If You Have A Daughter That's Starting To Date...

[Traveler2586]

You may need this !

There are only two questions missing.

1. What is your blood type?

2. Are you a bleeder?

You should have your daughter Carry a copy with her, it could help her chase away unwanted guys.

Saved. Thank you. It will be put to good use.

That's awesome if I had a daughter I'd put that to use but I have all boys.

Your perspective may change after a few years. Rather than discouraging suitors, if your daughter has been dating for several years, you might want to think about a dowry form. In effect, it's a bribe to marry your daughter to get her out of the house.

I have an 18 y.o. daughter that I dreaded the moment in which she began to date. Now after a couple of years she is free to move on preferably sooner than later. I guess as a parent the best you can do is teach your daughter the value of self worth. My wife and I have been very open about sex with our daughter and very open about the difference between positive and negative relationships. She has decided that it is in her best interest to wait until she is married. We did not push this on her, rather we instilled in her a great self worth and the choices associated with such a lifestyle. She has tons of friends, tons of guy friends, and is alone on her own now at school. She has decided to make it known to any boy she likes that there will be no sex involved. She has decided and it is her choice. I am very proud as a father to know she has decided to wait. We have had our moments, but it seems to have worked itself out. She came home Thursday from college and brought her new boyfriend with her. We had the spare bedroom cleaned out and ready to go. She made it very clear to us that they would be sleeping in separate rooms and that he already knew that. It was funny that she brought it up before we could.

Just do your best and teach them how to respect themselves. She will be fine.

You sound like the guy on "Last Man Standing" Tim the tool man.... no, that's not it..... Tim Allen !! They just had an episode like that

At the end the boy and girl are setting on a couch with a bowel of snacks between them, looking stiff and uncomfortable while watching TV; in the background Allen is in the next room cleaning his shotgun, Allen ask the boy "are you enjoying your date" - he replies "not really" LOL

Me and my wife were preparing when we had our first we thought it was gonna be a girl she had a feeling and everyone we knew seemed to be either having girls or just had plus her family is all girls her sisters had girls sober thought we would to. I was already planning like a month into the pregnancy what guns were gonna be left in plain sight and what guns would be cleaned when that day came her bf would be picking her up kinda like that country song cleaning this gun or some thing. Well we didn't have a girl just 2 boys so all that planning was useless lol maybe the next one will be a girl and I can play the over protective dad to scare the crap outa some young boy thinking like I was at that age.

Don't think that the alarm system I had installed on the house is for just keeping people out. It also keeps people in.

In their rooms though? I'd still set my trip wires or what are them things jack? The old game with the ball and them metal things they would hurt if some one per say steped on one

[nick76]

Just window and door sensors. Nobody gets in and nobody gets out. I guess they can stare at each other through the glass all day if they want. If they wake the dog then I am going to be ticked. Nothing says hello like my pistol pointed at them.

We had a bunch of kids my daughter went to school with who thought it was funny to Toilet Paper a new yard almost every night during the summer. So when I caught wind we were coming up soon I grabbed my box of fireworks and had them waiting for the boys. When they stepped in the yard my dog let me know they were there. Since they knew the dog they weren't too scared. When I threw them out my window where they were preparing to have fun it was a whole new story. Elbows and buttholes everywhere. Funniest darn thing I have ever seen.

Kids are no different today than kids anytime in recent history, they have raging hormones. Anything short of imprisoning them and fitting your daughter with a chastity belt is an exercise in futility, they will always find a way..........we did !

We raised 2 daughters, both over 40 now, married and I have 5 gr children. We never imposed restrictions and we let them map their own course in life for establishing their own personal values. Not that the road was always smooth, but in the end they turned out to be wonderful wives, great parents with good solid careers of their own choice. My wife did one hell of a great job in educating those kids.

How they raise their kids is their business, we do not butt in.

I knew of one guy that would remove the back seat from the family car just before his daughter took it out with friends. His thought process was no one could use the back seat - for any reason- and it kept the number of kids in the car down. He failed to realize just how adaptable kids are.

A partition down the middle of the passenger compartment would have been a better "deterrent" than taking out the back seat. Then again, I'm harking back to the days of my youth when most cars had bench seats in the front as well as the back. Only a handful of cars had bucket seats with a shifter on the center console. I s'pose the front seat in most cars today is out of "play".

[SirSnookalot]

In my part of Florida, in the warmer months, the kids are on the beach, in the bushes or under a pier with a blanket. Weekends look like an orgy.

No wonder he wasn't enjoying the date.

[Traveler2586]

LOL, good catch Rocbass, I sure as H wouldn't enjoy that either :,(

Proof reading is not one of my strong points

Being young limber and flexible is a good thing. Nothing is out of play, if you can adapt.

[SirSnookalot]

You youngins don't know how big cars used to be, the backseat my parents 57 Desoto was the size of a small bedroom, their Lincoln was even bigger, could have put the Desoto in it.

[Traveler2586]

LOL, ya I remember those old cars. I dated in a 56 cheve myself.

[ww2farmer]

I have two daughters, age 7 and 2......if they are anything like there mother and I were at 16 (we have been together since then), I will have my hands full.

I dunno. Looking at today's cars, limber and flexible wouldn't be sufficient. You'd need to be a double jointed contortionist.

Even my full size, half ton pickup doesn't look like it has much potential in the front with bucket seats. The center console serves as an armrest as well as having storage space. It extends forward under the dash, with cup holders and containers for holding small items. On the other hand, it does have reclining seats and a steering wheel that can be swung upward. And, there's always the passenger side with no steering wheel obstructing extracurricular activities.
