LOL. We have dirtbikes and horses, and 4-wheelers. He's into skateboarding
and right now that is his passion. He has made himself a skatepark with
leftover OSB from the house and already has ramps and a rail. he's pretty
good at it and you know, i fully understand his desire to do his thing even
if it makes me cringe over the possible broken bones. And he loves to fish in
the summertime, so that's good. He has potential to become a prime
homesteader/farmer if he stays.

Both of my kids had to adjust to life on the dirt.  TJ liked
skateboarding and Kate was a rollerblader.  Even on the patchy piece of
asphalt we call a road, neither was really possible here.  So, if you
gotta play hardball and win over the kids, I'd say instead of hardball,
play paintball!(or ride dirtbikes, mountain bikes, horses, ATV's etc.)
The trick is getting the kids to see dirt as their friend...
