[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1417554, member: 6291"] Every kid is different... every parent is different... every situation is different. Its this "we all need to do it the same way" attitude that is destroying our country. I see this all the time in the schools. The exceptional kids suffer because every one is pandering to the average and below average. My brother and I did things at two completely different paces and we were raised in the same house, same environment, only a couple years apart. Our parents had to use their judgement day in and day out to decide what was acceptable on a individual basis. Society has parents so scared to do any thing with their kids that we have a bunch of mindless 20 & 30 yr + kids running around who don't know how to do squat. How many headline say "more millennials than ever still living at home in their 30s".... ya because the law doesn't allow them to do any thing until they are in their 20s. At 30, they only have 10 years of real life experience under their belt, at best. It wasn't that long ago people had their own families, and farms, and all kinds of stuff at 30 years old. How could they do it but our kids cant? I was just watching a video about the history of Texas ranching where one of the men said he would drive a team of horses like 6 miles back and forth a 5 or 8 years old delivering some thing from one place to another. So he could drive a team of horses with a wagon, 6 miles in that rough country, at that age, back then... but a boy now cant drive a skid steer in pasture. :roll: Accidents happen... the sooner people understand they cant control every... single... thing... every... single... minute...of... every... single... day... we can all get back to being the great people our grandfathers were that built this country.
