ramblings of a nervous father

[Ozwynn]

Tiana (my daughter) wants me to fix the Suburban. Thats what she wants is a Suburban.

 

[JohnnyU]

yeah I couldnt imagine being a father of a good looking girl. way to much stress, but yeah get some guns and maybe a few knives and show the future boyfriend your collection. a demonstration of what a 12 ga. slug would do to a pumpkin/thawed turkey would do nicely here.

Why?

My girlfriend's parents like me, they trust me with their daughter. I respect them and her, and they respect me. I give them no reason no to, nor do I intend to. Unfortunately, most kids these days are no longer presentable, let alone respectable.

Props BDAB, she's a cute kid.

 

[Ozwynn]

yeah, thats all her mother. she is my step daughter...... although I am the only daddy she has ever known. she knows her father but views him like an uncle or something ..... she calls him Russ.

My girlfriend's father tried to scare me with some big-shot stories of what he's done in his past the first night i met him. Acted tougher than hell, hung boxing gloves on the kitchen wall(too big to be tightened on his carny hands). After he finished his lecture i said "Look, i like your daughter alot, and respect her and her boundaries. I'll always respect someone who raised her the way she is, but you cant really expect me to fear you, because like all teens I am indestructable."
He's liked me ever since. We are actually pretty close, we golf together. I think he treats me like the son he doesn't have. I even think that if and when me and Heather break up, he will still take me golfing and fishing Lol.

 

[Insanejughead]

I could only wish that my girlfriends dad would be kind with me.


He has set many many obvious boundaries, but I'll be there when the time is right to show him and her mom that I'M THE ONE FOR HIS DAUGHTER!



I pray to God that's how it goes, anyway...

TALL HOT AND 7 ?????


HOW COME MY MOM NEVER SAID THAT

SHE MUST NOT LOVE ME !




WHAT CALIBER IS A GUN CALLED A WALLEN ??My uncle has one and it puts a 3 inch hole in stuff he shots and has never missed a deer yet. He cant shot a deer in the heart cuz is messes up to much . You almost have to shot it in the leg and then use your knife to finish it off .

My ex-girlfriend's parents like me so much I went on family vacations with them! Over the summer they gave me beer and invited me to spend the night.. It could have been the ENORMOUS hot tub I scored them for free or the fact that I re-finished their oak floors for a 1/3 the cost of what it normally would have cost them. Her stepdad even said he'll take me out to dinner whenever he's in Portland, which is at least once a month.

It's a good thing they like me though, they haven't seen the last of me.

 

[Chaser]

most parents i have ever run into have liked me.. i had this one girls daddy who sat me down, asked for my drivers license.. questioned me for twenty minutes, etc etc etc.

And this guy had been to prison, ex felon type dude. And he gave me the whole "i have been to jail once and i ain't scared to go back". I kind of chuckled and told him "Well, i haven't been to jail and still hold my right to bear arms... and i ain't scared to use it." That pissed him off then, and i guess he finally realized that i wasn't scared of him, nor did i really care what he thought. I had my pistol on me, and i was thinking about pulling it out just to make sure he knew i wasn't kidding

Needless to say, that relationship didn't last too awful long. I ain't gonna put up with anyones shit. No matter how hot their daughter is.

To the OP... just pray to god that she brings home a guy like me. I like to think i am a pretty stand up guy

I better not catch you defiling this pic in any way shape or form.

these pics don't do her justice ....... I'll take better ones later..... she has grown 3 inches since we bought her those school clothes.[/QUOTE]


You are in deep shit.
I cannot think of any way that you could be more screwed.

And I can only think of the old "Dad's Curse":

"Daughters are God's punishment for you having been a young
man and doing young man things"

BTW, her smile tells me one thing: she's got daddy
wrapped aound her finger.... yeah you are really screwed.

HAHA, That is so true. My old boss who enjoyed his high school and college years has to daughters. and the older one who is like 12ish now is a huge pain in the arse. I completly agree with this thinking. Which is why I have been pretty good and hope to be rewarded with two sons.

From a development standpoint, a 51" seven year old is not all that unusual. The American diet has improved to the point that many girls are over 6' now - not the "5' 2" eyes of blue" of your fathers generation. Your daughter will date and marry one of two kinds of people. Ones who treat her like her father, or ones who treat her exactly opposite of her father. Your best defense against getting someone you don't like for a future son-in-law is being the best example of manhood you daughter can point to when she thinks about boys. Some people, being influenced by their surroundings (read that as central coast California liberalism) can't help but believe that sexual relations in children just happens and there is nothing you can do to influence it. Like East Texas, I suspect Brown County, Indiana has plenty of young ladies who still expect to be sexual with their husbands - only. You have already recognized the "responsiblity" of being a parent - that's your goal now, to be the kind of man for the next 15 years or so, that your daughter will want to marry. Most young women rush into relationships and sexual liasons early because of poor relationships with their fathers.

Umm, I didn't say she would lose her virginity as a kid.

I said she would eventually lose her virginity. As did you. Heavy handed interference will have the opposite effect as to what is desired. This is not unusual in child rearing. Scare the crap out of any dates, and the dates will happen on the sly. How far those dates go is an open question, but it really doesn't help stuff to push them into the shadows. You can't have the effect you intend if you don't know they are going on (or don't know reliably).

Don't misquote me.

this is a funny discussion that brings a few things to mind. many men are NOT willing or ready to approach a girls father so it is a good idea to invite them for dinner within the first few dates so you can make shure your family values are instilled in the young man without threatening his life or scaring the living shit out of him. a daughters parents are usually stereo typed as crazy and over bearing by young boys so your best bet is do try and break that belief not only in your daughter but in every young man in her life including the little boys she knows now because there is a good chance atleast a few of them will play some sort of roll in her life years down the road. one of these boys may be her first boy friend or best friend so make shure even a young age they feel welcome at your house and go the extra mile to make a good impression on them. most respectable strong young men will make it a priorty to make a good impression on there daughters parents because the parents trust is the key to the daughters heart. young men who do not make shure they have the trust of there girlfriends father usually are not desireable but there can be exceptions. your daughter will most likely draw in the boys as she gets older and hopfully she learns how to sort out the good ones from the bad ones without your involvment. as said before dont scare off the young men unless they are a serious threat to your daughter. young boys and girls that are developing can be prone to making mistakes, what you teach her now will have alot to do with her future.

I enjoy meeting girls parents. My problem is that the parents tend to end up liking me longer than there daughter does. I still hang out with my ex's father and her little brother. Her dad calls me whenever he needs something fixed, and her mom uses me as a role model for the ex's little brother.

My little one was 36" at 2 yrs old and is now 6'1" at 21 yrs - long golden hair and legs that won't quit. The only thing that saves me is she has her mother's sarcastic wit and my lack of an edit function - will take a strong, secure man to put up with her. She is always quick to point out to the guys that her dad is 6'6" / 310# - last guy she was dating came over for dinner one night and I jokingly told him he'd have to whip me before he could get serious with her - she then told me " take it easy on him, dad - I can whip him" - that's my girl (she can truly fight - taught her well over the years)

Really, as said many times so far - be fair, loving and set an example without dominating them - they'll pretty much do what's right.


BTW - she's already laid claim to the Lightning................
