I don't have any daughters but I do know that teenage boys are nothing but trouble. I used to be one. Every boy who goes to pick up a girl at her home needs to know that she has a pair of very involved parents who are going to make their presence known and enforce strict rules. Most young men are okay if you give them a short leash and a firm hand, but if you give them and inch, they will take a mile. Shotguns at the ready gentlemen!
My wife is the baby of three sisters and the first two girls married "difficult" guys. When my wife's parents met me and found out I was a God-fearing conservative, my now mother-in-law went into full "get her married to him" mode. Parents have really good instincts when it comes to their kids.

I like your post!!!

As the OP, I am quite pleased that the little "ha ha" moment that prompted me to start this thread
has turned into quite a jokefest and parenting seminar.

When my now adult daughter was old enough to date, I joined D.A.D.D. Did not do a lot of good.

Dads Against Daughters Dating!

My daughter never brought home anyone that she knew her mother or I would not approve. This included friends of both sexes. Same can be said of our son. Our daughter had a close group of friends that spent many weeknights and weekends at our house. To the best of our knowledge, none of them were ever in any type of real trouble or caused much trouble. Our son had a few questionable friends that we knew of, however, he kept them away from the house. I once said that as long as the police never had to come to the door looking for our kids, we must have done something right. Both are now married and great parents.

The first time I met my son-in-law I had just finished driving from central Texas to Mentor, OH. At my daughter's apartment, I had put my holster, EDC, keys, wallet, etc. on the coffee table while I cleaned up and changed. As I came into the living room, my future SIL was just arriving to her place. After the introductions, I went to gather my stuff and he commented on my gun. Before I could respond he reached under his shirt and produced an almost identical weapon. Needless to say he was a few steps closer to winning me over.

Reading this thread, it sounds like the different between religious extremists is when two teens have consenting sex, fundamentalist Muslims kill the girls and fundamentalist Christians kill the boys.

I raised two daughters. When a boy would come over to pick up my daughter for the first time I would ask him in and have him wait in the living room. I had no guns visible or anything like that, but I would sit down and proceed to stare at him with a poker face. If he asked a question I would answer with as few words as possible, preferably one. I would say nothing, just sit and stare. By the time my daughter was ready to go the poor guy was usually fidgeting and squirming.

As far as I know, it worked.

Sometimes what you don’t say can scare a person more than what you do say.

Hire Rush to have a talk with your daughter and her boyfriend.

My son says that if he has a daughter, when her date comes to pick her up, he's going to be sitting at the coffee table in his boxes, cleaning a 1911. When her date walks into the room, my son's going to tell him, "I've got no problem at all being sent back up to the big house. Now, what time did you say my daughter was going to be home?"

That sounds like an excellent way to ensure nice young men will have nothing to do with her. On the other hand, dirt bags and gang bangers with no respect for women won't be bothered by the idea her daddy is just like them.

Dude, first of all, that was a joke. Second of all, DON'T tak about my son that way.

First of all, I didn't talk about your son that way. You did.

Second of all, if a man says, "I've got no problem at all being sent back up to the big house," then dirt bags and gang bangers will think he's a kindred spirit if they believe him. Out of respect for the 10 year old rule, I won't say what they will think about him if they don't believe him.

This won't end well... You should drop the issue.

[03Lightningrocks]

Yeah... this is turning out a bit uncool. I feel sure that nobody wanted to come off as insulting others offspring but it is reading like it is. I can tell you that if someone wants to call me everything from lazy to anti-gun, your never going to get under my skin. But if I think someone is even getting close to insulting one of my kids(adults...LOL), I am going to take that real personal. Like I said, it probably was not intentional, it just kind of ended up taking that tone. Maybe this thread should go away before anyone is offended. We all do better giving each other the occasional hard time... the families have to be left out of it.

OK folks, this was a joke thread, but needs to stay clean and no insults and no religion discussion. Follow the rules.

[The Annoyed Man]

I'm done with it. You can't talk to people who don't give a cup of warm spit about insulting other people......particularly if they haven't raised children, let alone raised daughters.

It's good to recognize why people didn't see any point to respond to your personal attacks.
