Never mind this goat hunting malarkey.<br /><br />I think the important thing is that you take an interest in your child and that they know you love them. If you can find an activity you both enjoy doing together then so much the better, but that can be whateverthehell you both enjoy. Even if it's one-armed origami, what matters is that you're giving time to be with the child/ren.Hannahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7448867658264499706.post-20821090574525115122010-04-10T20:11:59.563+01:002010-04-10T20:11:59.563+01:00Hunting feral goats.

Or even in Australia.

I&#...You and your mate are right, and so is Anna. <br /><br />I'm afraid, (but personally slightly relieved!) that your upbringing is a wee bit outmoded in most of the modern world! However, I'm equally sure that it could be very useful in some environments and that it provided good father/son bonding experiences.<br /><br />Anyone can learn survival skills if he/she wants or needs to. It's not really 'manly' although it's commonly seen as such! It's more 'personly' or 'humanly'! If I was in that situation I'd have taken my kids to do it regardless of their sex.<br /><br />Teaching your kids about emotional and psychological support by providing it, is far more important than teaching your kids ANY specific set of physical skills! With the right emotional and psychological support they'll be able to do anything they choose! <br /><br />After all we are the thinking/learning ape!julesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7448867658264499706.post-24363215508672182092010-04-09T14:10:50.357+01:002010-04-09T14:10:50.357+01:00I love my dad with all my heart.

He's the wisest, smartest, most knowledgeable man I've ever met and I would consider myself lucky to turn out like him.<br /><br />Can he wrestle a bear? No. We always leave that to mum. Is he less of a man for it? Fuck you, no! How dare I ask me that.<br /><br />Some men have their self-worth tied up in their physical selves, but as you know, that can go at any moment. Character is much longer-lasting, and much more valuable in this world than the ability to win a bar fight.<br /><br />Besides which, the only true test of Dadness is this: how bad are your puns?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16911606744887152262noreply@blogger.com
