I recently saw this, liked it and decided to repost it.

"My father brought me up with a lot of discipline, I must do the same"
When I was 45 Yrs Old:

When I was 50 Yrs Old:
"It's rather difficult to control my kids, how much did my father suffer for the sake of upbringing and protecting us"
When I was 55 Yrs Old:
