Ping to Part 3.
3. Teach Them How to Sense BS
One of the most important ones and one that can keep you out of lots of trouble..
That was post #3. Plese post #1 and !2
Doug Giles: Raising Girls that Pimps and Thugs Will Hate (Part 2)
As Queen Latifah said,"Talk is cheap and if talk got any cheaper,they'd be selling Nike tongues instead of Nike sneakers"
2. Don’t leave your drink lying around where Goofy can drop a roofie in it.
3. Don’t party with brain-dead buddies. Hang out with friends who keep their wits about them when they’re having a good time, who will not let you leave with three local peons or get ridiculously wasted, who have well-honed BS detectors and who will not let you get behind the wheel of your 330i if you’ve had seven shots of Cabo Wabo.

Great advice. Also, take responsibility for your own safety.
Excellent advice. Thanks for the ping.
My oldest is grounded for lying, then lying about not lying.
She threw a fit of course that she couldnt go to the big football game. Im the bad guy. (someone has to be)
I reminded her mother (who is often lax) that we have to stand firm as this is one of the defining battles as she approaches her teens, we MUST win. I thought I taught her (my oldest daughter) the value of truth and dont understand what went wrong, but one way or the other it will be corrected.
My wife understood once I asked her that what if she says she is going to a friends house, but really is going to a wild party? Suddenly the value of truth was reconfirmed in her mind. Ive tried repeatedly to get my wife to dump the notion of her daughter as her best friend.
Anyway I wrote miss untruthful a note and slipped it under her door being as she was holed up in there pouting.
I hope she understood and is more willing to discuss things this evening. If not grounding will continue until truthfulness improves.
Great advice -- hard to say which is the best, but the reading part certainly stands out.
Every time I read about how girls have to watch their drinks, it saddens me. If they let fathers be responsible for meting out justice for date-rape drug users, the usage would dissapear inside of a year.

My oldest was particularly self-centered the summer before last. When I had had enough of the lack of gratitude for all that was done for her, she had to list 100 things she appreciated about being in our family - no repeats - and was not allowed to go anywhere until she finished. I was looking for certain things to be in that list of 100, which she actually did end up listing. After it was done, she was to read her list every night before bed for the next week. She's much improved in the area of appreciation and recognizing that she's not the only one on the planet.
Great technique, if you dont mine Im going to adapt some of that into my plan. ;)
great advise
BTTT!
Looks good to me!
Did you read this? It's good
If you leave your daughters to be raised by the culture, they will be. And they will likewise be heartily scr*wed by the same culture.
Feminism has been the t*rd in our culture's punchbowl. It has taught the girls they are no different then the guys - to their detriment.
Just don't tell your kids I told you ;O)
