Having 2 boys 4-5 yrs old, just be thankful their grandparents spend time with them. Thats more than mine do and it pisses me off. Hats off to the man and thank him for it.

I don’t even remember who taught me or when I learned to ride without training wheels.
Your son likely won’t either. It’s not a memorable moment for him, just for you. Not a big deal. All that matters to the kid is that you spend time with him.
I do remember my dad teaching me to water ski but I was like 8 or 9 yrs old when that happened.

You're being ridiculous.

I barely remember my boys first ride. There will be plenty of other firsts. Don’t sweat it.

While I can understand your disappointment, the premise really is ridiculous. There is a whole world of shite out there that your boy needs to learn, so make a list and teach him something new every week...it really is your duty as a father.

He will be just as excited to show you for the first time, what grandpa taught him. Cherish both memories. He will. Chill and enjoy.

This thread made me remember.
My mom taught me. She pushed me and said "I'm going to let go now.
Pedal. Keep pedaling. That's it."
I was 5.
Fwiw my grandfather taught me to swim.
My grandmother taught me baseball.
My father was doing ww2.
End transmission.

You are being dumb.

I’d rather a kick to the nuts than to have to teach another to ride. My middle boy took about a thousand attempts to get it. The others just a few pushes

That's something that I will NEVER be able to do now. My father in-law effectively took that experience away from me as a dad.
Then, teach your grandson ... your son will bitch about it on LunarDroppings.com, and the cycle will continue.

The kid hasn't ridden his bike in months. The opportunity hasn't really come up in a while and I was waiting for this spring to do this. It just bothers me.
Here is your problem. If you don't change your ways, I'm certain you will have more moments of disappointment in life life this.
You don't wait for opportunity to come, you make opportunity happen.

Be there for his first BJ and the world will be right again

We would all feel the same way, but then we would get over it. You need to share these things with your guy friends and not your wife. Your buds will understand. Your wife will not.

Its ok to be upset but it's not something big enough to do anything other than Keep you being upset to yourself. You'll have plenty of memories to make with your son and now you can make them riding bikes together.

The balance bike is the way to go. We got my oldest one around the time he turned two. By the time he was three and a half or so he started asking for a bike with pedals. We gave him one for his 4th birthday and I never even had to touch it. He just started riding like he'd been doing it his whole life. I was blown away.

Both parents work.
You're going to miss a lot of things.
It's why my wife quit teaching to stay home with them. I've missed a lot with my kids, but that's part of it. The flip side of that is having grandparents who are dead or don't want/can't help at all. Be glad they are engaged with him and he's not dumped in frot of a TV.
Stop posting on TD and go take em fishing and camping before they get to that without you also.

Be happy your son learned how to ride a bike. Now you can go bike riding with him!

But yes. Many people have had great success with using them. I actually put the ol strider on the curb about a month ago

I never met my grandfather until he was dying of cancer. I wish he could have taught me to ride a bike.
