[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3594766, member: 5412"] My dad worked so much I almost never saw him. Shift worker that rotated shifts weekly. He was either at work or asleep. 29 days working with two days a month off. Dad and mom were stern disciplinarians. Toe the line or else which kind of made me somewhat of a rebel. What one doesn’t realize until later in life is that the discipline was love. They had made mistakes in their lives or had known some other families that suffered issues and learned from them, passing their concerns onto my sister and I. My sons had the same discipline. They were taught to respect their elders, and those in society that were there to assist them even if they didn’t like it, but always ask questions and never accept anything you didn’t deserve. Many years have passed since they left the nest. Both are good citizens currently. One raising our grandchildren as they had been taught when they were young, the other single, but living life from a wheelchair independently by his choice. Father’s Day runs two directions. You get a thanks from your kids, and you thank your kids for their work raising their children. [/QUOTE]
