- Start date
One 17 month old, and our second girl due mid February. Glad the second one is a girl too. We got a Christmas tree from the church youth this year, 3 boys and a girl helped load it up. 2 boys started arguing who was taller. One boy kept explaining that he didn't know how to do it because he delivered last year. Girl quietly tied the tree to the car and instructed the other one when needed. I was so impressed, and grateful to have a girl.
After we got home I discovered it was barely tied and probably a miracle it didn't fall off, but she had the right attitude is the point.

Yet none of your schools have been big on emphasizing punctuation or sentence structure apparently...

My daughter is about to be 18, and is a senior in high school. She has a damn good head on her shoulders. 4.3 GPA, National Honor Society, etc.
We've kept her busy with FFA and 4H, showing lambs and goats for the past 8 years. She's got 9 lambs and 5 goats this year alone. She spends around 3 hours a day at the barn. It's costing a fortune feeding the herd, but it's worth it.
My point is the same as others have mentioned:
Keep them too busy to get into trouble. An older friend of mine told me something that has stuck with me all these years.
"Show animals are expensive. You can either pay it and keep them busy, or use that money getting them OUT of trouble from running the streets."

I worked with a guy who had a daughter the same age, been doing softball for years. One day he was talking about the cost of bats, gloves, driving all over the southeast, uniforms, etc. I was blown away by the numbers, but he just shrugged and explained it was cheaper then rehab, getting pregnant, or any legal fees.
Good for you and your daughter, I'm sure FFA gives kids a great work ethic and sense of accountability.

This year is on track to be around 12k before its over. That's just animals and feed. Every major show cost around a grand in travel and entry fees. She had around 3k from last year's sales, so it's not ALL coming out of my pocket. Thank God this is the last year. I'm getting nauseous just thinking about it. And then she starts college in the fall......
Wasn't aware you are the grammar police. Knock off the jabs at Camaro Man. Tired of dealing with PM and reported posts. Same rules apply to you Camaro.
