No need to apologize, or edit for that matter. It’s great to see your daughter helping in the shop! Never bow to those ever in search ways to be offered, they feel reinforced by apologies. Carry on with your fine work!
Good grief! Don’t you worry about that, keep on being a Dad who is even prepared to ask their daughter for help, and keep on educating and entertaining us with your skill and humor. Thank you.
My daughter who is 15 and I found it humorous as we could relate to the events and how they unfolded. I thank you for your apology however it was not needed. May I apologize to you on the behalf of anyone who excoriated you. We here love your channel the content is informative but most importantly it's something that my daughter and I have bonded over even more. We have purchased our own plans to build a roundabout. Thank you so much for the inspiration and please keep the great content going!
Many years ago each of my four kids, three boys and one girl, would at times assist me in some project. I used to do the same thing you did with your daughter in episode 49 the trim piece would not cooperate! Looking back at those times I realize that I actually taught them some important things that would actually help them in their lives. 1. Rarely does any project go as planned. 2. It's okay to get frustrated it doesn't and even react to the frustration! It was alright to grunt a few expletives, such as "stupid hammer" give the kids a wink and smile while throwing the hammer to the ground, take a deep breath, pick up the hammer and then tell them something like "well, lets try that again and maybe I'll hit the nail straight on this time"! I think you are also teaching you children some very important life lessons as well! Keep up your great work, I really enjoy your channel and I am learning a lot from you!
Well said Mark, no need to apologise. I remember working with my dad many years ago in the garage steam bending trims on many boat projects. Some didn’t go well and watching the video reminded me of those times. It bought back so many fond memories of working with my dad and learning… Thank you…
I didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary. I am in the midst of building my own boat (first one) and have had many moments of instant frustration when time is of the essence. Very hard to make things look easy and perfect all the time when working in front of a camara. I know that your concern for an appropriate impression of your relationship with your family members is the motive for the apology, but please know that most of us don’t make those kind of judgments. Carry on with the great videos.
You are a good dad. I am formally trained in family dynamics. So I know what I'm talking about. Your kids are fortunate to have a dad who cares enough to impart standards and creativity to them. My son is 23 now, and a talented musician and all around good person. When he was growing up, people were constantly making comments about me expecting too much of him. In fact, we've always been close and now he thanks me for having high expectations of him. A parent can be both exacting and empathic.
Honestly people are always going to hate. I really don’t think you did anything any parent has a right to judge you harshly for. Honestly all I saw was a man getting frustrated and restraining any initial, possibly inappropriate verbal outbursts. Not sure if that’s what was going on but honestly man I thought you handled that situation just fine. Don’t sweat the small stuff, it’s complete sh^t that some people thought that you needed to be called out in any way for your reaction to an incredibly frustrating accident. I hope you continue to post your videos. I love when my kids show any interest in my boat so I thought it was awesome that your daughter helped you. I hope you are doing ok I know getting blindsided by that level of criticism can be jarring, I hope to see your next boat building video soon. Thanks for the great content! Keep up the great work!
You have nothing to apologize for. It was very obvious there is a lot of love between father and daughter. If someone can’t recognize the dynamic between a father and his child, they’ve never had a child in the house. I feel sorry for them.
Mark, your daughter is of any age that seeing her dad work and get stressed is excellent life skills. You were not rude or in anyway threatening. Life experience for kids is vital. As a dad however of a teenager, you learn to turn such events into opportunities. Next time you have a similar problem, ask her to lead and help. Show her the problem and ask her opinion. She will love it and your praise will lift her. Now enough dad talk, build the damn boat!!!
It crossed my mind that it could be a bit hard on a young person under those conditions ( you mentioned) I have a daughter and I know in the past I was overbearing at times and caught up in the moment. It’s not my place to assume that is what was going on with you and your daughter. We are who we are and hopefully we can improve as time goes on, kids understand this and know we’re (parents) not perfect. The main goal is to have a healthy relationship for our entire lives. Thanks for sharing your woodworking talents with us!
See I found your interaction with your daughter as endearing. Making up an on the spot Dad song of 'quick quick quick, do do do, quick quick quick' made me laugh too.
And here I thought this week's video had come out early... :) Put me in the "there was absolutely nothing wrong with the interaction between you and your daughter" camp, I saw the scene, I saw you make a goofy face at her, and I saw her not be hurt or offended by the frustration you were feeling with the project... it's not anyone's place to decide to be offended, for her, especially when she wasn't. You do you... and I'll see ya on Sunday. ;)
Very sad to see anyone questioning your integrity and character over what was quite obviously , to a British family man, “ family banter” during the last video. I hope this doesn’t distract or prevent you making further videos of your inspiring work. I really look forward to the next installment of this and future projects. You are a great teacher/mentor and obviously a passionate family guy, keep up the great work!
The first time I attempted steam bending a 3 metre length using a plastic sleeve, I ended up receiving a bad burn on my foot due to a tear in the plastic. Lessons learnt. 1. Just prior to starting the bend I work my way down the plastic sleeve and where I see hot condensation water pooling, I snip the plastic to allow the water to run out. 2. I wear gum boots when steaming instead of runners. 3. I wear a leather apron that is long enough to cover the top of the gum boots. I find that even though the plastic might have these numerous snips, the steaming process continues effectively.
Unfortunately it did look a bit off. But no body is perfect. You have a great channel and excellent videos and pretty good editing. Keep up the great work. The boat really looks awesome.
Hahaha I remember the scene so well!!! The original video showed a quite a wonderful moment between a Father and a daughter!!! Why are we now forced into apology for the sharing of wonderful family bonding??
I could have done nothing about it but the few negative reactions I got seemed pretty extreme so I thought it best to address it rather than have more people develop a negative impression of me. I expect these videos to be around a long time so I’m considering to bigger picture.
For Bending strips in modellship making we use Irons like the one when ironing your clothing to aid with the beding specially the bow area on more rounded older Ships. maybe thats worth an experiment?
While I commend you for addressing this head on It is so unfortunate that you had to do it all. Any1 who has children especially teen aged girls knows that the fact that she was even out there with you says all that needs to be said about the relationship the two of you share. My daughter 😂 wouldn’t be caught dead in a workshop with me. Plus girls are incredibly adept at ignoring us when we really are giving them the blues. Keep doing what you do. #GirlDad
please mark dont let the odd coments get to you i realy feel the first edit was much better and it was great to see fun with the aprentice its as important to have a laugh in tha shop thats what sparks intrest in little minds clinical approch is easly fofgot ... ps. i was sad to see you upset in this intro chin up mate you did great ...
Well I guess I’m a bit disappointed with the commentary that you felt like this edit was needed. Even though I don’t think it should be the focus, I thought the fact that your family was helping you in the shop at all made me assume you have a great relationship with them. I can’t get my niece and nephew away from their devices for more than five minutes let alone to bond over a project. But speculating about someone’s personal life isn’t what I’m here for. Here for the boat and it’s looking great. I’ll save the the nitpicking for Japanese saw names.
Not sure I would have given in to those people, Mark. Some people are so quick to take offence that it's almost as though they are looking for something to be offended by. I don't think we should be pandering to people like that.Anyway, you've now set a precedent: two videos a week!!
I don’t see it as giving in. I see it as setting the record straight. I can apologize and stand my ground at the same time. I didn’t cut the scene. Just trimmed a few moments out of it that could be misinterpreted.
I can't remember where I heard it (probably from my mother) but it went something like this: Speak harshly to your little child, and beat him when he sneezes. He only does it to annoy, because he knows it teases.
Apologising just empowers the snowflakes into thinking that they're justified in their opinion. From what i can tell you are a dedicated, motivated and passionate bloke which im sure you do what you can to instil those traits into your daughters. Love the channel and im keen to to see more. GDay from Australia!
Thanks Alex. It’s not about empowering anyone. It’s about saying I’m sorry you saw it that way, but stick around and maybe you’ll see that I am not the person you thought me to be in that moment.
Please don't apologise. It never crossed my mind that you were showing anything other than frustration that your planned technique wasn't working. I'm disappointed that you felt pressure to re-edit the video rather than focusing on continuing to make awesome new content.
If the comments didn't involve my kid I would have sloughed them off but I don't want that kind of stuff floating around on the interwebs and I am not one to censor comments.
i understood the playfulness of it ... dont worry about the odd fool who cant see wood for trees ... it was great to see a real moment in someones real life
On the original video of this I saw more frustration with yourself than with your little girl. But that is me and my take on things. Those that try and make something out of nothing need to look at themselves a bit more closely to jump to such conclusions.
Watching the original video, I knew immediately what the comments would be like because on the Internet, if something can be taken the wrong way it _will_ be taken the wrong way and it'll be impossible to convince them otherwise. Think it's mainly because you're just missing so many of the cues that would normally tell you what the other person's intentions were. In this case, I suspect many of those complaining about your tone were simply watching the video with sound off and captions on (just like I was) because with sound off it really did seem like you were gruff and grumpy with her whereas with sound on it's a completely different scene. I also suspect calling your daughter your 'reluctant apprentice' really didn't help your case :D Makes it really easy to miss that she would hardly have been the first person you'd call on to help with something you had already messed up once if you had less than complete trust in her, wouldn't she?
Good observations. Actually I hadn’t considered people watching with sound off but you’re right. I changed the “reluctant conscript” line too. They say the camera doesn’t lie but it does record a different version of what we perceive. When recording intros and such you have to turn yourself up to 11 to make it look anything but flat. It’s a weird thing to get used to and it’s something I noticed when being interviewed for tv a number of times. The interviewer would suddenly change the moment the camera was rolling.
Hi Mark, as with the previous commenter, I agree the video was fine. Your daughter is a teenager and she knows you well enough by now and probably knows a lot of difficulties involved in what you do. She certainly didn't look to be under any pressure. I'm sorry you felt it necessary to apologise to the perpetually offended and explain your home life to the world. A latest example of this stupidity is has been reported that The Globe Theater in London issued trigger warnings and gave the phone number of the Samaritans to people attending the current production of Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. We certainly didn't get any of that when I had to read it in school. It should possibly had a warning "This may bore the pants off you". I've probably offended some Shakespeare people now. Never mind, Keep up the good work. She's coming together nice now . As we say here "She's Pure Tasty"
Dear Mark. This Sailboat is a Masterpiece please Tell the Owner to buy a Carbon Fiber Mast with a Wood Tune Finish! If you going to Have A Pablo Picasso Sailboat Finish it with a Smile. Have him Call GMT Composites Company for a Price and they Just May be a Sponsor for Him. Mark your Work in the Best. Last Question that Kayak above can that Design be Change to a wider Kayak? I can’t find any company to help me. They say Buy Plastic Kayak. Thanks Greg of Ohio
While I hear what you’re saying, I think practical cost considerations will overrule such a measure. That’s fine by me. The rig is kind of an accessory anyway.
Look at it this way, your channel is getting so many views you've hit the fruitcake threshold. Us wood workers do not acknowledge trolls & malcontents, detracts from the zen. Keep on keep'n on & ignore them in the future.
jeez all I noticed was that she looks like a foot taller than last we saw her, unless that's a different daughter. man, if I was youtubing years back working with my dad... yeah, I'm sure you told her it's not her fault and you just need a new plan. I've never gotten that, so good show. you're in the wright! (sorry)
Mark. You did not do anything Wrong. These People out there have No Common Sense and that is why they Think that Way. Trust Me I saw so much Love you have for Your Daughter. I would Give you Both my Legs to have my Two Daughters Back. There Husband had Killed that. So hope your Daughter does not fall that Way. Mark I could see you were Mad at the Wood only. God Bless. Please Fans leave the Family out. Ok.
You don’t need to apologise or explain yourself to anyone. Haters are going to hate, no matter what. And as for the dynamics of your relationship with your daughter, who would have the audacity to comment on the basis of your video clip.
I see a lot of people on here telling ya the truth Mark, and that is you did NOTHING wrong. You seem like a great father, I would venture that the people commenting any thing els are lacking in the parenting department and wish they could do things like this with their kids. Or they are living in there moms basement, and think they need to be a SJW even if they need to make things up. Doesn’t matter cause you seem to be a great father👍🏻
It did appear that you were upset with her in the original video. Its not that she did anything wrong, after all, she was just following instructions. You learned a better approach to getting the job done and it worked out. I'm sure you apologized to her. That's what's most important.
I was going to say in the first video it was great to have help from your daughter. But you know what I decided ? Maybe I should just keep my OPINION about commenting on somebody's family to myself even ( if it's a positive comment). To criticize someone for how (YOU) interpret their family interactions makes me feel angry at all the Nancy's out here who can't MYOFB!
You should not feel you need to grovel to those who find fault with anything they can. They need to get a life and not be so quick to ascribe I’ll intend. You were perfectly fine in the first past.
I seen the video and I was more annoyed with the comments of the folks who were so critical of you and judging you so quickly. People in this generation get so easily offended over nothing these days. Scripture speaks of the latter days of this very issue coming to pass and unfortunately it is happening in our generation. Jesus said, in Matthew 24:10-12 10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. To me this is one of the most scary scriptures that are being fulfilled in our times. btw Mark, I don't believe you need to apologize for something you didn't do.
Thanks Fon, I appreciate you having my back. Sometimes any apology is the best way to put something to bed regardless on which side the apology should rightfully come from.
I can understand the reaction to the video. I think it would have been better to jump to the conclusion that the process you were using was fatally flawed, instead of trying to assign fault or rate your daughter’s performance. Kids generally work because they like to. Adults who bend over backward to make the work enjoyable often find that, in time, they have a skilled and willing assistant.
No offense Marc, I saw you showing your daughter how frustrated you were in a comical way, because your plan failed, no blame was ever directed towards her. It was a creative way as a parent to show our kids life is always about new challenges and overcoming failure its how we grow. So no apology necessary I thought it was good banter and she will probably joke with you about it.
If they did not see that she was not even remotely distressed they need to get out of their house a bit, walk the dog or just take a break from videos. You could easily hear the tongue in cheek way you were speaking. Don't fret the folks who want to treat your videos as a chance to judge you. Keep doing what your doing.
I'm so sorry Mark you felt the need to do this and I'm disappointed that some of my fellow viewers made you feel that you should. Your introduction was painful watching you apologize because of the myopic interpretations of a few.
Humans are a funny breed - not for one second did I think you were harsh on your daughter….at all - in fact you probably taught her a valuable life lesson about being resilient and persistent when faced with a hurdle Nothing to see here mark - carry on!
Everything you say, can and will be used against you. Apologizing has become an expected reaction needed to reinforce the woke-ness that has taken over the world. Please do not mention your favorite flavor of ice cream. All hell could break loose.

Mark your first video was fine. Never once did it cross my mind that your daughter felt anything but love from you!
I appreciate that. Thanks Dean.
Please don't ever feel you need to explain yourself. Keep doing exactly what you are doing.
Thank you.
No need to apologize, or edit for that matter. It’s great to see your daughter helping in the shop! Never bow to those ever in search ways to be offered, they feel reinforced by apologies. Carry on with your fine work!
Will do.
Good grief! Don’t you worry about that, keep on being a Dad who is even prepared to ask their daughter for help, and keep on educating and entertaining us with your skill and humor. Thank you.
Thanks Mike. I’ll do my best.
I didn’t see it like that. Let the haters be haters, it their issue. Keep up the great work
It was a margin call but I want this material to have some lasting power so better to play it safe.
Absolutely beautiful work described in very practical terms that even us Southern Africans can understand! Many thanks!
You're very welcome
no worries, dude. Totally got what was going on. Keep up the good work and keep involving your kids!
Thanks! Will do!
My daughter who is 15 and I found it humorous as we could relate to the events and how they unfolded. I thank you for your apology however it was not needed. May I apologize to you on the behalf of anyone who excoriated you. We here love your channel the content is informative but most importantly it's something that my daughter and I have bonded over even more. We have purchased our own plans to build a roundabout.

We have shared that very example many times.
No apology needed for me. It was clear to me it was for fun. Love watching your expertise on boat building. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Well said Mark, no need to apologise. I remember working with my dad many years ago in the garage steam bending trims on many boat projects. Some didn’t go well and watching the video reminded me of those times. It bought back so many fond memories of working with my dad and learning…

I love that swallow tail deck/transom conversion detail everytime I see it.
I saw the first video , and you were just being a dad. The PC police can piss off. I liked seeing her in the video

Hey Mark, I hope you don't let the comments get you down.
From France super cordialement
Mark, your daughter is of any age that seeing her dad work and get stressed is excellent life skills. You were not rude or in anyway threatening. Life experience for kids is vital. As a dad however of a teenager, you learn to turn such events into opportunities. Next time you have a similar problem, ask her to lead and help. Show her the problem and ask her opinion.

That’s great advice Adam. I’ll try that next time.
It crossed my mind that it could be a bit hard on a young person under those conditions ( you mentioned) I have a daughter and I know in the past I was overbearing at times and caught up in the moment.

Thanks for sharing your woodworking talents with us!
Thanks for that. She did think that she might have been resposible but I assured her that she wasn't right away.
Question answered at 25:00
Thanks.

There you go.:)
See I found your interaction with your daughter as endearing. Making up an on the spot Dad song of 'quick quick quick, do do do, quick quick quick' made me laugh too.

You are a great teacher/mentor and obviously a passionate family guy, keep up the great work!
It won’t hinder future videos but it will make me a little more objective about what footage I might use in certain cases.
The first time I attempted steam bending a 3 metre length using a plastic sleeve, I ended up receiving a bad burn on my foot due to a tear in the plastic. Lessons learnt. 1. Just prior to starting the bend I work my way down the plastic sleeve and where I see hot condensation water pooling, I snip the plastic to allow the water to run out. 2. I wear gum boots when steaming instead of runners. 3. I wear a leather apron that is long enough to cover the top of the gum boots. I find that even though the plastic might have these numerous snips, the steaming process continues effectively.
Unfortunately it did look a bit off. But no body is perfect. You have a great channel and excellent videos and pretty good editing. Keep up the great work. The boat really looks awesome.
In my eyes it was obviously that you and your daughter had a good communication about the situation. I think you both handeled it well.
Forgot to mention that the inlay on the aft deck is the letter 'M'
Haha, that wasn’t intentional but I it was pointed out by my client.
I'd say don't worry about it. You're doing just fine.
Hi The more important thing is your daughter (s) more interested in sailing or rowing. Living near water must be a great.
We do make good use of our liquid surroundings.
Hahaha I remember the scene so well!!! The original video showed a quite a wonderful moment between a Father and a daughter!!! Why are we now forced into apology for the sharing of wonderful family bonding??
I could have done nothing about it but the few negative reactions I got seemed pretty extreme so I thought it best to address it rather than have more people develop a negative impression of me. I expect these videos to be around a long time so I’m considering to bigger picture.
For Bending strips in modellship making we use Irons like the one when ironing your clothing to aid with the beding specially the bow area on more rounded older Ships. maybe thats worth an experiment?
I used that method for the planking but these strips are just a little too thick for iron bending.
thanks for that info i will keep it in mind when i finally get to building the sailboat who's plans i have laying around for some years now.
Mark,
Is there a reason for starting the coaming lip at the front rather than the back where it has to bend sharply around?
Eric
Pulled the trigger a hair too soon eh? Haha
@@Nomadboatbuilding Yep

Hahaha. Deal. We’ll have to do a deep dive into the variety of Japanese ripping saws sometime.
Mark, the Mahogany you are bending, is it African Mahogany? Or Sapele? Both have reputations challenging steam bending. I've never tried.
Sapelle. I’m certainly pushing it’s limits in some areas plus I’m trying to work with it on the dry side.
Not sure I would have given in to those people, Mark. Some people are so quick to take offence that it's almost as though they are looking for something to be offended by. I don't think we should be pandering to people like that.Anyway, you've now set a precedent: two videos a week!!

I also suspect calling your daughter your 'reluctant apprentice' really didn't help your case :D Makes it really easy to miss that she would hardly have been the first person you'd call on to help with something you had already messed up once if you had less than complete trust in her, wouldn't she?
Good observations. Actually I hadn’t considered people watching with sound off but you’re right. I changed the “reluctant conscript” line too. They say the camera doesn’t lie but it does record a different version of what we perceive. When recording intros and such you have to turn yourself up to 11 to make it look anything but flat. It’s a weird thing to get used to and it’s something I noticed when being interviewed for tv a number of times. The interviewer would suddenly change the moment the camera was rolling.
I did not take the scene in a negative light.
Hi Mark, as with the previous commenter, I agree the video was fine. Your daughter is a teenager and she knows you well enough by now and probably knows a lot of difficulties involved in what you do. She certainly didn't look to be under any pressure.
I'm sorry you felt it necessary to apologise to the perpetually offended and explain your home life to the world. A latest example of this stupidity is has been reported that The Globe Theater in London issued trigger warnings and gave the phone number of the Samaritans to people attending the current production of Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. We certainly didn't get any of that when I had to read it in school. It should possibly had a warning "This may bore the pants off you". I've probably offended some Shakespeare people now.
Never mind, Keep up the good work. She's coming together nice now . As we say here "She's Pure Tasty"
Dear Mark. This Sailboat is a Masterpiece please Tell the Owner to buy a Carbon Fiber Mast with a Wood Tune Finish! If you going to Have A Pablo Picasso Sailboat Finish it with a Smile. Have him Call GMT Composites Company for a Price and they Just May be a Sponsor for Him. Mark your Work in the Best. Last Question that Kayak above can that Design be Change to a wider Kayak? I can’t find any company to help me. They say Buy Plastic Kayak. Thanks Greg of Ohio
While I hear what you’re saying, I think practical cost considerations will overrule such a measure. That’s fine by me. The rig is kind of an accessory anyway.
@@Nomadboatbuilding Mark It Does Not Cost for Asking the Company. You Know RUclips is the Best way to advertise.God Bless to You and Family
Look at it this way, your channel is getting so many views you've hit the fruitcake threshold. Us wood workers do not acknowledge trolls & malcontents, detracts from the zen. Keep on keep'n on & ignore them in the future.
Good point.
jeez all I noticed was that she looks like a foot taller than last we saw her, unless that's a different daughter. man, if I was youtubing years back working with my dad... yeah, I'm sure you told her it's not her fault and you just need a new plan. I've never gotten that, so good show. you're in the wright! (sorry)
She has shot up pretty fast lately. She was reassured it was my screwup.
Stop apologizing people, why are you apologizing ? People are nuts
It's no skin of my nose if an apology puts someones mind at ease.
Nomad Boatbuilding apologizing for other people’s wrong interpretation of your relationship with you daughter does have a cost.
Mark. You did not do anything Wrong. These People out there have No Common Sense and that is why they Think that Way. Trust Me I saw so much Love you have for Your Daughter. I would Give you Both my Legs to have my Two Daughters Back. There Husband had Killed that. So hope your Daughter does not fall that Way. Mark I could see you were Mad at the Wood only. God Bless. Please Fans leave the Family out. Ok.
I'm really sorry you had received negative feedback.
You don’t need to apologise or explain yourself to anyone. Haters are going to hate, no matter what. And as for the dynamics of your relationship with your daughter, who would have the audacity to comment on the basis of your video clip.
Thanks Mike.
I see a lot of people on here telling ya the truth Mark, and that is you did NOTHING wrong. You seem like a great father, I would venture that the people commenting any thing els are lacking in the parenting department and wish they could do things like this with their kids. Or they are living in there moms basement, and think they need to be a SJW even if they need to make things up.
Doesn’t matter cause you seem to be a great father👍🏻
It did appear that you were upset with her in the original video. Its not that she did anything wrong, after all, she was just following instructions. You learned a better approach to getting the job done and it worked out. I'm sure you apologized to her. That's what's most important.
It might have looked that way but in fact I wasn't the slightest bit upset with her. It was just a shared misadventure.
I was going to say in the first video it was great to have help from your daughter. But you know what I decided ? Maybe I should just keep my OPINION about commenting on somebody's family to myself even ( if it's a positive comment). To criticize someone for how (YOU) interpret their family interactions makes me feel angry at all the Nancy's out here who can't MYOFB!
Thank you for that.
You should not feel you need to grovel to those who find fault with anything they can. They need to get a life and not be so quick to ascribe I’ll intend. You were perfectly fine in the first past.
I don’t see it as grovelling. I see it as politely setting the record straight.
No need to apologise. Frustration was real and that's real life. Don't kneel to the current PC/everyone gets a ribbon/cancel culture mindset.
I seen the video and I was more annoyed with the comments of the folks who were so critical of you and judging you so quickly. People in this generation get so easily offended over nothing these days. Scripture speaks of the latter days of this very issue coming to pass and unfortunately it is happening in our generation. Jesus said, in Matthew 24:10-12 10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. To me this is one of the most scary scriptures that are being fulfilled in our times. btw Mark, I don't believe you need to apologize for something you didn't do.
Thanks Fon, I appreciate you having my back. Sometimes any apology is the best way to put something to bed regardless on which side the apology should rightfully come from.
I can understand the reaction to the video. I think it would have been better to jump to the conclusion that the process you were using was fatally flawed, instead of trying to assign fault or rate your daughter’s performance. Kids generally work because they like to. Adults who bend over backward to make the work enjoyable often find that, in time, they have a skilled and willing assistant.
No offense Marc, I saw you showing your daughter how frustrated you were in a comical way, because your plan failed, no blame was ever directed towards her. It was a creative way as a parent to show our kids life is always about new challenges and overcoming failure its how we grow. So no apology necessary I thought it was good banter and she will probably joke with you about it.
If they did not see that she was not even remotely distressed they need to get out of their house a bit, walk the dog or just take a break from videos. You could easily hear the tongue in cheek way you were speaking. Don't fret the folks who want to treat your videos as a chance to judge you. Keep doing what your doing.
Appreciate that someone could see that. Thanks Kevin.
I'm so sorry Mark you felt the need to do this and I'm disappointed that some of my fellow viewers made you feel that you should. Your introduction was painful watching you apologize because of the myopic interpretations of a few.
Humans are a funny breed - not for one second did I think you were harsh on your daughter….at all - in fact you probably taught her a valuable life lesson about being resilient and persistent when faced with a hurdle
Nothing to see here mark - carry on!
Yeah but she was slow
Everything you say, can and will be used against you. Apologizing has become an expected reaction needed to reinforce the woke-ness that has taken over the world.
Please do not mention your favorite flavor of ice cream. All hell could break loose.
Right?! While there is a lot I won’t apologize for, it’s different when it comes to perceived interactions involving my kids.
