    The saddest day of parenting

Transcript

The saddest day of parenting is realizing how young your kids are when they stop wanting to listen to you. For me, that realization was when my wife and I were teaching our son to ski. We yes harnesses, hedgy wedgies, and a whole lot of gummy worse, but didn't get far other than just having fun. Then we put him in a mountain camp at Palisades Tahoe. After three sessions, he was doing this. Seriously. He went from harnesses to turning in three weeks. Best to show you that sometimes hiring experts is easier than convincing your kids to listen to mom and dad.
