[QUOTE="CHASMAN9, post: 172675, member: 307"] My dad was all about hard love. My brother and I hated him at times and as a result we were a bit closer to mom. I look back now though and realize how difficult it was for him to discipline us when we were screaming how much we hated him. He did the RIGHT THING, not the EASY THING. Mom tells us stories now about how he would cry behind closed doors at having to spank us, or because his feelings were hurt so bad at the things we would scream at him when we were mad about being disciplined. We never saw that **** though. I look back now and think what a brave man he was, how he took our **** and kept plugging away at work to provide for us. I can tell you right now, I will never be the father he was. I just hope I can be half of what he was and it is because of the things that we hated back then that I think that now. We're expecting our first daughter in Sept. J. J. [/quote] J.J., is your father still alive? :dunno:( I hope so) For all of you that still have him around, consider yourself LUCKY. My dad was also the [u]ENFORCER[/u] and I was always pissed off at him for his tough love. I lost him when I was 20 years old and in college. I never realized how much he did for me until he was gone. His stubborn ways were my best teacher. Being one of four boys growing up, I took alot of ass whoopings and thought he was the anti christ, but in reality he got me where I am today, a better man. Later in life I saw his thought process of involving all of us in sports, it got myself and all of my brothers scholarships to college, all the while knowing the expense if he was to pay for all of us to get an education. [b] IT WORKED[/b]... Bottom line is this; When you think you or your child is doing wrong, take a step back and look at the BIG PICTURE and re-evaluate what is really important. Love your kids like there is no more tommorrow and remember that you were once a kid and did the same ****. Congrats on your new addition coming in Sept. thumb.gif [/QUOTE]
