Here's the saw, I'll have it ready in a minute. Where's the truck?☕

Here you go☕

I’m craving some homemade apple pie when I get back home. It’s going to take a while to settle in and recount that whole message he sent me.☕

This is freaking gold. I honestly need to copy-paste this whole thing just so it’s preserved for all eternity.🤣

Poor guy😢

It’s a bit of a long read, but stick with it until the end. If this doesn't move you to tears, you probably don't have a heart🙂

Please help out however you can; every single dollar makes a difference☕

We're stronger together☕

Once an OFF topic, now a clone topic☕

If you say so, then I can stop worrying—everything's handled.☕

Eden, we're just chilling and typing away here.👋

I'm seriously lacking in the relaxation, health, and love departments lately.☕

Ha!☕

And there's always that option too—if you want me to smuggle something through Austria via my godfather Anthony’s little guy, who drives for some Canadian outfit.☕

Hey Bob 🙂

No sun, just rain, and I'm freezing. 🙂

It’s absolutely scorching out here today. The sun is beating down like a furnace.☕

Hey, grab a 🎉 go for a hike

In the end, the dad finally sorted it out. His kid showed him some boxers, and he just lost it. He said he’s going straight to the principal to demand to know who authorized kids buying stuff like that on a field trip.

I had no idea he had such a cold-blooded kid. He tells him... "Son, I'm the one who bought those for you."

Luckily kids are terrible liars; once they grow up, you'll be busted.☕

Bob and you, have a frozen drink👋

Keep your eyes peeled and watch your back, Bambi. 🙂

Wise words. You have no idea how much I needed to hear that.☕

Later, guys.👋

Jack, staying quiet for too long isn't always a good thing.☕

I won't be typing much longer anyway; I've got work to get to.🕺

We spoke today. He laid it all out for me, and as of right now, everything is under control.

You made a solid point about old friends. So, if Little Jack is only 12, I guess I need to go find some 25-year-old buddy for him to talk to and someone else to hang out with me.😒☕

You’re just talking for the sake of talking at this point. You think you’ve laid everything out perfectly and solved all my problems, but honestly? You’re just spinning your wheels. We need to actually find something.
I need a recommendation for a young educator for my kid before it's too late. 😬

Sure, they could pick someone younger, provided the person actually has some brains. But let’s be real—going with the older crowd usually plays better.☕

How is Donkey so damn smart? 🤷
To put it bluntly. 🕺

That's the secret. If I gave it away, I wouldn't be half as smart as I am now—and honestly, my edge would be completely gone.😁

Megan Chase43 said:9532

Yeah, he needs some time to let everyone hash things out and get on the same page. But once they reach an agreement around lunchtime, that’s usually it. Everything's set.🙂

A changing man will always take up someone else's time.☕

I honestly don't think you, me, or any therapist out there actually has the answer to the situations they're facing.
Their childhood and youth—compared to ours—isn't just a typical generation gap; it feels more like a gap between two different civilizations.

They can coordinate an entire brawl in fifteen seconds online just because someone hit "dislike" on a post.

He’s still young; you've got a few years to figure things out, so don't stress too much about it.☕:r ofl:

Lord help us, at least we aren't throwing punches here on the forum.☕

Look, the least you can do is keep repeating yourself until it sticks. He'll eventually stumble into trouble, especially if he's into fighting, but the main thing is that he doesn't cause trouble himself. There's only so much you can do from a mother's perspective.

But seriously, I don't even recognize what kids are like today when he comes up to you and says, "Hey Mom, look, I bought some boxers."🤣 🤣

Back in my day, if I talked back like that, my mom would have kicked me right out the front door, and don't even get me started on my dad.☕

It's interesting how kids usually learn their lessons by listening to neighbors or older friends rather than their own parents. They often view their parents, especially their fathers, as the enemy. His dad could be a world-class educator, but he'll probably struggle to get through to him.

Like I said, I'm doing a lot of philosophizing here, but I'm not really saying much.☕

hiddenmarlin14 said:9540 Is there anyone looking for snow shoveling work instead of just fighting with each other? ☕ Given how it started last night and today, we're going to have knee-deep snow over here. ☕

You'd rather exploit them for labor? It's better to discipline them three times a day than to hand them a shovel or a hoe; that kind of thing will break them mentally for life. They'd hate you until the day they die.☕

I can't exactly play shrink through a screen. It’s hard to give you any real advice when I don't even know the full story. You should probably talk to someone who actually knows you personally if you want actual guidance. I could sit here and philosophize all day if I wanted to, but it wouldn't do you much good.

Maybe I'll have a moment of clarity later. I can't exactly type out deep thoughts while I'm on the clock at work. 👋

Send him to my small town for some training; around here, what you're doing is basically a professional sport.☕

Thanks, really appreciate it🙂

Alright, catch you guys later👋

I’m going to hang out on the forums for a bit longer before I head out to get some exercise and move these old bones around☕

9563

This is really tough.🤣

Trust me, he’s smarter than I am.☕
