My girls have a Valentine's dance at school tomorrow. Cora has 3 or 4 little t**ds wanting to "take her to the dance". I know I'm very early on this but I got to thinking what should I say to their boyfriends when we meet the first time. There's always the classics "whatever you do to her I'll do to you", "you make her cry I'll make you cry", "I got no problem going back to prison", etc.. I'm kinda leaning in a different direction. I discussed this with my brother and his girlfriend last night and they thought I was on the right track in going for the shock factor. Now imagine you're a teen aged kid meeting your dates parents. As your headed to the door I'm going to say with a very stern face "let me ask you a question". You're going to turn around and say "what's that sir" or "what's that", or if you're the little t**d I was when I was a teenager you'll say "what?" At that point I'll walk up and say "do you believe I'll F$&K you up or do I need to prove it?" And hopefully you'll stand there with a bit of a dumbfounded look and I'll say "have a good time.... Home by 10" Now I know it's not going to go like this but a man can dream can't he? ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

I am a priest, therefore no kids,,, but I can clearly understand how you want the guy to know how valuable your daughter is. How strong is she?...not muscles but brainwise, able to 'handle her own' ... It is a fine line to scare the guy and not make things backfire with your daughter. ------------- Holding a grudge is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die |

my daughter brought her new boyfriend home from college to meet us. i was sitting at the table cleaning my deer rifle for fun because she told me he was expecting it what he didn't expect was a 30-30 round I had in my hand being tossed across the room to him. then I said "hurt my daughter and the next one will be a lot faster" ------------- Life is tough,but it's tougher when you're stupid. - John Wayne |

Tyler, just tell him that he will decompose in that chicken litter quickly. Granddaughter's new boy friend is scared of me and I have been nice to him. I did mention something about needing to buy a backhoe because I was running out of abandoned wells. And he knows I have taught her how to handle a pistol, rifle and shotgun. What he doesn't know is that he REALLY DOES NOT want to pi$$ off Grandma. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

well, by the time my daughters were that age I already had a pretty good reputation with the local kids. It was well known that I had turned my eldest son into the State Police for theft. So, they all knew I was serious. And, I was always open carry when they came sniffing around. I would ask where they were taking my daughter, and what time they would be home. dance, roller skating, etc was the answer, and then I would say, fine, drive carefully, and do not stop the car anywhere, for any reason, except traffic signals. if you need gas, go get it and come back for (my daughter). now, here's the thing, I am not going to threaten you, that would be illegal, however, I think it is fair to point out, and (my daughter) will agree, I have a short fuse, very short in some cases. So, the rule is, never, ever, be in a stopped car with my daughter unless it is an emergency, never, ever be anywhere we didn't already agree to, with my daughter, and never, ever, get back a minuet late! (my daughter)'s mother and I have invested quite a bit in raising her, and we have become quite fond of her. It would upset me tremendously if any harm came to her while with you. If you can live by those rules, you can relax, and have a good time. Both of my girls could probably still quote this speech. Oh, and after a couple dates with a given boy, I would give him my 'sex' talk! That one was always fun! more than one never came back.

Those are some pretty good ones. FloydKS, yes my daughters are both very smart, very respectful girls. Especially to me and my wife. On top of that, Evie has her first degree black belt in Taekwondo and Cora is working on it. They also like to shoot. If they get in a situation where they can't handle themselves it won't be for a lack of trying. I feel safe to say that by the time they get to dating age I'll feel more than comfortable to tell them about the most vulnerable portions of the male anatomy. You know....

| I feel your pain as my wife and I are raising a teenage daughter who fortunately for now is more focused on her grades than guys but that day will come. I remember after my sister brought home a couple "winners" when she was in her 20s that my brother and I didn't approve worthy of our little sis, being the protective older brothers we are. The next time we presented the potential candidate with an application to date our sister. The chap returned at the next visit with the completed application and a letter of recommendation from a high up coworker at Pillsbury. Well he surprised us, passed the interview and they have been happily married for 24 years. |

| Kid I received the KW from in OK has a just turned 17yo, she is cute and smart and lanky, has all manner of boys lining up trying for attention. He and I reflected on this last night. She is not in a hurry as has told her dad, to get laid. Has no current desire for that, school is her primary concern carrying a 4.1GPA and working extra credits to push that higher to gain College Scholarship. She does have a boyfriend, maybe two as Jeff was uncertain, but they do not gain her attentions very easily, smart kid. |

I had some college classes with a girl who told me that her dad had a requirement that the second date she went on with a guy would be a double date with her parents. she told me that she had several guys with whom she only had one date as they didn't want to do the double with her parents. His view was that no matter now nervous or worried they were, if they were willing to do that, it spoke well for them.

When my daughter started dating I would show the boy a card that I carried with me. It showed a "hillbilly" standing at a gun shop counter holding a shot gun, on the county was a sign that said shot gun silencer. Below that was a caption that the father said "my daughter wants a quite weddin". present Son in law was the only not scared to death of me.

Try introducing yourself first and get started on the right foot, he may become your SIL. He'll have more respect for you and your daughter and shows what you are expecting. First off, you can be thankful you brought her up that someone thinks enough of her to ask for her company to go out. Second, you tell her you want to meet him, third, he must come to the door, you daughter wants and deserves to be escorted to the vehicle and he must open the door.

| Not really sure what’s up with that girl of mine. She’s 23, in college still, hasn’t had a boyfriend in over 5 years. The last one she had, senior year homecoming, I didn’t like that kid. He wouldn’t come near me, say anything around me, just gave off a bad vibe. Sure enough, about a month of dating and he sent my girl a D picture. She instantly gave him the heave ho. She had one a year before him that I liked, he’s still friends with the family, but no interest anymore it seems. Interesting times. |

Raised two daughters; now have a SIL that we respect highly. I’ve always treated the first meetings with respect. When I was “runnin” I had met a girl I really liked. Called after a first date and wanted to arrange another. Her Dad answered and thought he was quite the jokester....asking if I was gay, did I just get out of prison or was I the guy that stopped by last night. I ended the call by saying I didn’t appreciate the jokes and ask that he just tell her I called; I never called her back and doubt she got the message as I never heard back. often think back to that girl and picture her thinking it was something wrong w her and didn’t know the reality was she had an azz hole dad. ------------- D17 Series 1 Allis B- 1939 Allis B- 1945 |

Have a daughter and 2 boy's. I didn't have to do much as far as intimidation. Just let the wife handle it. She had to go to anger management classes for attacking a boyfriend. A couple of one of the boy's girlfriends didn't fair so well either. Nothing physical happened but Wow. No one went to jail and none have done drugs and all are doing very well for themselves so I think we at least did OK in that respect. None of my girlfriends parents liked me much except my present in laws. I think it may be because I held a job and knew how to fish and drove a truck with no AC. |

| It is tough to raise kids in present society. There is so much pressure to "grow up" so young. Media really pushes sexuality at kids. When I was a young teenager, I was more interested in farming and playing basketball. We always made sure alley had a really good cow for 4h . Seemed to keep her interest in dating down.

Out on my own first Really full time HD Mechanic Job, worked 3 1/2 days first of week or end of week, swapped monthly 11 1/2 hour days, again little time for girl chasing but then had some time every other month with seven days off, met a gal was a move in within a few weeks and were together just at six months. Moved back to MO, into Night or rolling shift schedules, extra jobs or work and women a third or fourth consideration. Dated a few from work, did the bar scene, not much worked until met wife. Met at BBQ party, blind date that was not aware of by friends. Struck it off first day moved in together after a few weeks, engaged by a month together, married at end of a year. Been together 36, married 35 this summer. Four Residences, three full homes, two farms, misc. yelling matches and educations on confusing subjects that set those off. Her Dad and Mom and I got along as if a family member from Day 1.
Still together and hanging in there, for now. |

Back when I was running the first thing I did when meeting a girls father was walk up and firmly shake his hand and introduce myself. I wrestled in high school and I was in pretty good shape. I don’t ever really remember ever feeling intimidated by anyone. I do remember my wife’s dad wasn’t too happy to meet me but that’s because of the D that she was dating before me. I can say I never really worried about their dads, there wasn’t much they could do to me that wouldn’t have landed them in prison. I always treated girls well and never took anything they didn’t willingly give so I guess I don’t feel too bad. That said, I sure hope my daughter never meets me at that age. Best thing you can do is teach them to be strong and confident in who they are. My feeling is if you have to try to be intimidating, you probably aren’t. I agree with shameless. Be pleasant but firm. 90 of communication is unspoken |

Hee hee... enjoying everyone's comments here!!! I'll throw in mine, but advise against taking it for anything other than amusement: My son, at 15, had a female friend (16) over, they were watching movies in our (basement) movie theater area, and going to dinner after sundown. Not totally private, but not immediately monitored. It is, unfortunately, located in direct path between the basement stairway landing, and my electronics/radio shop, and I was in need of some tools and parts. As I came down the stairs, they paused the movie, I stopped, introduced myself to his female friend, and issued only one concern... "If my SON comes home pregant, you'll have some SERIOUS explaining to do..." (the look on their faces was PRICELESS!!!) His choices got much better over the next few... My daughter, from the first footsteps, has been rambunctious... loud, energetic, run-full-speed-tackle-hug me when I arrived home every night. She's an excellent archer, and at just-shy of 6ft, a monster goalkeeper in demand by local and state leagues. She can be quite mean at times, and she'll hold back no verbiage when she's got a point to make. Cleaning chickens suits her just fine... When she was little, I told her that she could 'start dating two years after she's married', and she's not afraid to let everyone know my rule. I feel SORRY for the boys that try to court her... so when I meet them, I just say "Hello, son, welcome. I'll pray for you." Really.... she's fearless... she's gonna hurt some poor boy... put 'em in the hospital... just being herself... Most fathers would lie awake at night, fearing for their daughters' safety... I worry about the boys she'd date. I suppose what I SHOULD do is warn them: Son, I'm a father of a fine girl... I'm strong, I'm dangerous.... but that doesn't matter- don't screw up, because by the time I get to you, there will be nothing left of you for me to see... she WILL tear you apart...

They're still pretty little Ted. 9 and 7. Just had their first school dance. Evie (9) ACTS like she doesn't pay the boys any attention. Cora (7) plays them like a starving catfish. She had 3 or 4 wanting to take her to the dance. She didn't go with any of them but I think she danced with all of them.

thendrix, just remember they'll not do anything that you haven't done when you were growing up. I always told my daughter that if you said no and they didn't stop tell me and I would handle it, never heard anything but she did get suspended from school when she was a sophomore for getting in a fight, she never said why she done it but said they deserve it. I always told the boys no meant no and to respect them like they were you mother. Ps I never met any of her dates I always trusted her decisions, her mother raise her well. |

Meeting my daughter's boyfriend for the first time was a delightful experience, filled with warmth and genuine connection. As we gathered for dinner, the atmosphere was charged with positive energy. His courteous demeanor and engaging conversation immediately put everyone at ease. It was evident that he valued family bonds and had a sincere interest in getting to know us. The evening unfolded smoothly, creating lasting memories. I couldn't help but appreciate the shared laughter and the ease with which he integrated into our family dynamics. It felt like the beginning of a beautiful relationship, one that resonated with the spirit of connection celebrated on platforms like https://www.luvfree.com" rel="nofollow - https://www.luvfree.com |

I asked a girl out when I was in highschool. I went to the door and met her mom and dad. They gave me all the rules and said they expected me to follow them. I gave my word that I would. I then popped the question to her dad. I asked if the short bed bump side 4x4 Ford in the driveway was his. He said yes. We then went out to look at the ole Ford. We really hit it off and the daughter wasn’t happy. He and I remained friends. The girl and I did not pan out. |

Well, here we are 2 1/2 years later and Evie has a little t*rd that she calls a boyfriend. It's a middle school thing and that's the only place they see each other but I still don't like it. I've revamped my first meeting plan though. I just happened to talk to an older gentleman one day and this came up. He said when his daughter went on a first date, he was cordial to the fellow and then, as they were leaving, he handed his daughter a quarter and said "if you need me you call and no matter where I'll be there". Can't use a quarter anymore but I believe I'll check if she has her phone then follow this pattern. ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

They are a blessing Joe and it's fun and challenging to talk to Granddaughters about their life. I think they like to talk to us is because we respect them, love them and we've been there. It's easier for them to talk to us. Least wise that's what she has told me. We help instead of being a parent who takes the hard road. I've got 4 granddaughters and so far 5 GREAT Granddaughters. LOVE em to pieces and they ALL want a tractor, cept the littlest two (so far), they're only 2 and 1. ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

What worried me the most about my wife's dad, wasn't what he said, bit what he didnt say. He didn't say much at all. And that worked better than about any attempted scares I had over the years, and I had an ex's crazy mother call the cops on me. Turns out like mother like daughter hence EX lol. ------------- German Shepherd dad 1957 Allis Chalmers WD45 #WD234847 1951 Allis Chalmers WD #WD88193 |
