In Response To: The price fathers pay ()
When ever I get frustrated with my children, I think of how I was at their age.
He was alone and I had given him permission to take the boat out. I was a little optimistic about doing that,...which my wife reminds me of often. He wasn't ready so who's fault is it?
I blamed it on him at the time. In hindsight, I think it was a shared error.
