What Did Your Father Teach You When You Were 10 That Most Adults Don't Know Today...?

Everybody's a Cowboy until it's time to saddle up.
I was a Single Dad and it's the most rewarding and yet difficult job ever. It's easy to say "I would do this." or "I would do that.".
It's a little different when you're balancing a budget, going to daycare and then work, then daycare, then College, then home at 20:00 hrs and doing laundry.
Most rewarding thing I ever did, but I honestly don't know how I did it. To hear someone who's never been in the drivers seat say "I would never be like that.", just means you don't know or can't relate.
You get to make some shitty decisons as a Dad.

It wasn't easy for them either, but like you, they just thought "what is best for the kids" and then did their best to do that. None of this shit is easy, especially on your own.

I spoke with my Son today, he's all excited about graduating and his first "Big Boy" Check coming in.
He's doing alright, he thanked me for school and the discipline, that made me feel real good.

And pump the brake pedal.

The first time I was given a real job, handing him the 9/16" wrench in his jumbled mess of a tool box, I handed him a crescent wrench.
