my 9 year-old is a sweetheart

[mrhtbd]

She is really growing up fast.
Do we have to work so much?
Why do job issues cloud my life so much as to block out the blessings?
Took my 9 year old to gymnastics tonight.
She's really gutsy but still has trouble doing forward and back rolls. I told her it was my fault because she has my back configuration, but, that's probably why she's such a natural at swimming. Hell she's good at every sport she tried: swimming, soccer, softball (took second at the tourney in the round-the-base sprint) gymnastics (best on the bar). She is also smart. Just got her report card yesterday and it only had 4 checks (satisfactory) on it, the rest of the marks (about 40) were advanced. She is currently reading the 4th Harry Potter novel, is at the top of her reading level, and the teacher wants to put her in the gifted program. She plays the viola and asked me tonight if she could join the chior in January. Really something else.
She is a cutie.
With all the crap going on in my life, I just want to stop the world and enjoy Christmas moments with my wife and kids.
Rambling...sober...sore from a workout...and tired.
AAAHHHHH, daddy's gonna sleep like a rock tonight.
No school tomorrow, yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I know what you mean. They grow up fast .
I have 4 granddaughters and 2 grandsons.

...and they have their own agenda early. It's after 3PM and my 9 year-old has been gone all day down the street.
Hope she shows up for dinner.
Well, can't complain, I got the bathroom painted.

You guys should be careful talking about your children on here. If that sick bastard decides he's pissed at you, he'll put them in his line of fire and try to defile their existence! He's playing up being your buddy Mrhtbd, but you just speak out against his ego and watch how sick he can get! Pedofiles have no code of ethics!!!!!!

Yeah, the recent posts have taken fatherhood to new levels of awareness for sure. What once was a joy to be is now a defensive position. Good things I taught my kids how to fight as well.

It was asked to have no further discussion on that and I will honor that request. With that said you bring up a valid point I've been debating with my wife about- Having my daughter to train for skills in fighting/defense. I didn't have the money as a kid so my learning started out fighting/sparring with the kids that did have that luxury. In everyone of them their respective art had a weakness I could always lock onto(sure this is kids but I've always found that to be the case.) Anyhpow she's like - "everyone of those kids always went around throwing kick and punches and I don't want her being like that." Lol yeah I know I used to beat those little shits on a regular basis Still the security that comes with knowing yourself- can't be beat. You can walk with confidence into any situation.

Well, my two girls fight like hell all the time. The 4 year old had the 9 year old pinned down and I had to pull her off. The nine year old is getting paybacks for slights she pulled in the past. I warned her it would happen but she ignored me. Now she suffers. I taught my nine year old to punch when she was three. When she was 5 she punched a boy in the nose because he wouldn't let go of her. I told her if I came to pick her up from school and saw that kid hanging on her again ther would be serious trouble. She said, "He always does it."
I replied, "Well, your body belongs to you and no-one has the right to touch it without your expressed and explicit permission, besides, I said no, so the next time he does it you tell him to let go, if he doesn't you get into your stance and punch him as hard as you can right in the nose. There's nothing like a little blood running down the back of somebodies through to make then think twice the nex time of crossing the line."

Hahahhaahaah I agree. What's fucked up is so many of these little kids have been exposed to all manor of evil and it has warped them. Half their parents have no morals and give no supervision. A nurse my wife works with said she caught her little 6 year old boy trying to molest a little 6 y/o girl. They came to find out the 12 y/o neighbor 2 houses down had been molesting him! And I know this is gonna sound prudish- but I swear huge amounts of porn and filthy movies have warped people's minds. Minds that already lack any form of desire for control or guilt. This titty dancer that lived with me about 14 years ago had 2 little girls. Like- 4 and 6 y/o. I was always into it with her , not only about her lack of parenting but her complete idiocy. One day I walk in and the littlest one is looking at a Hustler with her mom sitting right beside her!!! I snatched it away and asked' wtf is wrong with your mind letting her look at that shit!' Her response: "OMG she'll have tits and ass when she gets grown!" That would be one thing but that's just one aspect of a whole lot of nastiness in a Hustler. Just fucking stupidity!!! Btw both girls are inmates now in a women's correctional facility! The oldest for breaking into an old man's house and literally beating him with his cane then stealng his pain meds. The other one (mentioned above) for meth and b & e.

That's pathetic. I don't think my kids even know what sex it. Just the way I want it. We let them grow up and enjoy life as kids. We have them both in gymnastics, the little one also in dance, the older one swims on the team in the summer, played soccer the past 3 years, and softball two. I don't make many demands on them, except to brush their teeth and be nice to their mother and grandparents. Two out of three is pushing it on a good day.
