew after that.
It really does work.

Young boys need to be able to take a punch in the face. Surprised how many kids go all namby pamby when they get a bloody nose. Your advise is sound and kids should be taught the fine art of fisticuffs at an early age. I was taught to never start a fight but to damn well be prepared to end one.
Sad too say but you are correct about extreme retaliation as I was considered the the passive one until I beat the crap out of the class bully in 3rd grade. I went a bit farther than necessary but after that nobody picked a fight with me or around me. While not popular at the time, I was always the first picked for sports teams. I was told about 30 years later that the one with first pick wanted me defending him and not attacking him.

Senseless violence is just that, calculated violence used as a tool is very effective. If you are going to put hands on someone then you give no quarter, you will be amazed at how long the reputation will follow you. You must also teach them that there is always somebody who is willing to go further than you and to be prepared for that eventuality. You must also teach that there is going to be guys that will hear about this reputation and will try them, it's truly a catch 22.

It’s my personal opinion that if we let the kids fight it out we wouldn’t have assholes shooting up schools.

You showed great restraint

While I am no spring chicken, that was the good thing about old school parochial school education. First, the nuns knew how to bet the crap out of you and toughen you up from an early age. Second, most every catholic school had at least 2 sports (basketball and boxing) so you learned how to fight pretty early on. It was always the quiet ones you had the worst fights with. Learned this in my late teens and early 20's in my youthful bar fights.
Not sure what the point of Catholic school is in todays world.
#1 No more nuns teaching
#2 No more boxing teams
#3 No more 1st and 2nd generation Irish, Italian, and Polish kids for sports
Eventually you learn about soft tissue and where to apply pressure and that fights need to be over in 5 seconds or so and you pick up fewer scars that way.
