JD I can relate on a couple levels, not all but some. I don't have a great relationship with my dad, never have. My Ma couldn't take his drinking and left him when I was a few years old. My grandparents helped her raise me and my brother, and we learned a lot of values from them. They farmed until they died in the early 2000s. My dad is around, but still drinks like a fish. He will try to take credit for this or that, but I soon shut that down. He never did anything mentionable for anyone in our family. Going on, my wife and I are expecting our 4th and FINAL child. I try and make sure I help her with as much a I can, I do what needs done and then some. We both work full time jobs she is a Dietary manager at the hospital and I run the semi for the local JD dealership, as well as helping a neighbor part time on the farm. There are weeks I don't see the wife and kids much, it bothers me but I would have to take a big pay cut if I looked for a different job. And we cant afford that. But when this baby comes in Sept, I plan on taking a couple weeks off to help the wife with everything. There are times when I get to the end of my rope with the kids, the wife, the job, and life in general. But I guess that's where I differ from my dad, I just suck up and get thru it. He couldn't. I don't want my kids to go thru what my and my brother did. There are too many broken families these days, I don't want that for my family. My wife had the same childhood as I did, and she used to get scared when we had the smallest argument that I was going to leave. Why? Because her dad left her mom. Stuff like that affects people for their entire life. Im done ranting now, I enjoy your posts JD. . .they hit home and make a guy think.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
