I totally get the worry of injury. I broke my arm playing football. But a kid won’t think about that and just get upset

2018-07-21 19:06:18 UTC  

That being said, though, my brother broke his wrist a few summers ago at Freshman football tryouts

2018-07-21 19:06:49 UTC  

Maybe flag football if the option is available?

2018-07-21 22:10:12 UTC  

You don't really have to worry about head injuries until high school. the kids simply cant hit hard enough at that age

2018-07-24 02:23:09 UTC  

I think there is a lot of value in boys playing physical, team oriented sports, though if we have sons this will probably be an issue of contention with my wife and I. Depending on the school, you wont really run into a lot of pituitary case blacks, either.

I played through high school and dont regret it, even though I had at least one concussion, a broken wrist and beat up knees and shoulders. College ball is something else entirely, though. Probably not worth it.

I'm not a parent but I wanted to share pictures of my niece.

She's definitely a mover I took about a dozen pictures and these were the least blurry.

From some father son time. My 10 year old and middle son.

2018-08-03 20:31:05 UTC  

The fish was 4 lbs 5 ounces and 14.5 inches long.

2018-08-03 23:02:45 UTC  

Damn, dude. That's nice

2018-08-03 23:31:49 UTC  

Was his first cast that night also. Haha.

2018-08-03 23:32:11 UTC  

If your kid can’t fish and hunt are you even raising white kids?

2018-08-03 23:36:22 UTC  

I grew up in the suburbs, bro. It's a depressing fact that I never learned to be a man

2018-08-03 23:36:48 UTC

@JesseJames I'd love to hunt and fish unfortunately my dad never took me as a kid (I don't think he knew how either)

2018-08-03 23:58:33 UTC  

You don't have to live on a lake to fish at one.

2018-08-03 23:59:37 UTC  

I grew up in the suburbs and I did hunting and fishing and camping and milked a cow and drove a boat

2018-08-04 00:01:01 UTC  

And to be a great dad, you don't have to know how to do everything, just make sure to expose your kid to all the things. If you don't hunt, but have a friend who hunts, or a fellow church member, or the boy scouts or something, your boy can still learn to hunt.

2018-08-04 00:01:15 UTC  

It takes a village.

2018-08-04 00:15:37 UTC  

@John O - @Deleted User @Zyzz come out to South Dakota in October or November. I'll teach you how to kill for your food.

2018-08-04 00:24:42 UTC  

Gutting a pheasant is pretty easy. We do raccoons and coyotes out here too pretty much year round. Most guys would probably consider me pretty small but I can definitely teach you all a thing or two.

2018-08-04 00:25:45 UTC  

I've gone into the woods and shot boar because they're an invasive species. I want to do python in the Everglades sometime

2018-08-04 00:26:19 UTC  
2018-08-04 00:26:58 UTC  

We have wild boars at my parent's estate, used to have our ammo bought by camp blanding to keep the pop down

2018-08-04 00:28:30 UTC  

Once it starts cooling off we'll start culling rattlesnakes. I've got two so far this year but they sun on the roads during the fall so they're easy to get.

2018-08-04 00:34:56 UTC  

I just realized how far from parenting this conversation drifted, but any parents who want their children to know how to kill rattlesnakes call me.

2018-08-04 00:36:53 UTC  

@John O - I'm still planning it. Remind me to talk to Leo about it, but I'm so down

2018-08-04 00:39:53 UTC  

Real talk, I probably am not up for it. I have a strict policy of not mixing Federally regulated items and dissident politics

Yeah I was also raising hogs with FFA at the time so it was slightly ironic.

2018-08-04 00:42:50 UTC  

Sometimes I feel like a good grounding in agriculture is a vital skill for a child, it helps bind generations together through the familiar connection of soil.

2018-08-04 01:30:54 UTC  

When I was really young my grandfather taught me all of these things and then I enjoyed them with my father later in life. I was raised hunting fishing farming playing sports and doing motor sports. So now I am passing along the same things to my son.

2018-08-06 00:42:16 UTC  

Something I've noticed with my grandson,my stepson's son,is he has been with mama & daddy too much,so trying to get him exposed to other family & friends on regular basis helped,also stepping up with dads getting involved with more in his presence is helping him not be a mama's boy. Getting a whole way to expose him to more guy things is helping in addition to the normal nourishing from mama,a decent balance of both sexes. Also in the future helping to teach him various fishing,hunting,target practice,sports,etc will help round him out.

2018-08-06 00:43:43 UTC  

Also as a lil girl,i learned some of these things .too

2018-08-06 00:44:40 UTC  

Any tips on bringing up a baby girl in this crazy world?

2018-08-06 01:03:40 UTC  

He just turned 2 last month

2018-08-06 01:05:39 UTC  

Try to teach her all ways of traditional worlds,yet also round out some nicely in how to take care of herself by self defense & also fishin,hunting,an equal balance of both things.
