Fun with my daughter

[puddle jumper]

As most of you may know that i live in a small town. My daughter I think has a new boy friend. We seen them around town 3 times now together.Shes no longer camped out on my couch bored. Plus shes cooking at her house.

When we see them walking together they always looked embarrassed or like they were caught. Its fun because she is a private person when it come to her personal life. She knows we have seen them but still no remark's on the subject.

It reminds me of when my wife and I stated seeing each other.

Re: Fun with my daughter

Don't be shy.. walk right up to them and introduce yourself.. and act retarded or have a studder. That'll give her something to be embaressed about and she won't consider being seen half as bad as being approached .. Maybe twist the knife a bit and ask if she had a chance to buy the hemmroids cream you asked her to pick up for you.. because man are they burning lately!

Yes, evil, but oh so fun.

Yeah, Hi, Nice to meet you, I'm just on my way to see my parole officer.

Re: Fun with my daughter

I disagree, do not embarrass her. you can walk up, and tell her high, it is up to her, if she wants to introduce you. apparently, she is an adult, and not living under your roof. so technically, it is none of your business, who she sees.

i have learned this with my adult children, nieces & nephews.

Re: Fun with my daughter

This is from an email I recently got, I think its appropriate.

Is there a magic cutoff period when
offspring become accountable for their own
actions? Is there a wonderful moment when
parents can become detached spectators in
the lives of their children and shrug, 'It's
their life,' and feel nothing?

When I was in my twenties, I stood in a hospital
corridor waiting for doctors to put a few
stitches in my daughter's head. I asked, 'When do
you stop worrying?' The nurse said,
'When they get out of the accident stage.' My
Dad just smiled faintly and said nothing.

When I was in my thirties, I sat on a little
chair in a classroom and heard how one of my
children talked incessantly, disrupted the class,
and was headed for a career making
license plates. As if to read my mind, a teacher
said, 'Don't worry, they all go through
This stage and then you can sit back, relax and
enjoy them.' My dad just smiled
faintly and said nothing.

When I was in my forties, I spent a lifetime
waiting for the phone to ring, the cars to come
home, the front door to open. A friend said,
'They're trying to find themselves. Don't worry,
in a few years, you can stop worrying. They'll be
adults.' My dad just smiled faintly
and said nothing.

By the time I was 50, I was sick & tired of being
vulnerable. I was still worrying over my
children, but there was a new wrinkle. There
was nothing I could do about it. My
Dad just smiled faintly and said nothing. I
continued to anguish over their failures, be
tormented by their frustrations and absorbed in
their disappointments.

My friends said that when my kids got married I
could stop worrying and lead my own
life. I wanted to believe that, but I was
haunted by my Dad's warm smile and his
occasional, 'You look pale. Are you alright?
Call me the minute you get home. Are
you depressed about something?'

Can it be that parents are sentenced to a
lifetime of worry? Is concern for one another
handed down like a torch to blaze the trail of
human frailties and the fears of the
unknown? Is concern a curse or is it a virtue
that elevates us to the highest form of life?

One of my children became quite irritable
recently, saying to me, 'Where were you? I've been
calling for 3 days, and no one answered I was worried.'
I smiled a warm smile.
The torch has been passed.

Re: Fun with my daughter

I also live in a very small town and any time one of my kids is seeing someone but I haven't been formally introduced I say to them (when we are talking alone) "so who's the new lover"
They usually don't think I know and it is quite fun from a parents point of view.

No, I am the guy on the front porch with the shotgun in hand. My daughter is only 12 going on 18....It ought to be a fun ride.

Re: Fun with my daughter

I thought I'd been lucky to have 4 boys. Thought I'd avoided all the headaches and worries. So guess what my 1st grand child was? Yep, a beautiful little girl. She is almost 5 now and I'm staying busy cleaning all my guns,


And that was a great story Levit !

Re: Fun with my daughter

Well its been two weeks now and I have maybe seen her three times. My wife sees her daily during the week when she drops her dog off before she goes to work. It use to be she would come over every day and linger around and have dinner with us. She would tell us about her day and gossip at her work. Now it's in and out fifteen minuets tops. Don't hear or see hide nor hair on the weekend.

Wow maybe its getting serious. That's OK i need a new fishing buddy.

The funny thing about it is I use to think she needed to get a life. Now she's got one i miss her.

Re: Fun with my daughter

I got a first name today . We saw them at the laundry mat. He wouldn't come out and looked really closely at the news paper he had in front of him.I just asked nicely who her friend was. And she told me.

THIS IS WAY COOL!

Re: Fun with my daughter

you handled it MUCH better then My Pops and I do when my little Sis decides to bring around the new Beau.

My Pops calls me and tells me what time to show up. I show up about a half hour after they do. I typically find that day appropriate to shave my head and put on a wife beater. Its usually a nice warm day so I get to ride my Motorcycle.

Nothing funnier then the guy thinking he made it past the Father only to see and hear her Shaved head, tattooed Wife beater wearing Big Brother ride up on his motorcycle.

Re: Fun with my daughter

Man you are way to nice!
I don't care if my baby girl was 40 if i see her with a guy i WILL know who he is and what he is about.
Nothing worse than a man who isint man enough to meet you face to face and shake your hand.
My lil sister's new husband has NEVER walked up to me and said a word, in my book anybody like that is a ZERO.

Re: Fun with my daughter

PJ,
Good job, i agree with you ..dont force the issue, i also think that at some point you have to trust in the way you brought them up. letting them become independent yet assured that your ALWAYS there for them. My daughter hopefully knows that no matter what i always have her 6 and i pray she will never date someone who cant show me respect,but kids are intimidated my Dads, so hopefully her new beau will come around.

Well that is the way I was raised and taught at a very young age.
I still think it is the best way.
My dad drilled that into me. (late 50's to early 60's)
Shake hands and look them in the eye.
Address the person as introduced.

I don't think most kids are trained that way anymore.
The guy might be intimidated by PJ. And was not taught to do that.

PJ I agree with marlin4003
Your doing a good job.

But I enjoy the humer of this post.

Just did it last week when my son called me to let us know that him and his girlfreind where going to have a baby.

He baited me!

My remark: Does she know who the father is yet?
His reply: No we are trying to figure that out now!

Lord love a duck: I hate being the chum!

Have fun with it.

Re: Fun with my daughter

You're doing a great job being patient.

My dad and brother would have sat him down by now and asked him his intentions. LOL They ruined many a good relationship for me that way.
