My wife often tells me her favorite thing is being told she is wrong by the person who came into this world from the portal between her legs, and who looks like me.

Portal is a new term for it to my vocabulary bank.

I love how it's my fault that the kids walk all over her but when I say jump they jump. I've tried to teach her Dad Voice but she just doesn't have it.

My wife has no conviction in her voice or crazy in her eye to back up her threats to the kids. They actually believe me when I do it.
My kids seem to listen to me more than my wife, but I think it's because if I threaten them with something, they know I'll do it even if it sucks for me. Nobody is more dedicated to and tolerant of personal suffering than I am lol.

Really though, my kids do whatever they want. They're assholes, just like daddy.

If she were imposing like you, she would have more effect...

She needs to dig deep and channel her inner 'Seth'. I've seen him absolutely loose his s**t when we were growing up!
She's probably afraid of what she's capable of and doesn't want to unleash it. 😄

People can worship what and how they want, and I support that freedom. But, sometimes I have a few questions... could this be one of those portals mentioned above? It only takes worshiping it once and men do crazy shit to worship it again and again

My wife complains about the dogs whining all the time so she gives them treats to shut them up..
They have trained her well.
She's been out of town for the last week... no treats given, no more whining.
My kids are out of the house now and every day they spend doing things on their own, the smarter they think I am.
I'm slowly getting to where if I see their caller ID on my phone I think "Dad, how do I... " and not "I crashed my car".

Yesterday we took the kids to the dentist.
The deal at my house is: no cavities= $10.
Each cavity= you pay me $10.
Wife says "oh just let him off." I'll die on this hill lol.
One kid is still crying today as we depart for the dentist for some fillings in 1/2hr...
He's now brushed his teeth 3 times in 18hrs...
💪 Let's see if his strategy works

Update. $20 paid. Lesson learned. Now he's mowing the lawn to earn some money to replace what he spent at the dentist. Win-win

I pay my kid $20 a week to mow my lawn. It's a bargain but its also a $20 job...

If I have to come redo stuff and deal with whining I'm not paying pro prices 😂

My kids have mowed the lawn for food. I was raised that way to do my share and contribute. We also teach them about money at other times/ways so what's the other side to my thinking?

Mowing the lawn was so ingrained in me from an age I struggled to even push the manual reel mower (I still have that torture device), that I still mow the lawn myself. Although I use a gas (powered by Honda) Craftsman mower today. I'm grateful to my Dad for instilling a strong work ethic.

I was out at my dad's place a few weeks ago and mowed his lawn. Kind of different from when I was a kid though, he's a fan of auctions and ended up with a Dixie Chopper mower, about a 6' deck on the thing. About 4 times around the house and it's done in 5 minutes.

My kids are in charge of mowing, trimming, and weeding the yard. It’s how I was raised from a father who milked cows at 4:30 every morning for free. In exchange, my grandparents helped him get into his first home. I’m underwriting the yard maintenance equipment, trailer, and truck for my teenage son to maintain other people’s landscapes for money. But he does ours as part of being in the family.
