I was thinking cooler than 90 degrees. I can deal with the 80’s
My window regulator was broken at the same time as my blower motor not working. Suuuucckkeed. Being the lazy alcoholic I lived with it for like 6 months. Fixed both for about a 100 and like 70 minutes.
When I YouTubed the window motor… I was like jiminy crickets… that took him 10 minutes. Why have I been subjugating myself to such torment lol. I ordered a regulator for a civic at first, got the door apart and put it in and was like dafuq, this thing is way too short. Got the right 1 and it literally took 15 minutes haha.
I have a deep love of Honda’s now.

Yeah, my thermostat went out a few months ago and I was pretty pleased with myself on how I was able to fix it up.

Shameless brag. Just mowed the lawn, while sick, with a 1 month old strapped to my chest. #iamdad

I am so impressed by you! Seriously, you have so much on your plate & seem to handle it all with a calm, patient & wise manner (well maybe with the exception of the tv incident 
)
You are the head of a huge & beautiful family, building a practice & sharing your testimony daily…And you’re doing it very well, in my humble opinion

Very gracious of you! It’s a minute by minute focus. I just hope I can raise them to be good people and not serial killers. I think its every parent’s worst fear that their children won’t repeat their same mistakes. I especially fear they will get caught in the addiction I found myself in. Bound and determined to educate and prepare them for the day they see porn for the first time. Never get sucked in like I did.

Well I hear parents ask occasionally what age their child should be to have their 1st cell phone (I know you’re kiddios are way too young at the moment ) but I usually say, when you think their old enough to see porn. Shocking but true & sad reality of our world today. When that time comes, no one will be better equipped to foresee & navigate these waters then you, rest assured. You’ll be their greatest asset.
As far as possible addiction issues…some of it’s within our control, but certainly not the majority. I think it’s a combination of genetics, predisposition, environment & personality. I’m sure you’ve noticed already each child has unique tendencies, even though they’re raised in the same environment. They’re very different individuals from the get go. The best thing you can do is love their mother . That daily display will impact their lives immeasurably!
My husband & I met in AA. In my mind, this doubled our son’s chances of potentially having an addiction. The fear was stronger when he was younger & has dramatically lessened with each passing year. We’ve been open with him about our alcoholism, diligent about teaching him healthy coping skills, nurturing his self-confidence & showering him with love!
Happy to report (despite our pasts!?) he’s an amazing young man. Everything we prayed for, and nothing like we feared!
You, me & everyone else here in recovery are not dooming the next generation because of our pasts… we’re creating an extraordinary next generation because of our pasts

That’s awesome to hear. They still make dumb phones though. I dont think my boys need all the technology right away. Eventually yes. We will set up filters and blocks though.
You have good advice. From a parent who’s been through it. Thanks!
