JD Farmer,
yup, I can remember not having to be asked twice by my dad to cut the grass or paint the garage or whatever. I was happy to help and work with him whenever he started a project. I used to sit on the curb waiting for him to come home from work. He worked lots of overtime, weekends and any time I got to spend with him I enjoyed immensely. I think the feeling was mutual.
