Maybe The Lord teaching us kindness and patience. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
I can tell you that is why I received my little girl. Whenever I get upset she just straight up tells me what the Lord has been trying to; "you know dad, I don't like it when you talk angry, you only have to talk nice to me". Cuts straight to the heart. Then I get a big hug.
Been there done that Mike. and menapause aint no joke. Just go shoot yourself now, it's easier. If not, she might!!
folks, I moved posts from another thread over to here because it was not truly pertaining to that the original thread was about.so lets continue to talk about the costs of owning a home/s utilities here.http://real-man-truckworks-and-survival.com/index.php?topic=1295.0
cherish those memories brother
the two family videos I cherish most are the ones of me running behind each of the kid's the bike and letting go without telling them and turning to my wife and pumping my fists in triumph!
Spent some time with Sophie last night. She's grown 1.5" since October and is big enough for her big girl bike now. Not only big enough, but races the thing up and down the street, has fallen twice but no tears. She's "almost ready to get rid of her trike, but not just yet daddy. I still like it". Ran inside afterwards to tell her mom that "Daddy taught me how to ride my big bike!". Melted.
whats this helmet that you speak of ryan?I learned right quick that it would hurt if I hit my head and I would be sure to not do it again.
How did we all survive without helmets, seatbelts, riding in pickup beds and staying out all day without supervision or water bottle 3 feet away????
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Well, the oldest is now 13 and the youngest just turned 11. I gave my oldest a phone when she turned 12. When I gave it to her, I told her that what I was handing her was as dangerous as one of my pistols. It had the power to ruin her life and that nothing she does or says on that phone should be considered private. I've disabled everything other than calls and texts, but still that's enough to get her in trouble.She needs it to communicate with us as she's involved in a lot of after school activities like dance, debate, Nat'l Jr Honor Society, etc. Last week she leaves it on the bench at school when being picked up. We went back and it was gone. I tried to activate find my phone but it was not installed onthat phone. Fortunately someone turned it in at the office. So I was updating software and installing anc activating Find My Phone and decided to do my fatherly duty and review all her pictures and texts. Found a friend that was texting her about sending dirty jokes. My daughters downfall was not telling her friend not to send them. Instead she said, send it and then I'll delete it and that her battery was about dead so she would respond and let her know when to send it.....So....I texted her friend as though I was my daughter and told her to send it. It was innocuous "don't foget to blow up the beach balls" I guesss getting the word "balls" in a joke was dirty for them.So I called my daughter out on it and she knew she was wrong and knew she should have told her friend not to send jokes. I also reinforced that nothing on that phone is private and she should talk to her friend and tell her she got in trouble and that she would appreciate her not sending anymore jokes. Ofcourse my daughter wanted to text her and I said, no. You need to talk to her face to face in person.I also told her that if I caught her again (and I'd be checking) that she'd lose her phone and ability to particpate in after school activities.Have you guys dealt with this? how did you handle it?Are there any sofware that logs all keystrokes and text messages?
