Advice to my daughter.

pin an anatomical diagram of a teenage boy on the inside of your front door with arrows pointing to the areas of concern

- they never wash here
- beware spots here - when they explode you can get gunk all over you
- the use this hand for self-gratifying
- or this hand
- they never change their socks
- they don't wipe their bottoms properly

that kind of thing

I have some old Stanley blades rusting away in the garage, when my daughter brings a lad home (not for 8 years I would think) I shall take him to see them...

Ah, sorry Noodley. Wasn't meaning to doubt you. Sounds like your daughter has a good dad!

 

[Sh4rkyBloke]

That's a classic answer, Noodley - the same thing ran through my mind when I read your post.... great minds and all that!!

I really must learn to bite my tongue though, I have a habit of being <ahem> mildly sarcastic at times... but clearly my 4.75 year old just doesn't get it yet (according to my Wife). My answers amuse both me and her (Wifey) but somehow end up confusing the eldest... the quizzical look on her face at times is priceless... I just hope she doesn't ask her teacher to confirm things!

Tonight, whilst driving home with elder Noodlette who has just started secondary school this year, she asked for some advice from her wordly wise dad. She's never really asked me anything sensible and mature before so I was quite chuffed.

She asked me: "If you fancy someone should you ask them out?"
After some consideration I replied "I would, but your mum would probably find out knowing my luck"

I don't think that was the response she wanted

gosh what a moving post.

I say take a faux hard line on it, daughters are very clever when it comes to dads, and know the difference between protectivness and military style strictness and will push boundries anyway (but this depends on how strict mum is and the dynamic there.) You must realise that dads are super important to a young womans self esteem now and future (HUGE responsibility), the more you expect the more she will achieve.

In seriousness it appears I provide good advice

She thought that as I was a social worker that I would have experience working with people and would know how to advise her about relationships. She'd obviously given it some thought before asking.

it also appears that she trusts you,

you never know she might even have you vet potential bf's

i live in hope that my daughters do the same if i have any...

If your daughters won't vet your potential boyfriends, I'm happy to step in and do the deed for you.

You sound nothing like a social worker.

You sound nothing like a social worker.

Maybe you are meaning I sound nothing like a Daily Wail stereotype

I can remember the first time I went to "call" on a young lady for an evening trip to town, burger, cinema, bit of furtive fumbling and then back home.

It went well up to the point where I knocked on her front door, it got answered by her father, told him I was there to take his delightful daughter to the cinema, only to be told "I don't think so!" by him and the door was shut very firmly.

It's no joke Maggot, poor Lardyboy could have been scarred for life.

My first proper gf (we were together 2 yrs, and damn nearly got married )when i went to call on her 1st time, her brother threw a cup at me, and her dad started showing me his love poems to his wife. A lovely, but thoroughly odd family! Still friends with her, from a distance...
