Virtual baby sitters lol. Im trying to raise em like we were raised in the 80s and early 90s lol. I think this generation needs a dose of that real badly these days.

I remember they do this at a playground in England. you drop your 8 year old off with a box of matches and let them get it out of their system early. a junkyard the kids can do whatever they want.
took me a bit to find it. The Land, adventure playground in Wales.

We have been doing that with River too! Both Alycia and I are very anti-tablet and phones when it comes to him. I think you see a shift in kids who are on iPads and phones all day vs those who don't use that stuff at all. If we survived as kids without that junk, he can as well.

ACHTUNG; commentary coming from last night's posts.

Not able to join y'all as much as I'd like, especially on weekends which are so incredibly crazy 😜 😫 but I think about all of you and you're always with me no matter what...

What do you mean you think about all of us and we're with you no matter what? That's nice, and all, but I would prefer that you think more of Kevin @kevgib67 or John @kingranch2003 than me when you are in the bathroom.

Good evening and good night everyone. Too many pages to catch up, did I miss anything?
Click to expand...
Yes, you missed things. Much discussion about me. Mostly how everyone thinks I am a wonderful, caring and generous man. You also came up, a couple of times, but it was all stuff I will not repeat because I'm a wonderful, caring and generous man.

kingranch2003 said:
No surprise there Kevin! Ive seen the pics of you guys fishing. Great stuff. My guys are the same way. My 9 year old spends a little time making his YouTube videos on the computer, but other than that, we're very limiting on screen time.

You must share your son's YouTube channel with us.

I love that you take your boys out in the woods. So many people that days just stick a tablet in their hands ora video game.

I take lots of people out to the woods. I come back, alone, nearly every time.

Discipline and accountability are a couple of things that seem to be sorely lacking.
