If you follow me, you know I spend a lot of time with my son. We are quite strange at times and have a ton of fun together. I stopped working back in 2000 and started a new company (I've had a company of some sort since I was 14 years old).
When my son was born 10 years ago I put my company on autopilot and spend 40-80 hours/year keeping it running. It's a managed service that runs very well and most everything has been automated. This allows me to spend a lot of time with my son or whatever else I feel like doing. This also enabled me to put a lot of time into Steem on a daily basis.
If my son is home and not doing homework or with friends, we are playing something together or watching a movie. We play a lot of Minecraft, Overwatch, Planetary Annihilation, Battlefront II, and now he is hooked on Fortnite. We play as a full squad when his two friends are available as well.
Anyway, that's a bit away from my point. A while ago I got Minecraft Story Mode for my son, and the main character's pet was a pig named Reuben. The pig ended up being very popular with most players of the game, my son included. For Christmas in 2016, I got him a stuffed animal version of the pig, and it has been his favorite Christmas present to date.

Since then, he has become very attached to pigs in general. Pigs are now his favorite animal and I plan on taking him to the pig island at some point so he can swim with the pigs.
He got another smaller pig this year for Christmas that he named Pigley (it was on the tags not sure he named it as much as went with it). We recently were joking around how the pigs are his son and by extension my grandsons. He will frequently leave one of them with me when he goes to school or has a sleepover, to keep me company and to watch over. He is currently out of town for a few days so for fun I am going to send him some pictures of Pigley every day as a joke.
Starting off simple, but plan on doing some really funny ones.
Yeah, we are a bit weird and silly. If it is my worse problem though, I feel I'm doing alright.
UPDATE: I guess I should spell Grandpa right :P

STOPThose are the best moments. I would play Everquest among other things with my son. Great memories.
Grandkids are the best. LOL, I love sitting and playing the Lego games with my grandsons. Jurrasic Park is the favorite.
It's all good Grandpa. I bought some chalk today and my grandson wrote on the sidewalk Granme, he was trying to spell granny.
Excellent @themarkymark, that you have found the balance between work and family sharing, it is important that children in their first stage have the company of their parents, because of ahy learn their training when he enters adolescence, I like your pet the piglet, my son had one that was a store called pigui.
Is your son enjoying bacons at all tho?
He loves bacon but has refused to eat it for well over a year, he actually makes grunting noises when we eat it.
Of course he did, it feels totally strange to eat the species of our pet. Just like how we don't eat cat and dog meat.
very interesting your post, I hope to continue seeing more post asi, and of course the paternal bond must be paramount, and it is good to know that you have a good relationship with your son
It's all good Grandpa.. :)
