Just introducing myself, fellow Dad of 4 kids.  I have a 3, 9, and 12 year
old Boy, and recently discovered via 23andme that I have a 26 year old
Daughter .. yes, I'm 48.  So .. love the Dad topic and hope to learn from the
pro's while also just sharing cool experiences.

Lots of great moments this past summer:  My 12 year old started BMX'ing --
absolutely NOT influenced by a nostalgic BBS dad (coughing).  My 7 year old
off training wheels.  My 2 almost 3 year old officially out of diapers. 
Great moments!  This year I have them on a cool ap called Busy Kid.  I can
assign them daily chores with a cents value per chore. I then can assign how
much they must save, can spend, and if how much to donate.  They can even
invest in fractional stocks.  Payday is every Friday, and they have Visa Pay
Cards they can spend online.  It's a pretty cool thing and all purchases are
monitored so as they get older I can shut the shit down if porn is purchased,
then take their PC's and watch them.  Other then that I'm not sure of the
purpose of this group but glad that theres a place to talk about fatherhood
-- it's the best part of me -- my kids.
