OT: Parenting Thread

Hello fine squires and lady wenches of RRS.

I wanted to check with parenting brethren here on what we should/shouldn’t be working on with my child at a particular age.

First off every child is special and learns at their own pace yada yada yada.

For reference my daughter just turned six and will be going into the first grade here in a few weeks. In the last year I taught her to ride a bike and her little electric scooter and now she wizzes all around the neighborhood on both. Right now I’m trying to teach her how to tie her own shoes, but that’s not going super well. Is six the right age? Am I being too ambitious? Not enough?

Like in Big Daddy - not only do I not want to have the smelly kid in class, but I want to make sure she isn’t behind either. I don’t care if she’s the first one to learn how to tie her shoes, but I also don’t want to send her to school with Velcro because we didn’t take 15 minutes a night for a week to practice something trivial either.

Is there certain things kid that we should be teaching her? Or do you find that when all the other kids around your kids age start doing something they’ll come and ask for how to do it?

Talking to my daughter is like talking to an alien sometimes - understanding her head movies and what she wants it’s tough to decipher. So was just curious if you had any thoughts on what she certain things should be done.

Also el chapos son was captured too and some early reports suggest he set El Mayo up (but that could be BS). The guy who’s tweet is below has some credibility in cartel news

HOOPS: Oak Hill Academy PG Christian Anderson Jr. talks Texas Tech decision, why he fell in love with Lubbock


Here's my conversation with the young guard and his dad on the decision...

How good can the offense be this year?

I think pretty damn good in fact unless Kittley ****s it up.

My confidence level in that numbskull is pretty low and I have the posts with @B. Golan to prove it. 🤣 Up to this point he may be the most over hyped coach ever (if that's even a thing for an assistant coach).

Anyways, I hope he's been hitting the books hard in the off season and understands clearly that the best player he has is Brooks and that he will feed him the ball constantly because that's the type of back Brooks is. He needs touches throughout the game.

The fact that ZK completely misidentified Brooks last season was unconscionable and is the major contributing fact as to why I still feel he's out of his element as a D1 assistant coach. (Along with that whole 50 burger nonsense.)

Be that as it may, he can redeem himself this season by utilizing Brooks to his fullest as well as all of the other resources that McGuire has provided him in the off season.

I'm not going to wish ZK luck because we are beyond luck. He needs to show us competence and capability.


(I know, I know, he had no quarterback last year because of injuries and stuff. But as some on her have pointed out, ZK may have had a role in that too.)

Edit: QB development seems to be lacking and has been another critique of ZK.

  • Other

    Votes: 1 1.0%

Jacob Rodriguez got 42% of the vote and won by 20+ points over Ben Roberts in the last poll. He avoids a run-off but didn't quite hit the 50+% marker for a tier break.

Running List:
Tier 1
1) Tahj Brooks - RB - Super Senior

Tier 2
2) Josh Kelly - WR - Super Senior
3) Jacob Rodriguez - LB - RS Junior


I'm adding a 2nd offensive lineman to the polling, so both Rogers and Sciury will be there. It will be interesting to see where all of those votes for Rodriguez go, I'd bet on Roberts but we have some offensive star power that might entice people as well.

If you vote OTHER, post who your vote is for so I can get the candidate list as good as possible.

KELLER, Texas — As they stood together near Keller ISD’s Central High School on Friday, a group of parents shared their anger and frustration.

“I’m livid,” said Laney Hawes, a parent whose child attends Central HS. “Our rights and our kids rights have been violated.”

Their anger stems from what the district confirmed happened last Friday, February 9.

Sandi Walker, a school board trustee brought an Evangelical-based film crew into the high school to conduct interviews with her. Multiple students and parents told WFAA children were filmed and interviewed by the production crew without their consent. Trustee Micah Young was also involved in the filming.

Evangelische Omroep (EO), a Netherlands-based Evangelical broadcast television network previously produced the documentary: ‘God, Jesus, Trump.’

Texas Tech Vet School

I am trying to help my housekeepers daughter get into post grad education. She is going to call me when she is ready to start applying but what is the best way to get her connected with the school? They are american citizens who came over from El Salvador and her brother is the first to graduate college from A&M and she has the opportunity to be the first to get a post graduate education. Great grades, great character and would like to help her out.
