re: Question for the OB Dads

My 5 year old sometimes comes with me, but it is never real hunting and that's fine. Just like spending quality time with little man. Most times he just wants to take the boat to an abandoned railroad track and throw rocks in the water and that's cool b/c he's 5 and not sitting on the couch zoned out on video games or TV. A little of both are fine but not the whole day...
Anyway, maybe ask him if there is anything he would like to do? No rule saying he has to like the same things that you do, but you could also try doing something with him that he has interest in, works both ways and don't forget he's 5/6. Just my $.02

You could also try "get your arse in the truck" but I'm not sure that sends the right message. I mean the whole point is for little man to one day make his own decisions and fight for what he believes in, not obey like dumb dog. Sure he should respect mom and dad, but "get your arse in the truck" has nothing to do with respect IMO.
