re: Name something crazy your dad had you do growing up

My dad was (is) OCD, so when my mom went out of town going to bed was like an hour ordeal
We'd probably spend 10 minutes in the kitchen by the stove looking at dials and burners with him going "off, off, off, off" "ok you come behind me on that" and I would have to do the routine back to him. Then we'd take a couple steps to the hall and he'd go back and check again. Of course, neither of us used the stove to begin with.
It's amazing I don't have any of it, even via nurture

I could fill a page with crazy stuff my ole man did with me following in his footsteps.
He was an avid outdoorsman and we made many freezing duck hunts/fishing trips with terrible clothing and no doubt someone would fall in the lake.
One time he was going to build his own wine cellar in our back yard so he dug this big arse hole lucky it didn't cave in and kill all of us

Every summer my dad would order a truck load of sand to be dumped in our yard and instruct me to distribute the sand to the "low spots" in the yard. I'd spend the next couple days shoveling sand into a wheelbarrow and finding low spots and smoothing sand over them with a rake. Somehow...there were always low spots every year.
My dad was in this vein (vane? Not sure.)
I was woke up 30 minutes before sunrise to mow our 4 acres every Saturday until High School. Got some breaks in the winter months.
I mean EVERY Saturday. I grew up in West Texas so it’s not like it was lush and green and growing all there time.
One of my favorite things he made me do was dig a 250 foot ditch 2 feet deep by 3 wide so that he could run an irrigation line. With a single shovel. He never installed it. I’m fairly convinced he did that just so I didn’t sit around all summer.
Just a product of the 80s/early 90s. I don’t begrudge the man.

I’m betting this is what happened. I grew up in the 70s and we never had a milk jug dissolve from gas.

At 16 years old my dad made me wear a suit and tie to a job interview for part-time work at Burger King! The entire staff were laughing their asses off...even the interviewer. So embarrassing!

me and my brother would sit on the hood of his truck with the headlights shining between our legs and shoot rabbits as they ran across the road in the dark
I was like 7-8 at the most
He would also make me move the wood stack every time I said I was bored. Like every time. Just move an entire fricking wood stack between these 2 trees over 10 ft to 2 other trees. And then back again.

I have a lot of stories.
First one that comes to mind is when I was in 3rd grade the classroom intercom came on and announced for me to report to the office because my father was there to pick me up.
Excited I take off for the office and meet my dad. We then go to the car where my older brother is already there. Still excited I keep asking where are going? What are we doing?
Dad never said a word.
Car pulls back up to the house and we walk inside the living room. Dad asks "didn't your mother tell y'all to clean your bathrooom?" "Did you do it?"
"Yes sir she did." "No sir we didn't."
So he tore our asses up, made us clean the bathroom, and took us back to school.

He had me bush hogging the pasture when I was still too little to reach to the clutch. He’d get me going in like 2nd gear and hop off. Sometimes I’d be done and just keep driving in circles until he noticed.

My grandpa had me chain a tire to a four wheeler, light it on fire, and drive around a field of dry wheat stalks after we harvested. I was out at a bonfire all night before so I wasn't thinking but he had me start upwind. When I got to the back of the field, there were knee-deep ruts because it was still muddy when we harvested. I bottomed out on the four-wheeler between the ruts and the fire was raging right at me. My leg hairs started to singe and I was counting down from 5 before I ran off into the woods and left the four-wheeler. It finally caught from me rocking it full throttle and I superman'ed out of there

The world needs more dads like yours. A lot of the societal problems we have today would vanish immediately.

Torqued the heads on a DZ302 Chevy when I was 11. He instructed while cracking an Old Milwaukee.
eta-Held the flashlight from around age 4 I think.

Are we related? I flipped a Big Red when I was in 4th grade with my younger cousin on it with me. I have no idea how we survived that. "You know not to tell your mother when we get home, right?"

THIS!!! Ours didn't even have brakes lmao. I had to just down shite, then when the clutch would burn up, he'd make me "fix" it or hold the flash light for him.

He also made me take his little stick Nissan truck to the gas station down the road to get him something when I was maybe 12. By myself on a main highway. I made it there, stalled once in the parking lot of the store, then had to stop for traffic before turning left onto our street and stalled right in the middle of the road. I panicked and had to jump out and push it the 15 feet across the street as oncoming traffic was barreling towards me.
Never told him what happened, just asked that I not have to do that again.

Imagine what his dad let him do.
I've got several pictures my grandparents took of different kids running the boats.
