Dr. Lora (7:30)

When I lived in a different house, I had a room which was an office. But the actual radio stuff, the microphone was in a closet. That's the jokes that everybody always made about me. Okay. And you know the black egg crate looking things, they were all over the closet to muffle sound. Okay? My son, who's just about graduating high school, comes in during a commercial break. Now I'm working and I work during commercial breaks. I read stuff, I get stuff ready. And he said, I need to ask you something. I remember this as vividly as I remember my dad. And I turned and said, yeah, okay, what is it? What do you think about me joining the army? You know, the first thing that came into my head, they will force him to keep his room neat. Swear to God. First thing I didn't think of bullets flying, none of that. First thing was somebody will make him.

Disney Cruise Narrator (8:39)

Straighten up his room.

Dr. Lora (8:42)

I looked at him and I thought I have three minutes to do this. And I said, which branch? I was just curious. And he said, army. He goes, I'd like to do the high, low, jumping out. I mean he's a 17 year old male. I want to jump out of planes close to the ground and all of that. And I went, I think you think it's going to be a lot of fun, but I think it'll be hard work too. But if you'd like to do that, what the hell. Sure. He said, thanks mom, and walked out. Yeah, always, always. Now if I had been in the middle of a call, he would have stood there and waited for me to finish the call. Yeah, 17. So you're available anytime, day or night unless you're in a coma. Number three, you promise that you will never discipline when you're Angry, because that's. Usually that's punishment. I am going to kill you. Usually, that's punishment. You know, you calm yourself down and think about what a consequence should be, how you're going to handle the moment. It should not be done out of anger. And you have to promise your kid that. Number four. And I know a lot of parents have trouble with this one, you'll respect the differences. The kids are not you. They're unique. Their own personalities and preferences. You know, if you've had three, four kids, they're all different. They're all different and they're interested in different things, especially when they get older. I mean, you can teach them when certain differences, attitudes, behaviors are wrong, not moral, not ethical, etc. But basically, it's a parenting typero. But you got to choose what battles aren't worth fighting. And if there's something important to them and it's making sense, you have to not go bonkers and say no. You have to be a dentist. No. You have to keep playing football. No, you're not going into ballet. The guy might say that to his son. Nope. Preferences, unique personalities. The kid likes ballet. I thought he's going to be a muscle with toes. You ever see what the male ballet dancers can do? Fly through the air, take 20 minutes and then drop down. Okay. Number five. And I liked this. High up. This is one of my favorites. I will never stop loving your mother. That should be the second time. At least you've made that promise. Work hard at. Makes the wife happy, the husband happy, the children happy. Makes for a happy family. So take two years. Go into premarital counseling. Don't do something stupid and impulsive. It just saddens me so much. People call and they want to complain about something. Well, how long did you date? 2 months, 3 months? 4 months? Number six. I will never stop loving you. I can stop liking you. If you do evil, awful things. I could stop liking you. But I'm your dad and I'll always love you. That doesn't mean I won't kick you out of the house if you're turning into a snowflake. Number seven. And this wraps them all up. I will keep my promises to the best of my ability. That's the tough one, but it's one of the most important because it shows your kids that you're human. You will keep your promises to the best of your ability. You will acknowledge when you're wrong. You will be the dad they need and deserve. You will be the dad your kids need and deserve in other words, you will be a man of your word. It's probably the most succinct definition of a man. Honor. Yeah, honor. Most succinct definition of a man. Honor. Okay, my number 1-800-375-2872. If you like this podcast, be sure to rate it on Apple Podcasts or your favorite place to listen to my podcast.
