Far from it. His mom took off after he was born and basically I was a single parent for 7 years before getting remarried. We did scouts and all the regular stuff. Just was tough for him not having a mom around when he was little.

^ Absolutely this. Dadding can be hard sometimes. "Many hands make light the work."

It's easier than some people think. Just do the stuff that you were going to do anyway, because it's fun and you like it, and just bring them along and teach them how.

Mrs. Bulletstopper and I raised 6 boys and 1 girl, and the crop of grandkids has been, shall we say, "abundant".

And all the cool toys are always kept at Grumpaw's house. All the so-called "dangerous" shit.
The best part is that my boys bring the kids here specifically so they CAN do these things, just the way they learned.

Fireworks, home-made model rockets, gokarts, minibikes, a couple tractors, guns, knives, axes, a working forge, a machine shop...

Having three generations of Bulletstopper White Men at the range out back, with Grumpaw and Dads supervising as the boys learn proper firearms safety, and marksmanship, or in the shop making their very first home-made rockets from scratch, that will get fired that very day right out back (after that store bought rockets are for the peasants), makes it all worthwhile.

Not to mention a whole library of books containing dangerous thought crimes that you just can't find in the public library anymore.
My grandkids learned about "Little Black Sambo" before they could even sit upright in Grumpaw's lap.

I sleep like a baby, with a smile on my face, knowing that, in spite of everything, I did this shit right.

And how exactly would he do that?

It used to anyway.

No, it is a reference to dr. Sigmon freud. He wrote about how young females have a thing called penis envy. Most of these females whome don't adjust we call blue bair karens.

What makes you say that? Just curious.

Real men don’t think about their son’s penises. They just know it’s going to be put to good use, like you did on his mother.
