Yea, and you probably drink and smoke in front of them as well...scarred for life, they don't stand a chance...seek counseling now.
Yeah, I'm a real hardass. I let them shoot my guns, and have swordfights with real swords. And I make them endure cold, wet weekends on mountain trails and sailboats, and do chores, and earn their own money. And if their grades drop below A's and B's they have to endure long, loud lectures from me and do physical labor. And if they sass their mama they get a quick demonstration that dad studied various martial arts. I'm a hardass.
Funny though, everybody tells me I have terrific sons. Polite, they say. Generous. Humble. Take the initiative. Smart. Look out for others. So they're surviving despite my manifold incompetence.
