RE: Sports bike or not + two never-before-seen photos! [Viewer discretion advised] 😂
Seems like you raised some sensible kids. The old wear a helmet ethos has worked...Although I'm not sure about jumping out of planes unless they're on fire or you're James Bond! Not my idea of fun although it must be exhilarating. Not sure what a helmet would do if things went badly...😉
Common sense, ownership and responsibility need to be applied equally and in good measure in all things.
Got you on that helmet thing being of little help. Thanks for the compliment @galenkp with how we raised our kids. Not that putting the time in that is necessary, if you expect your children to grow up to be moral, and productive citizens, is a guarantee, it sure does give them a better chance. There are so many temptations out there these days, that were not around back in the day , staying on the right track will always be a challenge regardless of a parent's involvement @galenkp
I'm not a parent but often comment to my wife, who is also not a parent, on how hard it must be. We also make many observations of parents probably not being as proactive as they can. We try to reserve judgement as we aren't parents, but sometimes it's unavoidable.
On the flip-side we some some excellent parenting and know that there are some amazing role-model-parents out there.
