Does this mower make my tractor look small?

... Daddy look what followed me home can I keep him?? ...

As fare I know that's the time when you show 'him' you arsenal of weapons and explain him the tactics of not killing but disabling everything below his neck!

I hope I can control myself and give her later the freedom she need's.
We all did stupid things and I have also realized that everybody need his own experience and will not adapt that kind of knowledg from others.
I hope I will be able to go one step backwards so she will have the choice to take and not tighten her to much with restrictions that she just want to push me away.

May plan is to challange her in/with life instead of pamper her.
Most parents blow any toy's up their children asses, don't give them a chance to fail and wonder why their kid's are so bored by life.
Will not happen to my daughter!
Interesting enough is, she likes to take the effort and rise to a challange!

A buddy of mine said he's planning on having a pig on hand when his girl brings her first boyfriend over. Have the BF watch as the pig nuts get cut out and tell him to remember that when he even thinks about touching his daughter.
I dred the day when my girl gets to that age.

LOL @ BullDog!!!
Carl my friend thats all you can do teach them the best way you know how let them reach for something and fall when they fail,, but being close enough to pick them up,,,,and help them try again,, There have been some that well should have never made it out alive but, they never came back to the house. And from my 2 daughters I have gained 2 sons, one a Marine, he will be a lifer an upstanding man and husband, and the other an EMT,Paramedic, search and rescue, Trainner and full time Fireman, both great young men that love my daughters and my grand babys,, maybe I just got lucky, but I like to think I played a little part in it,,lol

My wife and I were sitting in the liveing room with our 2 dogs, (yellow lab and black lab), about 10 oclock last night. She said "ready to go to bed??. Okay girls, (labs), let's go to bed. Both dogs got up, walked down the hall way and laid down next to my bed, one on each side. I asked my wife, "Why didn't our kids obey like that??" She said, "I guess dogs are smarter than kids? (bg)

Not that my kids are bad but it would be a treat if they minded as well as my dog.

Cabu, you treat her like she's an angel, tell her that she is an angel, and that you expect her to always be an angel, she will continue to be your angel. In other words, keep the communication going. I think many folks fail in this one simple thing.

You are dead on, Tim. I have two daughters, and a 17 year old son in Heaven. Communication is crucial, coupled with transparency. Tell your kids that you aren't perfect, admit when you've been wrong, practice what you preach, tell them often that you love them, admit that you're wrong some more, and put them first- children are your highest responsibility and priority. I gave up a multi-million dollar family business because I knew that the time it would demand would cause me to have regrets later- and I have never looked back. It allowed me to have quality time with my kids, which I can't make up for now with my son. He died 2 years ago March 6th in a car wreck. Naturally, I wish that I could have more time with him, but I have no regrets about sacrificing time with him for other things. I have also valued the time with my two daughters that much more. My wife and I are extremely close to them, and it is reciprocated, not forced. We know when we are dorks, and they know that we try, and honestly love them.
I am a youth pastor, so I also see the difference in the families who communicate and are honest with their kids, and those who don't.

Ha ha you all complain 'bout children. My father works all week as a truck driver. I'm the one who ends up running, maintaining and repairing our B2920. Spent an hour putting on the mower deck today just to find out that the cutting height adjustment is broken and won't move under 3". Any ideas?
