I wish. Probably not. She could if she put the effort in, but is afraid it will take too much time from her studies. She's headed for a pretty heavy undergrad major.

Her: "I do oil the pan, I just put butter on to add flavor and help it crisp up better. "
Best dad moment of the week.
Introduce her to bacon grease if she hasn't already been...Quote:

18+ is fair game? NEVER, EVEN IF YOU MARRY HER, YOU PERV ? somewhere in between?
I still have about 10 years until I have to figure out where I stand concerning my daughter and what to teach my son [emoji28]
BTW. What did you tell your sons?
If I were you I think I’d actually just delete this post and hope not too many people saw it. Jesus, really? You’re their teacher for fuck’s sake.Quote:

Which basically says: They look so young even in the first semesters of uni so I don't know where people get the idea.
I think another teacher said it best upthread: " they look like kids to me."
The rest is a real question: when do you become less protective? I can't even imagine what it's going to be like when my kids are teenagers.
Maybe I should be less humorous about it? And I thought the date dad from American movies was a funny cliché...
Given previous discussion, this feels appropriate: https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/...-consent-fairy
I'm home today with the "sick" 6 and 11 year olds.
6yo threw up multiple times this morning around 5-6am and clearly needs to stay home.
11 yo heard it from her room and immediately had a stomach ache so "can't go to school." (lol).
With wife's input, both stayed home. I called out to stay with them.
Only feeding them simple grains, bananas..etc. easily digestibles.
11 yo (who may be sick or may be faking, not sure yet) is asking for yogurt.
Any solid resources you can point me to that outline what kids should/shouldn't eat if they have a GI bug?
Both tested Covid Negative.. that was step 1.
6 yo is under the weather. I think 11 yo is playing it.
Secretly appreciate 11yos play, seems like something I would have done.
This afternoon she tried to convince me to get them both covid tested (not Dr recommended with current circumstances).
Her logic was covid test means they get a "treat" after the testing and then get to miss school again tomorrow while waiting for results.
Well played, but caught and shut down. Lol

She seems ok, and is still gonna go with a gaggle of her girlfriends……So if y’all need me this Saturday, I’ll be cleaning the guns and watching the clock. Fuck me it goes so fast, enjoy every minute, gentlemen.
I’ll need notes on what goes well or doesn’t, as I’ll be hitting those days soon enough it seems.Quote:

7 year old is turning into a little soccer player. Had a frustrating game yesterday, had a few breakaways that weren’t going her way until she finally converted on one of them. Whereas younger me would have tried to rage quit, she actually stuck with it through the frustration and kept trying, which made her appreciate the goal that much more. Proud dad, even if I can’t take credit for it.
Good perspective on my 2 and 4 y.o. girl woes.Quote:

Ok this isn’t fun as a dad. The dress is on and they are out getting pictures. Holy shit!
Too grown up for me right now.
^^ woah congrats Dad. You did it!

BRAT diet works for older kids too, and adults that ate chicken wings and drank too much beer the night beforeQuote:

One night, kinda late I get this call and all I hear on the other end is breathing. I just hang up, but then it happens twice more. On the 3rd call I’m thinking it must be some pervert making crank calls, so I decided to take the offensive. (I didn’t have caller ID).
So I tell the caller that I know who they are and if they try to call me again I’m gonna come after them and beat the livin shit out of them. I actually assumed I was talking to an adult. It didn’t occur to me that it might be a kid.
Anyway, as it turns out it was my daughter’s latest boyfriend wannabe and he was trying to call her but when I kept answering he froze up. The next day at school, a terrified young man relays this incident to my daughter. Now here’s the best part. She didn’t really try to clear it up. So I quickly developed a “reputation” that even followed me across the state when we moved and my 3 daughters helped perpetuate the myth all through their high school years. Needless to say, it didn’t eliminate dating issues, but it helped keep things in check.

The “dad cleaning his guns at home” trope is one I never quite understood.
I like something for subtle.Quote:

Because policing your childrens' sexuality is a pretty fucked up thing to do.Quote:

Everybody has a line, it might not be in the right place but they do. If they don't, they are terrible parents.
