      SHM over their childhoods. I always thought Dale Jr. raced more for his father's approval than anything. Horrible childhood...with 3 adults to blame....one of the most disturbing things mentioned in this interview was the fact that they had to have families of their own before they could understand how most families operate.

    • @KK-ex5zu

      Fame comes with a price that has to be paid by the children of the famous. But does it compare to kids growing up in a home where the family is poor, the dads a violent drunk and the moms in jail for writing hot checks no! Dysfunction is going to the norm in a family of fame or wealth, its almost impossible to maintain wealth and fame being around the house all of the time.
      I can't say Dale Sr did a bad job at parenting his kids. Dale Jr and Kelley turned into amazing, down to earth, good, successful, wonderful people so I can't blame Sr for being a disciplinarian they turned out right. But when the kids were doing good even though Teresa was the stepmom, she should've done a better job at accepting Jr and Kelley as her children and at providing a loving home so that Jr and Kelley didn't feel like strangers growing up in the family home and within the family unit.

      Teresa actually wanted to try public school or another private school. Earnhardt was a hard ass for a dad, he gave them the belt for any disobedience. If Earnhardt put his foot down Teresa obeyed. Teresa taught him business ideas, Earnhardt made the calls, thus why everything crashed when he died

    I think the mindset has definitely shifted through generations. The hurtful parts removed in favor of more positive reinforcements.
    Looking back throughout history, considering facts like the Great Depression, Spanish Flu, The Civil War, I can’t imagine how serious life was back then.
    Not so long ago I asked a 95 year old friend what he thinks has changed most throughout his life.
    He quickly replied, “That is simple. Nobody has to work anymore. I remember clear back to when I was three years old. I had to put the work in or I didn’t eat. May have been small tasks. Pulling weeds out of the garden, or picking the garden,feeding the chickens things to that nature but it was work and we did it all day long or we didn’t eat.”
    That frame of mind is so much more serious than what we live these days.
    My father was raised by uncles after a stormy broken home between his parents.
    I got a chance to meet those uncles when I was 12. They were as stern and serious as any prison warden portrayed on television.
    One in particular seemed to be exactly like the warden on Shawshank.
    So yes, my upbringing was much the same with my father. No if’s ands or buts, everything brought forth consequences. The few successes were minimized.
    About the only thing I could do well was run very fast and that didn’t last forever. When I started getting out run in junior high that was about it.
    I now call it being raised by anxieties.

    I loved this podcast Kelley is such a strong/awesome woman it's rare to see a sibling have that much love for their other sibling. Jr has always been awesome and my hero but Kelley and Amy have made him the guy I hope to ever be.

    What they are saying is that it wasn’t intentional or “mean”, Dale Earnhardt simply did not even think about going to see his son that had been at military school for a month. It did not enter his mind. All he thought about was RACING. Honestly, that’s probably how it was until Taylor Nicole was born and he got in his 40s. Whew, that’s tough. I honestly think even Big E would tell you that. In fact, he did say something like he always picked racing over everything else.

      @@JLC87420 i always heard he didn't want his kids ending up like him. Other drivers would pick on big E because he was a drop out. Everyone wants their kids to be better then them. But facts, and displays of the past prove he wasn't really into the kids lives, self absorbed is what drove him to the top. I enjoyed watching him him back in the day as well. But story after story that's coming out from his children prove, dad wasnt a great father.

      David Lusk different generation of raising kids I suppose. Just cause they don’t show it or act like it doesn’t mean they don’t but whatever I was raised by the same type of father. At the end of the day it’s what they think of him not anyone else and they have lots of love for him with a lot of hurt feelings as well.
