>>10693509Damn, yes its a pretty sad state of affairs for most parent / kid relationships. These hands on building hobbies seem to be too much of a bother for most. I try to cover most hobbies with my son (model rockets, train layout in basement, rc racing & bashing). Sucks cause he talks to his friends about all the stuff we do and they're just flabbergasted and ask many questions and want to come over to see. Many have a spark, but no one willing to foster it with them.
