You know, the usual things a dad tells his son. "Study hard in school and go to college so you can get a good job that you're happy with so that you don't have to struggle like I do to make ends meet." I thought he was full of it. I thought he was just a cheap, tight SOB. I was to smart for a bunch of math and college and that BS. And now I'm him and I'm telling my son the same thing and he thinks I'm full of it etc. etc. I feel really bad. My dad just wanted me to be successful and happy and I blew him off. All I had to do was listen and take his advice. But for some reason as a teenager, I had this idea that I was smarter than someone 31 years older than me. I can't understand why my kid thinks that I'm hassling him when I talk to him about his future. He's 14 years old and does'nt have a clue what he wants to do when he grows up. I guess what comes around goes around. I guess this has been going on since the beginning of time. I hope one day he does'nt have to say "I should have listened to my old man"
