Spit, I learned how to treat a lady from my mother too. Her words were usually, if you hurt her, I'm going to hurt you but same basic principal.

[Alty]

Funny.

When I was growing up it was my dad that I emulated.

When I started dating, every guy that came over got the "I have a shot gun and I'm willing to use it. No one would miss you, so keep your hands off and your pants zipped".

I'm actually surprised any guy stuck around after that.

I pity the first guy that comes over to take my daughter on a date. I'll be there with the shot gun and the lecture.

[Romefalls19]

Alten, my uncle actually gives every guy who comes over to date his daughter a 12 page book on how to treat her. The last line reads "I have 12 acres of land, a shotgun and a shovel. They won't find you"

I pity my girls first date too, I hunt so I have guns and the shotgun will be getting cleaned when he stops by along with my two cousins who are police officers standing next to me.

No kids for me. Yaz and condoms willing I never will.

[Alty]

Rome dear, if you ever need my help digging a hole, call, I'll be there! ;)

The thing that worries me is that I know what teenage girls do, I also know what teenage boys do. They can't fool me. I'd rather be oblivious, or would I?

Ahhhhh, she's 6, I've got maybe another 6 years before she's interested in boys. There's already a little boy in her class that tried to kiss her and told her that he's going to marry her one day. Is it bad that I want to throttle him? Sydney handled it well though, she pushed him away and said "No! You aren't allowed to kiss me, you didn't ask!" That will all change soon enough. :(

No kids? Should I ask why or too personal?

[Romefalls19]

Mine are 4 and 5(going to be 6) and I keep telling them no boys until they are 18 and they agree, for now anyway. I've already got my rules lines up. I'm going to buy a couch that has 4 cushions and they will be on opposite ends with me in the middle. I will be that over protective father

[spitvenom]

We are to selfish. We might wake up one Saturday morning and decide hey lets go to AC we go. If we want to lay around in our underwear all day we do it. Plus I don't think either one of us have the patients to have kids. I had to take my nephew (he is 8) for a weekend and I was ready to jump out a window after the first day. Just question after question. I was in the shower he was still asking me questions through the door.

I'd smother him with the couch cushion, really!

I'd love the "no boys until 18" rule, but I don't think it will work. I have a feeling boys will start calling in 6 years or so. :eek:

Girls are much harder then boys. My hubby's favorite saying "When you have a boy you only have to worry about one prick, when you have a girl you have to worry about every prick in town".

Many people don't want to have kids, it's not selfish, if you know that you don't want it then don't do it.

I hate the people out there that think that just because you're married you have to have kids. Parenthood isn't for everyone, just like marriage isn't for everyone.

After my wedding, while in the receiving line, one of my relatives asked "so, when are you having kids?" For God's sake, can we let the ink dry on the marriage certificate first? Jeesh.

My response was "we just got a dog, if we can keep him alive for at least 3 years then we'll consider kids, but if he dies, I don't think we should have children".

That shut them up for about 1 month. :(

[Romefalls19]

Your hubby is right, I am no about to let them date and mommy doesn't want them to date either. I simply told her, I know how I was when I was younger and it isn't happening like that. Also, no way are they having a cell phone with picture messaging! It is NOT happening.

Spit, I see your point, my kids ask me a thousand questions. What I'm doing, why, when, why am I on the computer, who is that, is that my friend. But they are the most entertaining little things in the world. The smallest things amaze them.

[spitvenom]

We get asked the so when are you having kids question all the time. My wife just answers the person as soon as you are going to pay for everything they need. That usually shuts them up.

[Alty]

They're better then cable TV. ;)

To see the world through a child's eyes is truly amazing. Everything is wonderful, happy, fun.

When it snows they're delighted, we complain.

When it rains they can't wait to jump in puddles, we complain.

When they play in mud they're having a blast, all we see it the dirt.

If we could just learn to be more like children, the world would be a much happier place. :)

No cell phones here either. I don't agree with giving a child a cell phone, heck I don't have a cell phone.

I grew up just fine without a cell phone, computer, text messaging, cordless phones, answering machines, cable TV, okay I'm showing my age, but you get my point, right? ;)

I'll be on AMHD in about 13 years when R starts to question me about boys. My thread will be something amongst the lines of "Daughter wants to date; Chest pains are present"

[Romefalls19]

I'll be on here when mine start dating, but it will be on the Law forum probably saying "Daughter dated boy, I shot boy. What's next?"

Or on here, "daughter dated boy, boy broke heart, should I break his neck?"

Better yet.

See Alty that is another reason I can't have kids. I'm 31 and when it snows I jump for joy because I don't have to go to work (50 mile round trip commute everyday so work tells me don't worry about it take the day off)

When it rains I am calling everyone to see if they want to play football in the mud. And I have a blast.

And I really don't want to be caught arguing with a 6 year old about it still being my turn to play with the Nintendo Wii.

LMAO! I love it. You don't need kids, you are one! :D

Mine will be, "how do I dig a 6 foot deep hole in the winter, need advice asap!" or "need to hire a hit man, will pay good money, cash".

It might be better if I move away once the kids start dating. :eek:

[Alty]

mudweiser agrees: that's when you become a grandma ;)

I will never be old enough to be a grandma! Bite your tongue young lady! :eek:
