1) Personally, I could have fatherd a child, but prior to my late 30's I could have never been a Dad. It was all about ME, drugs and pussy. ( I used to be a good looking MF'er in my 30's now, I have the pics on my desk, I'll post them sometime. I was a goodlooking single guy with plenty of money, the wimmins weren't a problem. LOL)
2) yes, I already do. I tell him that there are 3 things that wil keep him from playing baseball in college. ( that's his 10 year old focus, baseball in college and posibly MLB)
(a.) abusing alcohol- he knows that I'm "allergic" to alcohol and it caused me many problems
(b.) illegal drugs of any kind, period
(c.) getting a girl pregnant before he finishes HS, as he gets older, I'll adjust the logic, that's all a 10 year old can absorb IMO...
