We've told our children they could date when they finished their schooling, especial during the hight school years. With the two older one aways at college into there 20's now the rules have change, they are adults, but so far they want get their own life into order before they date or do the family thing~ Unless God throws someone in their face that is...

Rule One:
If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up.

Rule Two:
You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them.

Rule Three:
I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose his compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact, come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist.

Rule Four:
I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a "barrier method" of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate, when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.

Rule Five:
It is usually understood that in order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is "early."

Rule Six:
I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry.

Rule Seven:
As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process that can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car?

Rule Eight:
The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool. Places where there are no parents, policemen, or nuns within eyesight. Places where there is darkness. Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness. Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka - zipped up to her throat. Movies with a strong romantic or sexual theme are to be avoided; movies which features chain saws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old folks homes are better.

Rule Nine:
Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a potbellied, balding, middle-aged, dimwitted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me.

Rule Ten:
Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a rice paddy near Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit your car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car - there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine.

Lol~ Great rules! I kid you not, my dad had a shot gun hanging over our fireplace, he warn our dates, " I except my daughter to be return in the same condition as she left this house"! Followed by "I have a gun and a backhoe out back as well" understand young man???? Now you kids have a good time.

My daughters have been informed that when they date a young man his first date will be with her and me here at the house.

We will be making sure that we are all on the same page before anybody wonders off into the evening sun with my daughter in hand.

The dress was beautiful also.

Thanks~ It was so good to see her and her gal friends so happy. We all live very remote so this was a big deal for these girls to get dress up and drove 89 miles one way into a small city of 10,000 for a really fancy dinner, followed by the 89 mile drive back. Prom was held in a private building back here. There was adult supervision at all times, like her dad and a few other dads as well as a mom.

Oh... sorry sister... I noticed a typo in your post...

You said "It's good to have rules, EVEN ones that are somewhat threatening"

I think you meant to say "It's good to have rules, ESPECIALLY ones that are somewhat threatening"



j/k of course.

y'all are going to let your daughters date?

Not me!!

My daughter is 3. There is a little boy at church who's 4, his name is Logan. (He's made all the rounds) Currently he is my daughters "boyfriend"

The other night at church, he walked up to her dad and said "I'm going to marry Marwee" (Marleigh spoken by a 4 yr old). They shook hands and he walked away with my dumbfounded husband watching after them.

I told him as he walked away that that was ok, they could live in our basement.

I have pictures, I'll try to post them

LOl~ Do share~

It always amaze me when I see how fathers behave when guys take note of their daughter~

So very protective as a father should be, and us moms try to clam these father from killing the poor guy for just saying hi or a smile her way. Then we say the wrong thing like, (remember when you were young honey) and yes he remember, were as this leads to that glaze over look you see in a many of a father eyes who have daughters of dating age. Where upon he turns crazy or insane goes on to proclaim she not going to date till she 40 or leave the house as will, or better yet lock her in her room~ Fathers got love them~...
