Yesterday, after work, the boy and I went out in the jeep. It was beautiful weather, about 80 degrees. Loaded up a bag full of pistols, a few boxes of ammo, a couple of towels, and a bit to drink.
We 4x4'd out to a nice secluded spot on the river, a few miles from anyone else. It's a place that you can't get to without four wheel drive, so most people don't bother to begin with. The ideal spot has had some people camping in it for the last week, so we had to back track to the next best spot.
From there we did some target practice, he got to try out my full size pistols instead of just the smaller ones this time. His aim needs work, but his grip improved since last time.
After that we went for a swim, jumped off the rocks across the river for a while. Eventually we got tired and swam back across to where we parked. We skipped rocks until we were mostly dry and packed up and left.
It was a good day. Don't forget to build memories with your kids.
Sounds like a great day. Keep having days like that and it will make life a lot better down the road. I didn't have a full day like you did, but I had a few hours with a grandson. We picked some blueberries and had a seat on the ground for a while. It was in the cool of the evening and the perfect setting to spend some quality time. I had a couple of nice, hand rolled cigars waiting for just such an occasion.
It’s a grim area for me. My friend fucked up his life baving kids and now he’s stuck with a woman he shouldnt have married telling me he he regrets having the first one only to pop out another while being house poor.
The other poor bastard hates his job and lives vicariously through his boy in facebook. Just because he’s a parent doesnt mean he should give up on his own life. What I see is laziness and lack of ambition disguised as “Self sacrifice for muh kids”
This is why I want to have my shit together first so I can take good care of my kids. None of this constant unloading them onto a resentful grandmother shit. If I need to wait a few more years, that’s fine. I’ve pissed away so many years so what’s a few more?
You can wait all you like but you will still make mistakes, just like everyone else. I have three boys, each eight years apart, so I was a very different person when each was born. I have and continue to make mistakes but they know that I am trying to do what is right for them and that I am learning too. Good luck; kids are awesome.
There's never a good time to have kids, but there are worse times for sure. You're right about lamenting downward as well. Don't burden them with your problems, let them be free while teaching them the lessons you learned the hard way.
So you consoomed shit made from china(electronics in a jeep), used oil produced in saudi arabia, were good goy for military industrial complex and shot at beer bottles. Fuck yeah, classic murica. The only saving grace was swimming, but you are still a faggot.
To type this you consoomed shit made from China ( electronics in computer) used internet( military industrial complex) and shot this bogus schpiel from your mouth (fingers) produced by some whore (your mother)
