I hope my kids are like me and don't do it. Height of rudeness trying to dictate what kids do in time that should be reserved for their family and their own.

I’m not gonna really respond too seriously bcuz that sounds personal…nothing wrong with a teacher talking with students who need the reinforcement at home to do homework especially when it ties in to the next class’ lesson…considering that to be “rude” and “dictating” is over the top especially when that didn’t fit into my style of teaching at all

im 28 now. My biggest fear is being in the same spot or worse financially when I’m 40. I don’t want to have to worry about money when I’m that old.

It’s the opposite for me. I don’t want an “ain’t shyt” family, like a lot of dudes especially cacs have. Wife not putting out no more and the kids ain’t shyt. They don’t respect you or appreciate you. I can’t live like that, a lot of middle aged men are miserable at home so they compensate by doing 60hr work weeks just to stay away from the crib a lil longer :francis:

i can (or have been able to in the past) relate to everything you just said. I want a wife and kids but it can’t be forced and certain things have to be set in place before I initiate that.

Only major one socially is that an increasing % of women are going to be attracted to me for a lifestyle or status rather than who I am.

When youre 40+ these 30 and under chicks like being around you because you represent stability but they'd rather be messing a guy from their generation. I try to keep my body up but as I get into my 40s and get to my 50s I feel like it's also going to start to turn into a tricking type situation.

I've been married and divorced. I want something stable and consistent as I get older.
I don't want to be that single 50 year old guy with women dropped all on him on his boat knowing those women don't give a single fuk about me beyond my lifestyle.

Other than that I'm looking forward to it.

i can dig it bro. i see old heads in the bar and lounges just like that. And I would never wanna be like them at that age… nikka got grandkids but still tryna slide up in chicks young enough to be his lil sister or daughter.

:no:

I’m 43 and it’s the greatest.

Feel like I came out the fire and now I’m highly refined brass.

I handled my business and took care of myself in my 20s and 30s and have always looked at life as a never ending school and that helped a lot.

pretty motivational. Never stop learning and growing… I approve

Why did you get divorced?
