Parents of daughters...

[Thewino]

I have three daughters. I have to admit that I was pretty rough on some of the boys that came by. Here's a funny story: I was in the back yard cooking on the grill. Someone knocked on the door of my wooden fence. It was a young man coming to pick up my daughter on a date. I told him that if he ever wants to pick up my daughter he will need to use the driveway and not the back yard fence.

A couple of minutes later, there is honking coming from the driveway. I was in shock. This youngster was in my driveway honking his car horn to pick up my daughter to take her out for a date. After a lesson in manners: I told him that if he ever wants to take my daughter out, he will certainly need to knock on the front door like a normal person. I sent this young man packing.

Of course my daughter was miffed at the time but is fully understanding now.

There are a ton of creeps out there and I was fully conscious of the stares from the pervs when my girls were growing up. I always kept a close eye on them and tried to keep the lines of communication open.

I also let them know at parties to never, never pick up a drink that they have put down if they lost sight of it for even a few seconds. They understood about people slipping stuff into drinks.

There is a lot of worring with girls but they sure are worth it. I'd give everything I have to do it all over again.

one question and I'll probably get my head handed to me for asking it but....

at the time did she look 13 or 21?

Mal, I can imagine how disconcerting this would be. I would be glaring at them and I'm sure you monitor Victoria's outfits for age appropriateness. (I saw the grounding post for the facebook-good for you!)

AF I know where you are coming from though. Last week we were at the Grand Canyon and there was a girl around 11 wearing a t shirt that said OMG WTF! Who would let their child out of the house wearing something like that????

Another one was wearing tights and a skin tight leopard printed top.
She would have been at home on the street of Vegas. I realize that what one wears shouldn't have anything to do with it....but I was wondering about these girls upbringing...so I imagine that a perv would be too.
