1 kid = 1 kid, 2 kids = 10 kids you can’t compare 1 to 2 they are not the same. and I feel the same as you, I hate being away from my kids unless it’s to go race. I would bring them to watch me race but I need someone to watch them. ---

Serious Question… Is having a child sort of like having a dog? I dont mean this disrespectfully, Its just I’m an only child, with a single parent, so I spend ALOT of time with my dog. I found her frozen on a hunting trip and shes been by my side for the past 3 years, when my dad died she was always by my side, and I always find myself worried that I leave her alone too much, or if shes mad at me, or if she enjoys her life at home… and its only a dog… Is having a kid like that,constantly worrying about them and there well being and if they are happy and all that stuff, just 10000000000x more strong? Sorry to get all soppy :grouphug: ---

Single parents get my uptmost respect. I see on a daily basis what my mom had to do to make sure that I grew up right, to make sure I had clothes on my back and was as safe as possible. I didn’t really have the opportunity to “know” my dad until I was 14, and he died 4 years later, so I never really had a father figure, and especially as a son that is something is very tough to deal with. It blows my mind to see people bring children into this world and then just discard them like they are trash and never think twice about it. Real Men that step up to their responsibilities as fathers \> \* Kids need to get :slap: once in a while to keep them in line though, I know that… Just like a dog 🤣 ---
