My son wanted to do something stupid and came to ask how to do it in best possible way (first victory)
I explained to him the disadvantages and possible consequences of the whole idea.
He asked if he could do it. I told him that it was up to him to decide if the experiment was worth the trouble or not. (big internal victory. Obvious answer was “fuck no you madman 🤣)
He decided not to do it (second victory)
NGL I’m pretty proud of myself
Nicely done! Now I want to know what the idea was 😂
Hah! Well done brother! Nobody's born knowing how to parent.
Really curious what he was planning to do though 👀
Can’t ever remember asking, neither did any of us fall down from those facades & shit ;-)
I often used the age old do first ask later approach. Mainly because the asking never ended well…
Permission… Hmmm… I remember being back in a town up far North in 2012, first time since 89…
I was STILL looking over my shoulder instinctively once there haha!
The shit we pulled off that last spring in the army… Should probably still be classified ;-)
It's a lot harder to walk them through it and leave them choice, but it pays off huge in the end. (2 kids 18 and 20, turned out pretty good)
