Splitting with the boy

I brought two dump truck loads of wood home and my tw6 to finish up wood for my son who has a firewood business in front of our house. He put a long day in but we got this all done and even though he was beat, I’m very proud of him working on this all day as a 10yo.

 

Raising him right. Good for you BOTH!!!

 

Very nice.
So nice to see one of today's kids not afraid to get their hands dirty and put in an actual days work , so many of today's youth would rather sit and play video games or be on their phones.
Both yourself and your son should be proud.

 

Nice work guys. Cant believe how big Robbie has got in the 2 1/2 years ive been a member here. Great to see him still going strong. He should be able to retire when he hits 20???

 

I think your kid is going to be alright in his years ahead! Hard workers are rare, let alone at 10.

 

Good job and great to see!
Embrace it now because before you know it, working with dad will give way to a "real job", cars and girls!

 

Looks like there will be plenty of wood for sale. Good job on both of you.

 

Good job on his part. That a lot of wood. Could have been intimidating to a 10 yr old.

 

Haha! And yeah he’s almost 5’ tall already.

 

I’m already losing him to sports and friends. Not looking forward to the other distractions for a teenage boy!

 

Thanks. He knew he was in for a long day and I knew he wanted to quit but he kept on going. In a 10 year olds wisdom, he said “dad I didnt want to work all day but now I can use other days to play with my friends.”

 

I forgot about the sports part

 

good on him thats a dam good days work, not many like him about. well done

 

You should be proud of him. You're bringing him up right.

 

Tell him great work & FHC is proud of him jrider ! That's a good amount of work for a 10 y/o. My grandson is 8 & he'll work 5-6 hrs. splitting & bagging campfire wood. They get distracted for a while as teens, but the lessons they learn working stick with em, ya just gotta be patient.

 

jrider it is so nice seeing father and son working together and learning life skills. Hope his firewood business does well this year.

 

Hear hear on fathers and sons having man-time together. Now mine is out, I'm so glad I soaked up every minute. I'm glad my kiddo is turning out better than I at his age. I am joyful that our relationship is solid and awesome because of our many hours together. What he learned at home, he is taking with him and turning to be profitable.

Carry on!!

So glad you are good teacher of children, many need that
