Luckily I never had to invoke the rules. My daughter, 27 now, was the youngest. All three were in HS together and her two older brothers were her protectors. The poor girl had no real boy friends in HS -- everyone was afraid of her brothers. She had what I thought was an attractive dress for the prom and when my sons saw it they said: "OH NO!! Tou aren't wearing that outside of the house." I actually had to intervene.
She is now engaged to a zoomie, of all things.

Obviously, I failed to show you the significant portion of the 18C course dedicated to building and maintaining things.

I have two boys and a daughter for which I am very greatful. I established only two rules for marrying my daughter which I put into effect the day she brought that scum sucking snow pimp home to meet the parents. The first rule was easy, he had to ask for her hand in marriage. The second rule was also easy and was relayed to him when he summoned up the guts to seek our blessing for marriage. It was one simple, well meaning, and heartfelt statement: "My daughter is my daughter no matter what name she adopts and if you do anything to hurt her I will reach down your throat and rip out your liver".

QRQ 30 - Thanks for posting that !!
Brought back memories of my step-father. In the days before motion detectors in the driveway, it was amazing how fast he turned on the driveway floodlights every time I was brought home from a date. Sweet good-night kisses ? Forget it ! I am surprised my dates still had transmissions left - they all seemed to throw it into reverse before the wheels stopped forward motion in the driveway !!
TS - My daughter turned 18 in May. I would love to have a conversation with you in 15 years when your girls turn 18. Actually, let's talk during that 14 - 15 year old age range ! LOL (Before I was married, I worked at a residential treatment center for 'problem' girls. After I married and became pregnant, I had a hard time agreeing on a girl's name for the baby. All the names my husband liked reminded me of 'problem girls' at the center !).

I agree! History shows that whenever SF is used well, success follows.

I tried to kick my 18y/o daughters' boyfriend in the face!
I go to pick her up XMAS eve at her boyfriends' place, walk in the house and my daughter introduces us...this lil MFer is sitting on the couch with his pants hanging off his ass, watching TV and says to me...
"YO, YO...what's up bro"!
By the time I crossed the living room, my right foot was in the air heading for his head/face. My EX and daughter grabbed me just before the point of impact...throwing me off balance. So I missed contact...DAMN!
My pistol comes tumbling out on to the floor. That is one reason you will never see me with out a belt on! Now everyone freezes and are staring at the pistol lying on the floor. I simply pick it up and say to the kid...
"Grown men don't even speak to me that way...I'll be damned to hell, if some punk ass, pants dragging ass kid will"!

Remember the movie;
“Meet the Parents”? Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller.
[Plot Outline: Male nurse Greg Focker meets his girlfriend's parents before proposing, but her suspicious father is every date's worst nightmare.]
I didn’t realize it was a comedy.
I’m a man of the nineties, 1890 to be exact. I figure I have 13 years to prepare myself mentally, physically and in procuring the proper armaments. With proper back planning it just might be enough time. My desire is to meet and greet my daughters would-be boyfriends and within minutes instill such an abnormal level of terror that they will require psychological rehabilitation for the rest of their lives.
Guy, great story.
TS
