dark - send him to me
teach him locksmithing
I love my work

That's definitely something that can't be outsourced either.

You know, it's a real pity that more folks aren't encouraging their kids towards these sort of jobs. Pretty soon mechanics, locksmiths, repairmen, etc will be the highest paid jobs out there because so few people know how to do anything.

I'm a pretty bad parent compared to Dark too.

My kids only two and I've already started the vicious circle.

Him: Cookie?
Me: Eat your food.
Him: Cookie?
Me: No.
Him: Cooooooookieeee??! *pout face*
Me: No. Eat your food. Then cookie.
Him: COOKIE COOKIE COOKIE *CRY*
Me: Please don't cry!! Here's a cookie!!

lmao! had similar issues with my daughter. She's a 5 year old anorexic. Refuses to eat almost anything, takes her about 2 hours (seriously) to finish a meal with meat in it. Even if there's not meat in it, she still doesn't want to eat it. I have to make desert and put it on the table for her to stare at during the meal so she forces the food down to get to the goodies. Except she's more spoiled.

daughter: whats for desert?
me: pudding in a tub.
Daughter: like the ones at the store?
me: yes
daughter: why can't we have creme brulee? are you having a 'lazy' day...?

Yep - it's a dying art in a booming industry - our 4th year at keystone we broke 1 million in sales.

Kid- "daddy, can I have a cookie"
Me- " If I didnt polish em off last night after you went to bed, because daddy can. But I left you plenty of veggies in the fridge:) ."

Ok seriously,...Kiddos know the rules on snacks..they never know when their getting them. I prefer random reinforcement myself. Rarely are they allowed to ask for em. Which seems to work, because rarely do they. And somehow my 4 yr old will ask for seconds at dinner, snub her nose at the ribs, but grab the whole bowl of veggies and polish every last bite off..frequently. Since when do kids prefer veggies over everything else?..this is the one that screamed bloody murder until she was allowed to hold the bowl of popcorn and double fist it through the whole movie as a baby.....
