Seeing as how I have a young daughter, and will someday have to deal with idiots,...er, I mean boyfriends, I found this list which I am going to have plastered all over my house when that time comes:

I intend to live forever -- So far so good! |
This has been around for a while. It was originally 8 rules and the 2 other ones were added at a later date. |

Originally posted by IlliusTrue, but the great thing is, if I shoot one of the little douchebags I can blame it on the list, see? Maybe even say John Ritter made me do it. Hell, Jack Thompson can be my lawyer. |

Seven and eight seem a little unfair, but other then that, fun to see that shotgun at the door dads are still around.
For everyone except me. |

I'm 18 years old college studen who happens to be single at the moment. In other words, your worst nightmare, and let me tell you that being the overprotective father when your daughter is in the years between 16 and 19, will only work against you. Being overprotective to the point where you do anything that is mentioned on the list shows that you do not trust your daughter and she will notice.It doesn't matter if you try to boss around your daughter or her boyfriend, she will take it as a sign that you do not trust her. The cold hard fact of the matter is that girls around the age of 16 don't give a crap about what you, as a father, think what she should or should not do with boys. If you don't allow her to kiss a guy in front of you, she will kiss him behind your back, it's that simple. By being overprotective and thus showing you do not trust her, you're damaging the bond you have with your daughter. This means that if she ever really needs you, she might not come to you. Teens will make their own decisions when it comes to relationships. They decide how to have their relationship, not you. Things like relationships are experiences, and every person needs to learn from them. You need to help them make the right decisions, not make the decisions for them. But that's just the way I see it.

Originally posted by Gameloading But see, I'm 35. And I remember every trick of the book when it comes to circumventing daddy to get what I want from the girl. This is what puts me ahead of the game. Far as trust, I'll trust my daughter in every thing she does. That doesn't mean I'll trust her boyfriends any further than I can sling 'em from a moving truck. |

Originally posted by Zorvanhehe, let me assure you that you're not the first dad who thinks he is ahead of the game by remembering the tricks he pulled off in his old days. You say you know every trick of the book? Well, let's just say that you still have an old edition, and there is a new edition every few years. |

Originally posted by Zorvan Well if I were your daughter, I would not look at it that way. Wouldn't she start to think that you don't trust her to make responsible decisions in a relationship? That you don't let her be with her boyfriends unless under certain circumstances...wou | |
