You make that Tristan work hard - but make it fun and work with him - take time to laugh - guarantee you will have a "hand for life".
I make the girls do all sorts of man things around here. Calving, haying, cutting, doctoring and such. They do ALL of the fencing - apparently I am not good enough to meet their standards. Who am I to argue? 8)
When I am gone they run the show and I never worry. (Much).
But judging from the number of fella's that hover around here - they must clean up nice. Their friends come over to give a hand once in a while.
Date my daughter you hafta "prove up".

Oldest daughter gave last one a black eye for - her words - "taking liberties". Haven't seen him in a couple of months - suspect he will not be back. I just keep my mouth shut at times like that.
Had oldest daughter's girlfriend tell me she wished I was her Dad - dang near broke my heart.
They tell me I am a loud S.O.B. - you can hear me yelling from almost anywhere on the place - comes from being half deaf. Initially the newbies are a trifle nervous around me - but they soon learn I am a lot softer than I sound. I always have time to play - life is too short.
Even help with the homework once in a while - keeps me sharp and it is fun to play with the teachers mind by shaping the girls to not be afraid to challenge convention.
Wife says I am way too soft a touch for money and wheels as well - seems I always have at least one vehicle in town at the movies or shopping. Funny thing is I have not been in a theatre in about 15 years.
I dread the day the last one leaves.
He-Brews - good one. Danged if I will tell Wife that one.
Darned good thing that fella' never wears his boots to bed - one of those come flying back it might hurt.
Gotta run - stay well.
