Rules For Dating My Daughter Mom

🛑 👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻 INFORMATION AVAILABLE CLICK HERE👈🏻👈🏻👈🏻

Right now, my daughter has a lot of boy friends. Notice the space. Boys are her friends. They have playdates in our backyard and giggle over popsicles. As a mom who remembers all too well how painful the drama with girlfriends can be, I'm glad she enjoys her friendships with boys. But I'm not exactly holding out hope that this will last forever. One day my daughter will begin to date.
The way it looks now, she will likely date boys (although if it's girls, her father and I are fine with that too). I'm not ready yet, but I'm getting there. But before any boy comes a'knockin', he might want to prepare himself ... we've got rules for dating our teenage daughter:
1. No means no. Her father and I have been teaching her that she has the right to say "when" ever since she was young enough to be out of our sight. And she has my full permission to knee you in the nuts if you don't listen.
2. An open door means an OPEN door. Not a door that isn't locked but is technically closed. Not a door that is so close to closed that you can't see in (but you could push open). Open. Period.
3. Condoms are not optional. I'm not an idiot; eventually my daughter will have sex. Hopefully it's later rather than sooner. But no matter what she's using for protection, you're using something too, buddy.
4. There is such thing as too much PDA. You will want to kiss. Hug. Hold hands. I get it. I was young once. But if you're groping my teenage daughter in public, she will be in trouble, and I will be telling your mother.
5. Keep your hands off her neck. I'm not just talking about violence (this should be a given). I'm talking about the boys who walk around the mall with one hand wrapped 'round the back of his girlfriend's neck. My daughter is not a dog; she does not need a collar.
6. Don't honk. You have two hands and two legs. Use them to get your hind end out of the car and walk to the door when you're picking her up.
7. Don't break curfew. If she breaks curfew, even if it's your fault, she will be in trouble. If you "lurv" her so much, you won't want her to get in trouble, will you?
Being the Only Mom in My Group of Friends Was Hard … Until I Changed My Perspective
8. Don't lie. To her. To me. To your parents. Everyone is much more likely to forgive if you just start with the truth.
9. She's smart. Get over it. Her father and I have worked hard to make sure she knows her smarts are valuable. We're not going to let you convince her she's nothing more than her pretty face.
10. She's comfortable in her skin. Let's keep it that way. If you're not attracted to all of my daughter, and you want to pick apart her weight or chest size, hit the road Jack, and don't you dare come back. She doesn't need you to tear down her self esteem.
Follow these, and I promise I won't let my husband pull out the "I've got a shotgun and a shovel" line my dad used on him. Well ... maybe ...
Do you have rules for the boys who date your daughter? What are they?
Parents know how it goes: we excitedly purchase tons of toys for our little ones, delight in their smiles as they open the first two or three, and then immediately suffer from buyers' remorse as we watch them have more fun with the wrapping paper and boxes than with the actual toys. Young children are absolute masters at pretend play and often require no supplies—or very few—most of which are already around the house. So instead of filling your home with more plastic hoozeewats, consider giving your kids the gift that keeps giving by suggesting one of these 10 great imagination games that toddlers can play.
If you have a closet filled with clothing or—even better—boxes of old clothing and costumes, you are totally prepared to let your tot run wild and play the ultimate dress-up game with scarves, hats, dresses, and high heels. Designate a "runway"—the hallway works nicely—and let them flaunt their fashion while you play music. If you want to kick up this game a notch, grab markers, glitter glue, and stickers and let them redesign your old skinny jeans.
Before you say, Wait, kids totally need a doctor's kit and a million other things to play doctor, it's not true! All they need is your robe or old shirt and a string you can attach a circle to—instant doctor's coat and stethoscope (though one of those cute play stethoscopes are ok too)! Line up their stuffed animals and dolls on their bed and they have a slew of sick patients in need of their help.
Every single thing you see in your house is something your child can sell at his or her "store." Cut up a few pieces of colored paper for "money" and use play as an opportunity to teach your toddler about money and how buying and selling goods works.
An oldie but a goodie, hide and seek is the ultimate rainy day/no-toys-needed game that your toddler can play with mom, dad, and his or her siblings and friends.
Got a toddler who loves Frozen or books? Show her how to put on a play based on her favorite story. Help her by offering a bag of household "props" like dishrags, plastic spoons, and cups. You'll be amazed at how they get used! And, before you know it, she'll be creating her own original theatre production.
All you need is chalk and a driveway or sidewalk to create the perfect Hopscotch board—which doubles as a great opportunity for your child to get a bit of exercise.
Know how our kids can never find anything and are constantly asking us to help them locate that one teeny red car that suddenly means the world to them? Instead of letting it frustrate you, make a game out of it by providing a list of scavenger items for them to find and offering a simple prize—a piece of candy will make them work extra hard—if they can locate everything on the list.
Dim the lights, turn up your music, and tell your toddler you're about to throw the greatest dance party in the history of your house. All you have to do is prepare a song list ahead of time, make sure it includes a variety of fast and slow songs—so that you don't wear out your child in five minutes—and then sit back and let them practice their slick moves on your living room rug.
I Spy is a great game to keep kids occupied when you're out of the house and far away from their familiar toys. Players choose one "spy" who then secretly selects an object he is going to spy on. The spy then provides simple clues about the object ("I spy something that makes a lot of noise") and has to continue to give clues until one of the other players correctly guesses the object.
Of all the games on this list, License Plate Bingo takes the most preparation on a parent's part—but the trade-off is well worth it when you're embarking on a long car trip with little ones. Prior to your voyage, print out a "Bingo" sheet and paste photos of various license plates from across the country on the sheet. Then explain the rules of Bingo to your children and tell them they will be on the look-out for license plates on the road that match those on their sheet. Be sure to provide a small candy or sticker prize for winners. This game works best when you have older kids in the car to help your younger one.

MoreIn Rules for Dating My Daughter, Mike Dawson uses visual storytelling to offer original, compelling, and funny commentary on fatherhood, gun rights, the gender of toys, and staying sane in a world where school shootings and Disney princesses get equal billing.

Some touching and insightful points, but a bit disjointed. Captured some existential angst, particularly on animal consumption, in a terrifying way.
I wasn't at all familiar with this author before picking this book up from an abandoned table at my local library. I'm not a huge graphic novel fan, but I have a tween daughter and I liked the cover so thought I'd go for it. It was just "meh." I get so sick of books and colu ...more
