Situations like this maybe increasing. But, some kids have always had a situation where the maid is 'mom", if you know what I mean.



We only had 2 kids, my mom didn't work and we had a live in maid but my parents always did the important stuff with me like teaching me how to ride a bike. Teaching your kid how to ride a bike is one of the most fun things ever, I don't see how any parent wouldn't want to be involved with that!

I still ride my two girls a$$e$ and they are in their 40s. I don't think parenting ends as long as there is still life.

Drive a standard

I don't know if this true or not, but a friend told me it cost more to buy a standard than automatic car these days. That's crazy

911 is standard 7 speed manual. Dual clutch auto is like a $4,000 upgrade.

Okay Captain, sorry about your friends arm. I was just throwing shite out there making a point. No reason to fly off the handle. I won't be teaching my kid to throw a curve. Mostly because I don't know how to throw a curve.

It's not my friends arm that is messed up it's his life. His Dad told him he would pay for everything he needed if he stuck to baseball. Kid is in college about to graduate and has never worked a job in his life. He's going to be fricked. Kid is really smart too

I never could do this and my dad was with me every single day. In fact he's been and still is the biggest influence in my life.
He taught me all the others though ( and a lot more)

No need to edit. I just sucked at baseball. I was a decent offensive tackle tho.

There have been numerous studies illustrating that the type of pitch does not affect the arm as much as the total amount of pitches thrown does. With that in mind. If your kid is a good pitcher, teach him a 12-6 curveball. Not hard but it's effective

My mother said don't get anyone pregnant. My father said keep your dick in your pants son.

Cool parents.
