Have a safe trip home!
Am fuming at grandson...sent him out to get eggs, and he dropped the basket and broke nearly 3 dozen. I think he had his face in his phone and wasn't paying attention.

Did you beat him? Did you give him a talking to? Did you deprive him of something? What is the right way to teach children? I never hit my son, unless he didn't block, while learning martial arts. He got eggs, he ate eggs. I can't remember him ever dropping and breaking eggs. Without telling the chickens he was sorry.

 

[Amish Heart]

No, didn't beat him. He's 15. He was annoyed already because he had a few hours of dirt moving to do today. I told him off, he tried to just give me the basket of broken eggs. I made him go through them, salvaged a few non broken ones, clean the basket, wash the eggs. Said sorry a bunch of times. He is the klutz grandchild, and has to be pushed to get any work out of him. He is taking a job doing field work with some Amish teens this summer for a seed company near us. We are pushing him because I wonder if he can handle a days work like that. But he wants to work because he wants the money because he wants a car. And we raise the three grandkids, but we don't buy cars for them. Just food, clothing, housing.

Teaching a work ethic is one of the best things you can do for a child,

how did you come up with that handle

 

[Arcticdude]

Got 10 miles from my daughter's house and got flat tire. Dropped the trailer off and picked up 2 tires. Changed them both out. Storm warnings out for high winds, up to 70 mph. Possible snow and rain. Still about 175 miles from home. Stopping for dinner now.
And only 1 sheep wearing the face diaper.

how did you come up with that handle

My son and I love super hero movies

 

[Amish Heart]

So which superhero are you?

 

[Arcticdude]

Just got home. It was 51 degs, raining with high winds when we pulled up to the house. Within 20 minutes the temp dropped to 31 degs and the rain turned to snow. Temp is still dropping and the wind sounds to be blowing even harder. Will have to wait until morning to see if there's any damage.

we both love Superman and Batman

 

[Arcticdude]

After last night's storm the sun was out this morning (20 degs) and the wind quit blowing. But now the wind is back and its snowing hard. Yep, spring is here. It just looks like winter.

I never understood Batman. He has no superpowers and he lives in a cave.

 

[GaRp58]

Batman just had the coolest gadgets and the neatest car in town....

 

[Dracos]

Power was out from before I got up until 1400. 2 inches of new snow. Greenhouse 35 degrees. Cooked breakfast on the wood stove. Warm and cozy in the house. Started reading April National Geographic, it told me how bad wood stoves are.

I quit reading that commie/socilist rag years ago.

And he always hangs out with a young boy in tights....

 

[Amish Heart]

Hey, at least your greenhouse is above freezing. We our having incredible wind right now, but it's in the 70's. Laundry on the line is all over the place, but drying fast
