My freind who I posted had a rash of problems. Now this man has gone through 2 divorces, has 4 kids 2 of the younger being boys. In my passings at his house quiet frequent, I always talk to them about various things, cars, tractors , and my current construction projects. Their dad has been a manager and feild boss for a construction co. as far as they can remember, as well as me. They both recently have taken a shine to the shop, working and talking about whats going on in their lives. Being a single man at age 35 and have been a tyrant all my life and stuck to work and knowing and working on machines/ assembley lines for automotive, working on our own equipment and working towards a dealership,i/e nobody ever gave me anything i started with $50 and a sigle axle dump truck. Owning what i have, I only have a few neices and nepheews that i love dearly, never show interest. I also spend with my const. co. 2 weeks a year teaching kids at a local high school, with a my best men about the road and parking lot, asphalt/municipal industry. What we learn in life should never be lost!Their father believes they should spend their time in the Army, or Navy, or in the US service. I disasgree ,he has kids that are afraid to go to their Father and tell them what they want, without saying they love the shop and the bond that we have made after work talking about things and learning. I have unknowingly become a big brother/dad and they enjoy and research information on the project we are currently working on. Their dad feels, I think that i am trying to take his place. I dont want to loose a good freind and the newly placed trust of his kids. He has no clue about trators or maechanical and feels inferior. I tried to talk to him and involve him but he gets upset.Looking back I now wish i didnt spend so much time away from life and had 2 good sons, or like my 2 wonderful neices ( that i love to share everyday events with). Am I really wanting what i didnt do in life? Am i doing something wrong ?i'm just lost guys please help me!
