4. Thou shall look me in the eye, shake my hand like a man and turn off your cell phone.
I just had a talk with all 6 of my grandchildren about that very thing - the girls and the boys. It makes such a difference, especially as a first impression of someone, even a young someone.
>>Wonderful! I’m giving it to my sons. One man in church said to buy a big mean dog to protect his daughter from all the men because she’s so beautiful. This oughtta do it.<<
If the dog hangs around with the girl all day he is likely gonna take the girl’s lead on who to trust.
He really is projecting. These are his own sins he’s revealing to us, not things that are any true threat to his daughter.
Plus he apparently doesn’t trust his daughter to pick a decent boyfriend.
All this chest-thumping just shows what a small man he is, emotionally.
it takes a tough man to make tender women who also have claws. they sound like beautiful girls worth chasing by young men who had better have their act together. (i chased a beautiful young girl and won her in the face of a craggy-old-guy father who didn’t believe a word i said; made me jump through flaming hoops, and then some. (but i always knew what he was up to, just as i knew that the drill sergeant wanted the best from us.)
Why would you turn away a candidate for your daughter who was in the military? i.e. tatoos. So a Marine with the Eagle, Globe and Anchor is out of luck?
I don’t know, my husband is a rational well educated man, who recently started digging a moat around our house (my daughter just turned 13)
Although I don’t appreciate being crude, I admire a man who will go to great lengths to protect his daughters. If there were more of that in the world today, there would be a lot fewer problems with STd, teen pregnancy, broken families, etc.
And know, I don’t trust my teenage daughter to pick a boyfriend (I was a teenager once too). Otherwise smart, rational women loose all their marbles when picking men, and I don’t expect or want my teenage daughter to have the degree of sophistication it takes to know if a boyfriend is the right one or not. That takes time and wisdom. Wisdom to be gained under the WATCHFUL and loving eye of her father.
Amen to that. He needs some help editing as he plainly does not see just how crude and vulgar he is.
"Good evening, _ _ _ _ _. I'm Mr. labette. I'm psychotic. I collect machine guns and I love my daughter very much."
1. Where do you work? If the answer is no...why not?
2. What branch of the service are you going into? Why not? You know there are young mothers your age deploying into hazardous fire areas?
I'm sure as a group we could come up with some others.
How about one for girls?.....
If you’re calling my son....it better be because you have a math homework question, and not for a date.... OR
If you show up at my house with cleavage, I’ll assume you’re the local prostitute and call the appropriate authorities..... OR
If you’re pants are so low that I can see your hip bones, I’ll assume your Mommy never taught you how to dress, and return you for another lesson, pronto....
1. Thou shall understand that your presence doesn’t make me happy -— Lil Missy’s young squire earned his warm fuzzies from me long before she bothered to give him the time of day. BTW, I’ll do my own PI investigations.
2. Thou had better have a life -— Spanky is too young for his own life but he is working hard toward that day.
3. Thou shall not touch my daughter, or I’ll tear your hands off and you’ll have to “whip the bishop” with a stub -— Young Stud is very respectful of Young Missy and didn’t come near her at church camp. Young Stud knows he has more to fear from me than LE Daddy who taught her to shoot and take-down moves.
4. Thou shall look me in the eye, shake my hand like a man -— Young Stud does.
5. Thou shall understand that you are a boy talking to a man. Here’s some 411 to meditate upon before you address me -— Between me and Mr. M, we’ve about covered those. Young Stud has earned the privilege to call us by our first names, but he knows his place and continues to give us the proper and respectful title of Mr. and Mrs.
6. Thou shall know that our family is old school -— This boy was raised Christian Right!
7. Thou shall know that I like cool and expensive gifts and you shall provide unto me this bounty, if you’re smart -— No, as long as you continue to make Lil’ Missy happy, then this mom will be happy with you. You make her cry and you too will be crying.
8. I want maturity when you are around my family -— Again, Young Stud was raised right.
9. Thou shall keep your word -— So far, so good and has my support.
10. Thou shall do these three things: 1) Look good. Do not come into my house with earrings, a grill, or over sized pants with your butt cleavage hanging out. 2) Read. If I have to talk to you, you had better know as much about as many things as possible. 3) Serve -— Check, check, and check! Dang, Lil Missy sure got herself a good one! Now, to go do my daily devotional for them to stay together for a very long time because I’m afraid of what she might bring home next.
This is an old piece.
I've seen plenty of young women who could have used a father with some stones five or six years ago. The focus of this man ought to be that basically, until your through with your education and have established yourself, boyfriends are not important. You can have them, but they should not be the focus of your life.
You may dislike his words (which were written to be humorous and surely are not spoken aloud to any of his daughters’ suitors) but many a girl would benefit from having a protective father like this. Many teenage girls wind up used and abused when they have no father to protect his womenfolk; predatory young men see that a girl is unprotected and take advantage. My own sister’s daughter would have been much better off if she had had a protective father around.
LOL!
Giles demands “maturity” of young men, but he sounds a lot like the punks he’s so worried about.
It's quite the reverse. Young men need protection from today's predatory girls.
Girls raised by parents like this guy are pretty slutty when Mom and Dad aren’t around because nothing turns her on more than knowing that simply having the guy touch her drives her Daddy nuts.
I think he makes some good points.
