I don't know if my kids are so lazy but they are really getting crafty!
Unlike some parents I know, I haven't had to haul them out of jail-mainly because they knew I'd tell the officer to keep em until they repaid their debt.
I have always been big on putting responsibility on them from an early age, and rewarding where they have done well.
They have been encouraged to participate in team sports, and I have been dragging them to the library since they were in diapers to instill the love of books.
That, and getting them afield to learn about hunting, fishing and talking them into joining the Boy Scouts has really helped to give them an understanding of people and nature.
And, despite my own parenting mistakes, they have made me a proud parent in many areas over the years. I can hardly believe my luck.
I was somewhat surprised they have chosen to serve their country in uniform-the youngest is in high school ROTC and is chomping at the bit to enlist just as soon as he is able. I gave up my right leg many years ago due to my own service, but I never pushed one way or the other. One benefit of being an Eagle Scout is the military will give you a stripe upon enlistment-something I did not know.
There is one good thing about my "guns for kids" program-I get to replace my battery with new stuff
Way to go P95-it seems to be common to put the young folks down these days, and it really warms my heart to see there are young adults who enjoy firearms and handle them responsibly. We all see the ones who are skipping school and chasing the latest fads-the ones we rarely hear about are those putting their shoulders into making a decent life for themselves.
