I still remember my mother’s 3 rules when I turned 13.

1) don’t get a girl pregnant. “Don’t be a fool, wrap your tool” were her words in 1998.

2) don’t take hardcore drugs. “Happy with you doing weed and bongs but none of the hard stuff or pills”

3) never never never ever get on a motorbike.

Bravo! Sometimes boiling things down tests the depth and breadth of knowledge in unusual ways. You are clearly deeply committed to your Dadly Duties but also obviously deeply knowledgeable about parenting. Your writing rings with truth.

I raised our kids to be able to create or find tools they could use to create solutions necessary to overcome problems in all facets of their lives. You are setting your kids up to not only survive, but make the most of their lives. That education is priceless.
