I go outside, grab the chainsaw, and start the process of clearing the trees we have already felled.

While I agree with his goals, his and his wife failed utterly in their methods

Kids complain about work and rather not do it so the parent collapse ro the kids whim and wind up doing the work the children are supposed to do? Fail!Who are the parents here?

Children are the clay of what adults are made of. Waiting til they are 18 and then expecting them to be "prefect adults' is one of the many reasons why this nation is in the state it is in.

When I and my brothers were young, we hated work and lots of work was needed on the farm. We grumbled. we complained we fought but in the end all it did was delay the work that needed to be done and we weren't going home or swimming or playing till ALL the work was done.

These parents failed as parents because they didn't want all the hassle that good parents have to do to make young boys and girls into strong young men and women.

Willing to bet their children will return to the nest or have "failure to launch"

All he proved is that he is good at making excuses. His children will no doubt be the same.

Happy Father’s Day to the Catholic Christian FRpers.

My dear father is now just a memory now. Been gone now for nearly 20 years. It makes me now lean on God, the Heavenly Father now.

My husband could make a lot more money if all he cared about was making money. We decided two decades ago that we wanted a family life, and his career choices let him have a real life with our children. Our two oldest, 27 and 24, were over for Father’s Day dinner. Bill will be going on a week-long kayak trip with DP and some others in August. Anoreth doesn’t think she’s in shape for it - a space is available because Elen will be going to Marines boot camp - but she’s proposing he take up golf again, which he hasn’t played since 2000 or so.
