Perfectly said. As a kid I never appreciated the things my dad made me do. But as an adult I really appreciate it.

I also think it helped me appreciate the games at home more. Once I graduated high school and spent the entire summer at home inside I got really fucking bored of my games really fast.

Yeah man like, in short kids are kinda dumb and short-sighted. I also remember the urge to eat candy and drink pop till I destroyed my stomach, which is obviously a terrible idea haha

The memories are worth way more than another day fucking off gaming.
