... your son gets old enough to help you do the things you need help with.

Went out to the garden to take up the plastic and weeds and there is no way I would have gotten everything done tonight like I did without him.

He is 16 and stout and doesn't seem to have quit in him. He will go as long as I will and more.

I am a very lucky man.

Let's her about your kids.


How many lies will people believe before they realize their own idiocy?

It's great till he is working 50 hours a week and you are alone again and know what it was like to get a lot done.

sometimes you still get some help and then it is great again.

enjoy it while it lasts , cause it goes very very fast. like everything with kids.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Well my son is at the age to where when he helps takes twice as long but he is 6 so its usually about 3x the laughs so it aint bad. He likes you to explain what something does, how something works, and why it is necessary for it to work that way in great detail. When he goes trapping with me set making takes a little long but dang if it aint fun... Till he throws a rock on the set I just finished up lol.

#1 son was 3 when we went to one of my pheasant pans to put peepers on. He would net them and I would do the install. Worked perfectly.
