What is fun is walking the dog and coming around a blind corner to see someone with a cat on a leash.glad to hear she is safe. when our cats go MIA we have a list of places we check first, as our cats like to find odd places to nap.
should note our cats are indoor only. but we are working on leash training them.
Parenting is hard. Realizing you're doing a poor job and that there are things you can change is pretty powerful. It's never too late...wish you the best.I'm realising that my relationship with my oldest son is broken. I'm too hard on him, and see everything he does through a negative lens. it breaks my heart caus' he's not a bad kid, but obviously, he reacts poorly to my negativity. and so we have a vicious cycle. I have to find a way to fix this before its too late. He's only 12, so there's still time... this being a parent thing is hard. sometimes, just being a human feels hard... blah.
Eastern or Lexington style ?@jstuhlman

My old man was sorta like that, now I do work that he says I have gone too far and I call his stuff sub par. Still, having an unsupportive parent sucks the big one, so if you can sort that out you will both be better people because of it.I'm realising that my relationship with my oldest son is broken.

I told one of our apprentices to get a new job, he was getting hammered with negativity at work then going home to his mum doing the same thing. He was a nice kid but other people were making his life difficult for no real reason.
Now he's making $10/h more than me, and he's studying a second trade then going for an engineering course in the coming year.
YES YES YES YESYou found it *by* accident!
kindly do the needful as it needs fixed, thankYES YES YES YES
this sentence needs fixed.
Pretty much planned on saying the same thing. It's all about balance and the fact that you had this realization now and want to make a change will mean so much to him too!Parenting is hard.

My Dad was like this when he was around.My father was an abusive alcoholic and drug user; the abusive stopped sometime in (junior?) high school when he went after me and I took him down.
That sucks. Look. I realize this is easier said than done, but work hard to not be negative with the kid. It stays with them. Your relationship with your children is much longer as adults than when they are children. They will do shit that will drive you crazy, maybe do the shit that you see in yourself that you don't like, and that is hard to see. Bu they need space to grow, to fucking blow it, and learn how to fix it. It can't be done in a vacuum, or by you talking at them, or in a negative way. Work your ass off to do it in a way that is not judging or blaming. We may think we know what is best for kids. We don't. We need to help them figure out what works for them.I'm realising that my relationship with my oldest son is broken.

I used to enjoy riding the local super busy XC trails on 2.1" slicks.Awesome ride today. Met some dude who just moved out here from C'ville. Worked in one of the shops I used to frequent and knows a bunch of my old riding buddies, fun to chat about "the good old days".
At first he was shocked I was able to keep up with him on a hardtail. Then I went first on the next descent and dropped him like a 10mm socket.
Up-selling is powerful.I used to enjoy riding the local super busy XC trails on 2.1" slicks.
One day a dude looked at my bike and asked how I got to where I was, obviously you can't ride shit XC trail on a hardtail with slicks.......
Some people still seem to think that a hardtail is a useless bike, it's weird.
My wife would get sick of waiting for me if I rode a hard tail.Up-selling is powerful.
Just like how everyone needs 4 wheel drive so they can drive plowed and salted roads when it snows and a half mile of maintained dirt roads to get to trailheads.
@Westy do you do your own top side oil changes on your VW? If yeah, what pump do you use?
