Now if it's boys her age I get it, Dad can handle that shit all day but you 40+ dudes need to knock it off, at least shoot for girls in the mid 20's.Quote:

Heh. I'm in the same boat. I do my best not to notice leering men by deliberately looking the other way and ignoring what I know is going on. There's no stopping it, men are pigs. Luckily my daughters dress fairly modestly, in fact the 17 year old made a point of mentioning once that I should be grateful she doesn't dress "scandalously" like a lot of girls at her school do. When I was a high school teacher I used to be aghast at some of the outfits those girls wore to class, showing major cleavage and I swear sometimes trying to make me notice. It didn't phase me though, they really just looked like such young kids I just couldn't look at them "that way."Quote:

The almost 13 year old just blossomed, so to speak, and I'm going to have my hands full.Quote:

Do you mean you won a custody battle? And you got your kid back from a vile ex?Quote:

Occasionally he'd lose his train of thought and I couldn't blame the guy. As a 17 year old sitting across the way I certainly didn't mind it.
Slight twist: I ended up marrying one of those girls from that class.
That turned out to be quite the life lesson IIRC.Quote:

I mean you're not wrong but... we were together 23 years, had 3 kids... so it was fine for a decent stretch. So no regrets. Okay, maybe a few regrets, whatever. At least she didn't cheat on me with the history teacher, although that would have been hilarious. lol... killer legs, great tits... this is how we make bad decisions. Something I will need to pass along to my son ("don't chase after women like your mother" may not go over so well, however).Quote:

In the end, My view is that having kids and getting the title of “Dad” is worth the effort. Enjoy the winding road and hope for the best. Cheers to Splat!

Long time lurker, don’t post here often but thought this was appropriate. Wife and I just had our first born on 8/30. We are beyond excited for this new chapter in our lives. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6c30f84418.jpg

Embrace sleep depravation. It’s like always having a 2 beer buzz; then one day it’s gone.

Congrats KTow01!! It’s the best adventure even though it’s hard. I miss having my daughter sleep on me like that!!!
Assuming you're talking about classes for the kids and not you, I taught my girls self defense for women using YouTube videos and practicing in the basement. Anybody who fucks with them is either getting eyes gouged out, head butt, or throat punch.Quote:

WTF.
On a totally different note, Congrats ktow!! I also miss those days of the baby sleeping on my chest. Some of my happiest. Enjoy it, and don't let our tween/teen challenges get you down. It's so worth it!!!
Kids. I stopped just shy of my black belt when I was still a pipsqueak.Quote:

I used this one. I think it is important to go through it several times step by step and practice on each other. The most important thing is that they have a plan. Having a plan prevents you from panicking, which is probably what lots of women do when they suddenly find themselves being physically overpowered. Having a variety of strategies to use is important. A lot of little tidbits in this video are worth emphasizing, like yelling FIRE instead of HELP. Makes sense, people shy away from help cries but fire they might investigate a little, which will likely scare off an attacker. Sucks to think about this stuff but your daughters may thank you one day.Quote:

I was actually really happy that she showed signs of caution when climbing the concrete porch steps last week, descending one at a time instead of one big step off the top.
Our second is about two and a half weeks old. I'm trying not to shortchange him on concern, but there have already been a lot of times my wife got worried and I reminded her that older sister did the same thing, we worried and researched and maybe called the doctor, and it was all nothing burger at the end of the day.

Young ones.. enjoy!
Often times the "pain reaction" is for attention, and if the attention isnt there it doesn't happen. Sounds like you are well on your way to withholding unnecessary attention.
If you're consistent with it the attention seeking will stop, then you'll know that if you hear a scream its the real deal and you'd better fkn hurry.
Yep!Quote:

Man do I miss those days. My one and only daughter is 17, a senior in highschool, and most likely headed out of state for college. I just hit me about a month ago that everything we do with her is likely the last time we do that thing. Last year of watching her play soccer, go to prom, last camping trip, vacation, etc. It crept up on us fast. I get choked up just thinking about it...I'm really gonna miss her when she leaves.Quote:

Mine are too young to have this issue yet, but have lots of friends who's older kids play collegiate sports.
They try to plan travel for games when they can.
