Nevermind just read the above post lol. I would have never believe you were 47 Hoss.
Nobody thinks I'm that old until they see my hairline. Other than that I still look young and the maturity level is probably on par with a college student. I kid, I kid, kinda.
I have finally grown up considerably, in the last ten years. But, it took many years of learning from my mistakes. My son is trying to make every mistake I made, plus a few more. He made me a GrandDaddy at 42. So, I have had to mature and that doing what I say, not what I do, wasn't getting the point across. So, I've tried to do what I say more and hopefully, he will follow my lead.
Although, so far, I've gotten it right with my 26 year old daughter. She managed to earn her Associate's Degree from Roane St and has a decent job. I want her to earn a Bachelor's, but like she told me, "Daddy, I ain't no scholar". As u can tell from that statement, she's not. But, she does pretty good for herself and is very independent(doesn't need a man or want kids).
Of course, it really does take a village. I've had a bunch of help from both my ex-wives and their parents and especially, my Mom. Without my Mom, a single parent that made the blueprint that I try to follow everyday, there is no telling where I would be or my kids. I'm getting deep like an episode of Rick & Morty, now. I lost my Mom last year and that has made me grow up even more. When u lose your safety net, u better grow up. Plus, I don't want to let her down. Anyway, sorry, I gave u all half my life story.
