This guy is awesome, makes me realize that the struggles we go through in a year aren't compared to what he goes through in 1 day.

That video should be shown to every group of expectant parents. Having parents who helped him figure out ways to do things and accomplish things on his own rather than make excuses for why he "couldn't do things really helped. In my lifetime I have run into far too many parents who concentrate all too heavily on what their children can't do and making excuses for it rather than helping them figure out how to accomplish things themselves.

Thanks Rootbeer 6117 that is very inspiring.

You are welcome also, you are preaching to the choir about Parents it's some times unbelievable some of the stuff I have to deal with at school from parents, They aren't parents the are the kids friends. I have had a carpet call or two because mommy is very upset the mean teacher is making her little boy work hard and the administrator caves into it.

Man this guy is IMPRESSIVE. It is as you say the parents today want to be there kids friend instead of roll model or teacher. Personally I'm glad my dad paddled my rear and took time to show me how things worked. Thanks for the video I reposted it.
