Maybe I'm OK at this Parenting Stuff


Recommended Posts

And the strange thing is that sometimes these interactions have a life long memory attached to them. I remember as a 10 year kid being offered a boat ride with my uncle. It started raining and I tried helping him click the snaps to put the cabin cover on. He yelled at me for doing it and to this day, I remember it.

Sometimes it is tough to be a nice parent especially when a paint scratch or bent flap is involved.

If she'll ever quit pushing buttons, she might make the upgrade to copilot one of these days. As it is now, she's worse than a flight instructor.

I thought you guys might enjoy this. To me, this ranked right up there with taking her first steps.

When my son was about 18 months I took him up flying. I put his car seat in the passenger seat, strapped him in and then climbed over him to get in my seat (try that sometime).

When I was about 200 feet high on departure, he put both feet on the yoke and pushed as hard as he could!

They don't teach you how to deal with that in flying school!

I beleve the words were "don't ever do that again! You almost killed both of us!". He never did it again.

A year and a half and understanding his mortality.  Ahead of the curve.  My son was...Oh, Nevermind...at that age.

That would have gotten the full Don from me...Rickels that is.  Was his seat all the way back?  Yetti legs?

No, it wasn't. That became a preflight item after that. Probably should have put him I the back, but I wanted him to see all the gauges and watch me work it all, thought it would inspire him to want to fly. Sadly it didn't work, he has no interest in flying. He is 22 now.
