How to score daddy points.....
How to score daddy points.....*
Drive up in front of your 11 year old's school in a Vette to pick her up in front of all her friend that are gathered together for a birthday party and an overnighter. At the same time have a wad of cash for her to spend at the mall.
*Daddy point are not good with any other offer or promotion. The are for the sole use of daddy's and may not be transferred. They expire the next time you say no and roll your eyes at something she wants.

On my daughters 16th birthday, she came outside of the school after basketball practice with her teammates and friends to her suprise setting in front of the school was a brand new Custom painted 1/2 ton Stepside 4X4 Chevy truck. 350 votec, automatic, power everything, hardtop taunae cover, stereo etc. Dad was the greatest amongst her friends and pissed off a few parents!
She earned the truck with a 4.0 grade point average through the 10th grade and followed it up with a 4.0 on through graduation, valedictorian of her class, and a 4.0 through college. The truck was a hell of an investment and it paid untold dividends. The best money I have ever spent. Did the same with my younger daughter only with a Grand Cherokee. She did the same and is at the top of her class in Vet school. Daddy points can be fun and pay off in the end!

I think you would agree Ted that it is fun and has a lot to do with why we work.
Freek..... They both own and ride bikes too. My oldest rides a 650 Hawk and the youngest rides a VTR 1000 Superhawk.

It's funny!! Everything that you read about raising your kids nowadays tells you not to bribe or buy their respect to you or themselves. Then comes the real world!! My 11 yr old son hated spelling, hated reading. Bought him a KX85 on one agreement, enough said!!

It's kind of funny. As an adult we set goals, work hard and reward ourselves. If you establish obtainable goals for yourself and kids. Hold each other accountable, don't cave in or lower the standards there is nothing wrong with rewarding and or motivating your kids. Lets face it that is exactly what happens at our jobs. Whether you own the company or work for it you are motovated by the reward for doing a good job. And when people quit or get pissed off at their job or boss for not following through well guess what that's what the kids feel when they get hosed.
My kids are old enough now that they have thanked me for being consistant and not letting them run with the crowd and not letting them go to the beer parties etc. My motto has always been you kids didn't come with an instruction manual or a shop manual. So I will do the best I can and error on the safe side. I'm proud to say that it seems to have worked!

I probably should have done a little more of the kids holding ME accountable. ("Having more fast food, Dad?" ; "Breaking traffic laws again, Dad?") I'll buy my kid a Porshe if it guarantees his safe return from Iraq.
