My parents divorced when I was in the second grade so I didn't know a lot of my father but mom remarried and my stepdad came from a farm. We lived on acreages until I graduated from High School and he taught me (us ) so much. I worked next to him constantly and learned what hard work was, animal care, (dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, hogs, and cattle), horticulture (gardening and crop farming) where does it end. I was in 4H and FFA. Teach your kids all you know. Have them by your side to learn. Both of you will have no regrets !
