I'm 25 and have a three year old. If I had a nickel for every time I realized how much my parents were right and how much they loved me and how well they cared for me while growing up, Id be a millionaire. To all those teens out there that are too cool to give your mom a kiss on the cheek when she cooks you dinner or your dad a big hug when he leaves work early to watch your ball game, please, dont make the mistake that nearly all of us make and just do it! You WILL realize this when you are older and have kids on your own. Mark my words.
Watching your kids grow....

so true. Also, this goes out to the Dad's who may not be close to their kids. Every second that past is a moment in time that will never repeat itself. Spend time your kids and be actively involved in their lives. Main reason I cut back big time with the hobby. My weekends are spent with my kids and things they like to do. If it means sitting there to be the target practice for my 3 yr old girl so she can shoot me with her Nerf gun or be actively involved with my 12yr old and his sports than these are the best times spent..
Aww yeah you guys are right! I was so mean to my dad growing up and now that I see all the hurt I caused him I want to cry everytime I think about it! You say mean things when you get mad, you can't take back words! After it comes out you can never erase that!

Don't hurt yourself over that. It is the growing up process at work.
Your Dad knew you loved him, as your kids will love you, even when they hurt you.
I have two boys myself 14 and 12. They both did baseball and are really good pitchers. My 14 year old just started highschool and went out for cross country. I try to push my boys to be more independent. Today kids are so spoiled with cell phones internet being driven everywhere. I try to get them to go explore on there bikes. When I was 12 I rode my bike everywhere.
When my boys started 7th grade I said no more drives to school. Your going to start riding your bikes or walk. Boy my oldest bucked whined and cried to his mom. I made him do it and now he likes it. I see him getting more independent responsible and growing up. Now my 14 year old he doesn't want to do things with me as much any more which I don't mind. He got friends he rather hang out with. My 12 year old has just started 7th grade. He was a little scared too about riding his bike to school. But I made him do it. He still like to do things with me. He likes fish and goes with me everywhere fish hunting. But I know this will probably change too once he gets into highschool. As for there school work they are both Honor students straight A's I don't have to make them do there homework they do it on there own. So I'm not worried about them there really great kids.
