Reminiscing

Ha,
If you don’t think your boys will not have amazing experiences, then you’re still smoking hooch.

Sounds like the classic “my kids are perfect… they don’t do that” parent.

All I will say is there are too many experiences I had as a child that I hope my son will never have to experience. As far as the “party” choices, I am sure they will come but hopefully not until later in life than I did. All I can do is try to direct him to make better choices when time comes. You still must let them make their own choice and let them learn from them. Crocs camping

Are we sure pitching a tent with our buddies down at the river at 14 was / is less safe than having a cell phone or internet?

now days you wouldnt even be able to make a kid do that without a cell phone

Are you sure your kid is “missing out”? I’m sure your (and my parents) knew all the dangerous and dumb ass things you and I did as a youngster. As a parent of now adults I didn’t know all…and at this point don’t want to…kids turned out great.
