A new experience for me today

My eldest daughter is 17. She has a boyfriend. We did not allow boyfriends before she was 16.

Anyway the said boyfriend was coming over to the house today. My daughter thought I would be at work today so the said boyfriend would be gone by the time I'd got back from work.

She didn't know that I'd actually started my Christmas Break today. So this morning before I went out to get stuff for cleaning the oven I went up to her room. She said "Are you not working today? I said no. The reason I went to speak to her was to say "I'm off to get stuff to clean the oven but house rule is you and said boyfriend are not allowed to be alone in your bedroom"

Grumpy daughter was shocked I was at home and upset I laid down the house rule. She said "Its not like we would do anything" I said house rule is house rule. "Well where can we go? She obviously was worried about me meeting the said boyfriend as well.

So I said "You and the said boyfriend can take my man cave for the afternoon, I'm cleaning the oven this afternoon, I won't embarrass you"

So they did.

Anyway my new experience is this.

A couple of times I had to walk through my man cave, before I did I had to knock on the door. When I walked through they were holding hands or their arms were around each other.

Wow what a shock for me. Some boy has his hand in my daughters hand, they were cuddling on the sofa.

Even though I was shocked I'm quite understanding with the reality of life. That's why I laid down the house rule, after all I was a male teenager as well:lol

My daughter is now dating and I need to handle it in the right way.

So I've just gone a bought a shotgun and a pair of nut crackers.

You need a shovel to place by the door and an axe to sharpen.

Then a deranged look in your eye when talking to said boyfriend about your daughter's last guy she liked... make sure you talk about him in the past tense like he died.

say something like this upon meeting the boyfriend, "You'll see a lot of me around here when you visit as I"m still under house arrest for what I did to the last guy. They say he'll recover though." Then twitch a little and walk away.

Seriously...
Do you know his parents?
What kind of value system was he raised with?

How about his siblings?

Where did she meet said dead meat...I mean guy?

Met the mother today.

To be honest my biggest worry is that he is not a Christian. He knows my daughter is.
We have talked to her about this. But at the end of the day she has to make her own choices/decisions.

Hey papa, is it acceptable to take him for a walk to the end of the pier and talk about the fishes?

That's always a good approach. When you get to the end, you start the conversation like this: "I've known people that have fallen in out here. A few survived. So, tell me again what your intentions are with my daughter? " Twitch the whole time he answers.

Just so I know, which part of me is twitching?
Is it my eyes? Or my hand which is next to the pocket that has my revolver in?

Well definitely the head. Like you have no control. The mouth must contort every so slightly. But only do it when you're mentioning something in the protective father mode. The other types of twitching are optional but also effective.

My daughter is 40 now but the grandkids are 9 and 11. I'm riding backup for dad. I'm gonna play the crazy old granddad. Maybe I'll pull out a few teeth too. Just for effect. Front ones.

Gormless smile, cool. Grandads can play crazy cause that's expected. Great camouflage though.
