Hubs and I waited so long to have kids, I'm going to be 70 before I get grandkids! 

Well, it better be that long!  No way my boys have any business playing daddy for a long while!

How old are your kids

17 and 14. But both boys, so they are a couple of years younger than that to me.

this is no joke.

I love kids, love being a Papa, and now get to enjoy being a Pappadaddy. no way I could of had just one.

I would gladly suffer, being on my own, or would even suffer thru labor pains for my wife to have kids. All of my mistakes growing up, and even the ones I make now, can't erase the joy I have garnered from my kids. I just hope when I die, that at least one good thing can be said about me, and that is "He was a great dad."

you see our time here on earth, should be a struggle, and a suffering. I just hope that I've taught my young'uns, that in the suffering and struggle, you can find some joy and happiness, in your babies, and you pass that wisdom on, and then they pass it on.

Traditions, and owning land for generations in one family, family heirlooms that came over on the mayflower, that is great stuff, but just please let it be said of me, that I was a great dad. That I was mean to them, but fair, that I was tough on them, but I loved them.

and never once, thru all of my toughness, did they ever question my love for them.

Let my babies carry that tradition on.

Merry Christmas folks.

Bert, so many people go through life without seeing the bigger picture. Your kids will benefit from that for sure!

Yeah... I'm not sure how that happens. I feel to young for teenagers.

It is funny when others think my boys are my brothers.. No one ever asks if they are my sons.

You batten down the hatches at your place, @granny hatchet
- looks like we're going to have a bit of weather today/tonight! 
You know, I've been lamenting the fact that the weather is making it hard to feel like Christmas - and missing winter in the mountains - but then this morning I saw on my newsfeed a release from the emergency management where I grew up stating that power is currently out in a large part of the county due to snow/ice, expected to be out for up to two days.........maybe 70 and rainy isn't so bad.

Oh that's what I like. All the snow and power outages for a few days. I can't stand swatting mosquitoes at Christmas.

this is no joke.
