At least he didn’t throw you in the river to learn how to swim. It hard cutting you way out of a gunny sack.
Your hands weren’t tied? How were you supposed to learn?
Hilarious. I was taught to swim by being thrown off a pier by dad (I’m 62 yr old female).
Both of my kids grew up to be productive members of society. They received no allowance (couldn’t afford it on my wages alone; dad never paid child support back when you could get away with that).
Son is in the AF, married with 2 yr old daughter and my daughter has been happily married for 19 years and who works in retail management.
