and when the popo catch you, you can try to worm your way out of social services taking away your kids for chile endangerment!!!!!

jks!

 

My 20 month old now cries when she has to get into our station wagon, because she'd rather ride in Mommy's car. And everytime we're outside working in the garden, she wants me to open the doors so she can crawl around in it and play.

 

Makes you a VERY good Dad. The sooner one can get their kids in a Kar and out driving - AND practicing spins and what-not...the sooner one can get their kids USED TO how a kar FEELS, the safer drivers the kids will be

 

I had an uncle who used to take me and my siblings out in his car and do full donuts in gravel parking lots. He took me to an autocross event where he dropped a motorcycle on himself from 10 feet in the air. It hasn't turned me into a bad driver. People who are afraid of cars and driving tend to be bad drivers.

 

I think that making your kids laugh is GOOD! Otherwise roller-coasters are bad.

I let my 8 year old son sit in the passenger seat of a friends all-out modified ice-racer (properly sized helmet, 5 point harness, trusted driver) for a half-hour of practice track time on a frozen lake in mid-winter in Alaska. The kid absolutely LOVED it. Took three weeks for the smile to dissipate.

Putting your kids in a controlled-scary-fun situation (NOT a dangerous situation), when handled correctly, really does build character. He grew up to be an honorable man with almost no fears. (Almost no mechanical abilities, but I think he got that from his mom. ).

Anyway... Keep those kids smiling, take them to the go-kart track when you can, hit up a roller coaster occasionally, and by all means, when they are old enough to drive, get them autocrossing.

 

You sound like a pretty cool dad, in no ways a bad one

 

it's a good way to teacher ur kids rotary fun while they are still young.

I have a 4 and 10 year old boy who LOVE sitting in their buckets "racing" seats, and of course I oblige them with some fun stuff. My oldest actually has an old Momo steering wheel of mine that he uses to "steer" the car with me.

Nothing better in this world than hearing your kids giggle uncontrollably.
