[QUOTE="Mmac52280, post: 2589102, member: 120230"] I love being a Dad. Even more if it's possible, I love being a Grandpa. The latter allows me to spoil (within reason) without guilt. I have also been a surrogate Dad to several with mixed results. That's tricky. It's one thing when you and your rules and beliefs are well known. Something else when they seek the protection, but don't feel obligated to follow the narrow path. I always encouraged my girls to make their own decisions. I also required them to shoulder the responsibility of those decisions. So, if you want to touch the hot stove, don't whine when you get burnt. My girls are stuck with me, surrogates, not so much. My girls know better than to play in traffic too. Still, when asked, I step up. I have found both horses and dogs can help heal young people struggling. I have learned that teaching by living the example works best, that some required far more "instruction" than others, and the devastating damage done by manipulative people. The latter group should avoid me. I will go out of my way to expose and end them, permanently. I rate them below drug dealers and pedophiles, two other classes I feel make poor fertilizer as their only value. [/QUOTE]
