ACMESkydiver 0 #1 February 12, 2008 I posted about my 11 year old daughter finding out about the tooth fairy. Yeah I can accept that she was at least doubting all of this time...but she wants to believe in fairy tales and believes there's more good than evil in the world, yadda yadda yadda. Yesterday she says a boy in her class asked if she would be his 'girlfriend'. Oh Gawd... She asked me to PLEASE don't tell daddy! "Daddy will shoot Evan!" "I promise daddy will not shoot Evan, honey." "He said he would...when I get a boyfriend...and the shotgun on a porch or something..." "He was teasing, honey. He will not shoot Evan." Oh geesh... So I try to talk to Joe about this (because the Sprout doesn't want to tell him by herself; it's a 'girl thing' she says). Ok you can imagine Mister old army Ranger's first reaction. After I got him calmed down, I guess we agreed upon: If you want to call it 'boyfriend/girlfriend', I guess it's a social thing There will be no alone time. EVER. There will be no dates. We will not be taking you and your little beau out to the movies or whatever. That's what you have girlfriends for. 'Dating' will wait. There will be no physical contact beyond hugging. No kissing, and nothing at all more. She made a face and said, "Ew, I wouldn't want to kiss him any way! He's my friend, mom." <-- She just called me and said that Evan bought her flowers and asked if I would drive to school to bring them home so she didn't have to bring them home on the bus. >sigh<. And she wants me to help her pick out a Valentine for him. "How 'bout chocolate? Do boys like a chocolate heart or something, mom?" "Can he eat it?" "Yes." "Then the boy will like it, honey." Oh Gawd I am getting old...~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She has a cell phone (pre-paid) and she's a texting fiend with her little girlfriends. -She still hasn't gone through all of the units that we bought last year, so she's not spending money & I'm ok with that. We just tell her to keep watching her balance drop and when it's done...she'll have to pay for more! She's already on the phone over an hour at a shot with her girlfriends...oh gyad. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

mouth 0 #13 February 12, 2008 Should have known you buys would jump on that. Good on you teaching her the value of a $$ by allowing her to see the decrease. I hate to tell you but shooting now might be the best thing...it will warn future dates away and she will have time to outgrow the trauma. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

So I suppose for the sake of our intact family it's good we just have the one boy. ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is always best to be completely honest with your child Jaye . . . Sprout needs to know that Daddy MIGHT shoot evan - It does instill a bit of, "Oh Shit - maybe he will" That is a good thing. Fathers Day - I showed my daughter how to clean a mossberg Pump 12ga. It did leave an impression.As long as you are honest - they know what to expect. Just let her know that Joe can be REALLY accurate from a thousand yards, Yes Sprout, honey that is TEN football fields.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
