Fathers...I need help!

I've had that feeling since he walked of the boat yesterday morning.
 
While mistakes happen I don't think that's the issue, ( I know that's not the issue). It's more like what did I miss or forgot
 
One question I got asked a long time ago during a job interview was "Do I change the oil in my car myself" I said yes I got the job. Later I found out the reason for the queation was not to see if I knew what was under the hood but to find out out if I was willing to try things out side my skill set. Self reliance. Does he change his own oil? Probably does.
 
I like that question.....but yes he does. He helped with the oil on the twins, to me it was outside his skill level. He also helped yesterday replacing the anchor rode
 
It's always close! It never leaves my side, but that v8 piston gets alittle heavy at times so I have a baby six as well
 
They may think they have a good plan but at 18 and 20 they cannot have enough wisdom to realize that in 6 or 7 years they will not be the same people they are today, unless they are completely different from every other 18 & 20 year old walking the planet. She will have different dreams, desires, hopes and expectations that will be different as an adult as compared to the wants of a child. Think back to when we were 18....most of us had our heads planted so firmly up our butts that we couldn't hear good advice to save our lives. Which brings up another unfortunate point, you can talk until your blue in the face and unless they process a certain amount of wisdom as well as respect for your advice they will not listen. Instead, I think I would drive home the point that an 18 yr old making major life decisions such as getting married comes with major responsibility. They will need to live and deal with their mistakes, it wont be as simple as 30 minutes in timeout. For instance is the future groom prepared to cover the $100,000 tuition bill or does he expect you to pay it as well as keeping up her an allowance? If he really wishes the best for her he should at minimum insist that she complete college before getting married. Good luck.

Both marriage and death ought to be welcome: the one promises happiness, doubtless the other assures it.

He is insisting she goes and finishes JMU. He knows I worked and paid for my wife to finish at W&M.

Too funny!! Is that like a "Bird in the hand vs two in the bush"?
 
It's not the power of the piston......it's the follow thru of the swing
