Refer too post above yours.

BB

BB, you are a better man than I. It is accepted from my end that you wish to show respect for their beliefs and feelings on such matters. It's a pity they can't show you the same courtesy in your own home.

I've got to admit that I had plenty of laughs reading through this thread - and it made me think if when I used to help my dad brew.

Long before kegs were widespread and nearly every home brewer bottled - I used to be the "sugar boy", putting 1 teaspoon of sugar in each bottle before he filled it and capped it. I was probably older than 2 or 3, but I still remember helping him (I'm 30 now).

I've got a little fella (19 months) and I hope I can find him an "important" job to do on brew days to make him feel like part of the process.

BB, I think the fact that you have that much respect for your parents is admirable. Not enough of that these days. I particularly like the fact that you'd rather have a good relationship than be right. I think I learnt that particular lesson from my 16 year old's Mum, who lost an argument with me 2 weeks after he was born and promptly left me and moved town the following day........(but MAN did I feel RIGHT...... :huh: ) and I spent 15 years being 'right' before I got the opportunity to get to know my son properly.
Sometimes being right isn't the most important thing. It took me another marriage and child to learn that. These days, re-married with a 3 year old, if it starts to look like I'm winning the argument I get suspicious, think twice, shut up and go pour myself a beer. It's safer

I wonder if Ducati Boy ever thought his topic would ever get this far off track? Its all good stuff though.

Hey ya Domonsura I have been married only two years and run off these ruls hope they help.

Yes means no,
No means yes,
Maybe means no,
We need means I want,
I am sorry means you will be sorry,
We need to talk means youre in trouble,
Sure go ahead means you better not,
Do what you want means you will pay for this latter
I am not upset means of course Im upset you moron
Your very attentive to night means is sex all you think about.
And that he most effective way to remember your wedding anniversary is to forget it once.

I had a nasty moment when the 2year old daughter looked into the top of the open fermentor I was cleaning and lost her balance.

Due to the height of the fermentor side she was stuck and could not get out. She was basically doing a handstand and screaming her head off.

The top of here head was just out of the solution and she was had only seconds left to be able to hold herself up.
It was so close...

SHE dosen't know.... I was shitting myself.... so quick, so close....

Wo. Thats some heavy sh1t. But, as I see it, respect for your parents beliefs (whether right or wrong) is what its all about.
It's like smoking, porn, drugs - whatever your vice - whatever your folks dont like - dont create the situation where things get tense. Just let them be. No need to be right all the time. They'll be gone soon enough. From your house & this world, so why be stubborn to prove you're right?
I'm in your corner BB.

I had a moment last brew day with my 20month old daughter. I just finished sparging when she sat in front of the boiler and turned the tap on herself.
Luckily i saw it happen and she was alright.

SWAMBO was reall happy!!NOT.

And that he most effective way to remember your wedding anniversary is to forget it once.

I make a rule with my wife that if I forget a wedding anniversary, I'm not in trouble because she must have forgotten too because it is our anniversary, not just hers. We don't surprise each other.

After 21 years I have not had a problem.

I am not one to freely offer my opinion as my post count will atest, but people...... keep all the dangerous goodies out of reach when the animals are on the loose and include them in everything they show an interest in. The time will soon come when they dont have any interest in anything let alone what you find interesting, and all you will see of them is the vapor cloud as they clear out of the house when ever you appear.. Let them help in any way that is safe for them and your equipment and enjoy their compnay. I have a best mate that turns 3 in a week. He will never be that inquisitive little boy again. I dont care how much time (or equipment) he costs me. Spending a day working side by side is more satisfying than the best beer i ever brewed.

I have been on here long enough to know that is a silly question to ask...You should have asked..

True..very true....but he still has cost me $32..... ...a small price to pay....

 

[Mitternacht Brauer]

Hi guys just to lighten the mood in this thread , Here's a pic of my daughter helping me to measure the volume of a brew kettle the inlaw gave me .

 

[LethalCorpse]

Won't that make measuring grain and liqor difficult when she gets bigger? :lol:

 

[glennheinzel]

My little fella just turned two, which of course means that I'm on topic.

My boy loves playing with airlocks. He gets a good hold, wiggles it side to side, pulls it out and then proceeds to run around with his little trophy. Subsequently airlocks are filled with preboiled water only.

Another time he wanted to feel the grain that I was measuring. Sure - why not.. I thought. He sticks his hand in and then starts clenching and unclenching his fist in rapid succession. This of course sends grain all over the bench and floor. Doh! Why you little... Oh well. It was probably only 50c worth of grain.

When my fermenter was unused for a while, my boy filled the airlock with unused kitty litter! When I went to wash it i went 'WTF!' Then I tried to wash it out with water (smart move) and watched the kitty litter expand inside the airlock. Breathe..... calm blue ocean...... A little bit of bleach and a little bit of time and it was all good. cheeky bugger.
