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

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

Damn, dude. That's nice

Was his first cast that night also. Haha.

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

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

@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)

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

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

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.

It takes a village.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

@Attrition in the desert estate, huh?

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

He just turned 2 last month

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.

@Grossly Incandescent

My wife took a WIC breastfeeding class the other day and they said it was ok to smoke and drink while breastfeeding

Made me really mad

@Grossly Incandescent my granddaughter,also from stepson enjoys her girly stuff,but is also learning to enjoy boy things too like trucks,lizards & eventually hopefully they may soon get her into karate or there abouts,she is 5. She loves her pink & princess stuff,but also anything ypu can get your hands on educational wise,book,puzzles,etc too. She is a quick study.

Holy crap! @Grossly IncandescentHell no!!!

Yeah, her and Grandma thinks it’s because they want to give out as little formula as possible through the program

Any nutrition stuff i could do while pregnant was big,my bad was i still smoked at the time but did eventually quite. But i never once drank!!

I remember being nervous & worried about the food,etc i took in while pregnant and whatbi fed her after. I only wish someone had taught me how important breast feeding was,i had nobody to rely on,both mothers were alraedy passed away.

Yes my mother smoked with me & i think drank too,but i never got the chance to ask her for any parenting advice because she passed 6 months after we were married.

And my mother n law passed 3 months prior to daughter being born and she was old school,didnt talk about stuff to me..
