And low self esteem

I'da put your narrow behind out the door and I"da kept your rifle too...of course I would wait till AFTER you cleaned it real good!

I had a guy ask me how to spell my name, so i told him. He walked in a room came out with a buckshot shell with my name on it, and put it beside two more shot shells with names on them on the mantle. He said "Now we don't want you touching or disrespecting my little girl, now do we" smiling a chit eating grin the whole time.
I thought the other hulls was from where he shot a deer or something.

Not saying you shouldn't be involved in your daughters lives, but when I was in high school the girls with the strictest fathers tended to be the worst. Not that I have a daughter or kids at all, but seems to me the best thing you can do is be a good role model and teach them the best you can. You can't and won't always be there to chase off boys, so you have got to trust her.

You do have to be involved in their lives. You have to teach and train them from the time they are born. You can't just place them in a bad situation though and expect them to make the right choices when they aren't mature enough to make adult decisions. Why would we treat our children like children in every way yet expect them to make proper decisions in that one area? A 15-17 year old isn't mature enough mentally and emotionally to be faced with a decision to have sex or not.

R.H., JTAP, Furflyin, etc.....AMEN

To all you other Asshats..... What if your little boys knock up one of these whores y'all love so much at around age 16...and either has to pay for the child for the next 18 years or gets trapped in a marriage that he hates? Is that the life you envisioned for them?

Been reading. Find it very interesting the different views on this topic. I appreciate all comments. Guess, i just got to figure out my comfort zone then nip it if i have to. I sure like the digging holes method. LMAO!

By that age the parenting is about done. But if it happens you support them and move forward

Dang you Beadlescomb. That comment right there done went and hurt my feelings!! No smiley face or anything.

I disagree, parenting is never done. Agree that raging hormones will take front and center but if you've raised her to believe that she needs no man to survive(except you) and that she is worth something then she will have the tools to confront those that may try her.
Letting the young men around know that you are no joke and that your daughter means the world to you helps tame them some what...I believe.

I have been told by some of my daughters boyfriends and the guys I coached in football that they respected my daughter and myself because we were both real and had that relationship.

Not at 15 and 16 and most likely not at 17. There is a time when they are going to make their own decisions but hopefully you have had such a relationship with them all their lives that they will want your advice even when they are 18 and up.

There was a time in this country when good morals were fundamental. Young girls were always chaperoned until marriage. Just because it's not the popular way to be doesn't mean it's not the right way to be, but you can't just let society raise them and then try to take them back when they become dating age. If you do that, then the parenting is done and actually it has been done for a long time even though you didn't notice.

I have a son that is three years older than his sister. He can beat their arses and not get in as much trouble as I would. But I do know where a few abandoned mines and wells are if needed.

You guys are so full of it with the it didn't used to be this way crap. It has always been that way. Teenagers have always had sex, even one who went to church and had loving parents. You really think you can stop it by smothering them? If it is going to happen, it will happen.

I am glad none of you were around when I was chasing ass.

I already said that if you want to just turn your 15 year old loose you should buy her some condoms and put her on the pill. Don't just stick your head in the sand and say whatever will happen will happen. No way that's parenting.

I agree and I am glad I don't have a daughter.

As much as people want to think that kids are a reproduction of the two people who made them, they're not. They have minds of their own, feelings of their own, and decisions of their own. All you can do is your best to influence them to do as you would at the time and point you are in YOUR own personal life. This topic started off as a futile effort at trying to control something that most people can't.

With that being said, I'm glad I have a son due any day now. I will do everything in my power to spend as much time as possible with him.

What you talking about whack?

my wife controls my sex life with very little effort!!

On another note, I also have a 14 year old son and I hope my daughter isn't acting like these young ladies calling, coming by and Facebookinbg my son!
They are relentless.

My mother used to have a fit when girls were callin the house askin for me. Let him do what he's gonna do and reap the benefits of his actions is all I gotta say. Everything you do has a positive side to it. It's just what you make of it.

As far as your sex life goes, you must not want it bad enough.

Wants got nothin to do with it!
