He doesn't know or have any idea what spark plug is called for in the original posters question but he would have completely good enough sense to look it up.

These kids that appear like John's picture should have had their little head pinched off at birth OR their parents should have been sterilized before conception to pervent this kind of abortion from being a live birth.
Your last sentence is a good one and the second half I call "poor breeding"!

Raising children has to be one of the most difficult jobs we can do as adults and there is no "handbook" to follow. With my background, I even consulted a few shrinks, even dated one for several years but she was pretty cute, independent and a lot of fun! But still, wish I had done some things differently.

I briefly worked with a guy with alot of piercings. Not anything like John's picture, but like maybe 16 on his head. We nicknamed him tacklebox. Good kid with poor judgement. Walked around with a tube of neosporin all the time.

I dunno'. I raised my kids basically the same way I was raised, only maybe a little more stricter.

I never considered raising kids difficulut, just a challenge!

My son told me when he was about 12-13, that he had a phone number to call for parents like me. I told him him, "go ahead" and after you hang up, just pack your knapsack and hit the road!

We're still pretty tight to this day and he's about twenty years older now.!
