Same if he wins, talk about luck and how he had it and might not again, spend it wisely. Lessons and such

Yeah I regret saying kids gambling is bad, they should be mocked if they spend their allowance on a slot machine and then want more money

they shouldn't get dinner that night to really teach a lesson

Yep, like how I mocked my son for wanting “a hat in time” the game..

I've heard that game is decent tbh

Me to but I’m pushing for more online play (he needs to socialize more)

so you mean 90% of all games these days?

real hard push

AAA games that is

Sports? Online socialization doesn't do as much iirc

Na, that’s a myth. I hear him playing with his friends from school. He has gotten much better at communication over the last few months.

Good step, if he's really that isolated.

But still, the in-person stuff will be a major step forward I think.

if you live in a major city, there may be meetups and such for whatever hobbies he has.

And if you ever been in a good guild with many friends, that can be a small community. I want him to try and build that with friends at school so they can make RL plans. Sons kinda nerdy but super smart. But yeah, 100% he playing football next year.

touch football i hope, otherwise thats a good way for him to quickly become not smart

If he's straight, he's also gonna want to meet chicks. Certain types of hobby meets are best for that. ;- )

E=mc2 they little at 10.

Football's good for that too though.

wise dad applies the physics of scale to risk assessment of CTE

its not the speed of impact, but how often

I like wise dad's son's odds here.

brain doesn't do too well if you keep shaking it around really hard often

Soul doesn’t grow without it in my opinion

give that brain a little shake

just saying

As long as you're not passing the shake gradient

there are plenty of other sports that are little less brain killers (soccer, basketball, or baseball)

or if you want him to be a real man, fuck football, go to rugby

heheh

I Just don’t think you guys have kids. They are kinda little pussies. Slow and weak compared to what we were. No fight as school since my son has been, like in the entire school. Shits dif

At 10.. he is what I was at 7.

Yeah, I grew up recently in North America, can corroborate that I have never witnessed a fight on school grounds

But he’s smarter then I was at 14 lol

I did see some kids selling speed though.

i mean, even if you step into a fight and never throw a punch they will suspend you these days

in what I would describe as an upper middle class neighbourhood

not the kids who are pussies, its the parents

So much focus is on education from birth, you almost forget to let em be rough. It’s weird you will see

I witnessed a few but I'm closing in on the 10 year mark since HS

they cancelled goddamn dodge ball when i was in middle school
