Quads really scare me. I mean REALLY scare me. I don't want the kids anywhere near them. That has been a big issue for Charlie and I, as h finds them to be very useful. He feels like he can teach the kids to ride safely and they won't become the statistic that so many others do. I don't want to take that chance.
So we have fought about this for some time. My father in law, tried to work on me for compromise. He thought I should meet in the middle if there was a side-by-side two seater with seat belts, roll bars and a limited speed. I thought I could live with the kids riding his mule, as long as they listened and wore their seat belts. But Charlie still ha a quad. Ugh.
So recently, he found this Joyner (as Wyatt calls it). It is a four seater, with harnesses and roll bars. So he, along with a good buddy of his, invested in it together. I said yes under the agreement that if he got his new toy, there would be no more talk of my babies on a quad- ever.
Remington didn't like riding in it, though. Nor did Hopper Spark. I went with Charlie and the kids for a ride the other night, we took previously made trails, and went looking at Christmas lights before we came home.
So the moral of the story here is, I am trying. But NO QUADS! And Charlie listened and got something more. Bet he wishes he could have had his new toy sooner, but maybe not.
I suppose we shall see where this goes, but maybe I am learning compromise in my old age. Maybe even better communication with the big tough guy I married but don't see a whole lot of with work, tdys, and kids and the farm to keep us running. Wish us luck, hope you all get everything you truly dream of!
