TEN THINGS A FATHER WOULD NEVER SAY TO HIS DAUGHTER - You know, pumpkin, I think you should ask out the 40 year old guy that lives down the street who has the long hair and drives that van. - Your mother and I are going away for the weekend. You might want to consider throwing a party here at the house. - Here, take my credit card and my new car tonight. GO CRAZY!! - I don't really think that skirt is short enough, sweetie. You don't really want to go around looking like a prude now, do ya? - You're 16 and still a virgin? Psssshhhttt...What kind of loser are you?!? - What do you mean you want to go to college? Your mother was raising three kids at your age. You're way behind, aren't ya? - You know, pumpkin, now that you are 13, you'll be ready for unchaperoned car dates. Won't that be fun? - Why would you want to become a nurse when you could make more money as a stripper?
I love them- the last one is the best! Just so everyone knows I have an amazing Father and NO he would never say those things. Growing up his nickname was "The BoneCrusher" for good reason.
Well, that was only eight, right? I've got one. - I got you a webcam for your birthday, sweetie. All the popular girls have one. I'll help you set it up.
"Sure you can have a beer. Hey, have the whole case." (My 19 dd asked if she could have a beer with dinner last night. Hate to be a prude, but Bear and I just stared at her until she said, "I was only kidding." LOL!!!!)
Yeah, the beer thing reeeally depends on the family.Coffee's more off-limits than beer in my family. (My family, not my own home with my kids, mind you.)
beer, wine, whatever. it's all allowed in moderation at a fairly young age in my family. interestingly, none of us have really had a problem with drugs or alcohol. i don't know if it's because of this practice or just lucky genetics. we all went through an experimentation phase, but we all quit after our allotted period without any real trouble.
Right. My parents never had a problem with me having a beer or a glass of wine ever now and again. Of course, being German, it's the norm. Legal age there is 16. Imagine my glee when we went to visit when I just turned 16 and I could go into a bar and order a beer!
lol. yeah. german/irish/english/cherokee here. none of us had any trouble with kids having a bit of alcohol. the funny part is that the kids just wanted to sip some to feel like an adult. sorta took the joy outta getting knock down drunk when you've had a little with the "grown ups."
Same here We're British, and the legal drinking age here is 18. Can't say my bro and I have done much experimenting; maybe that's because of our personalities* in general or perhaps just that it was a 'forbidden fruit' like it is for many people. My parents aren't heavy drinkers; well they'll have wine with dinner and maybe a bit more at parties but never get hammer. So we've probably picked that up from them too. *Being drunk scares me, with the lack of control. He's just a total goodie-goodie.
I was raised in an Italian family, where wine was served to children. I never liked it, but they did think it was good for children in small quantities. The problem is, both my mother's side of the family and my dh's side have a strong tendency towards alcoholism. And my 19 dd has some neuro problems that don't mix with alcohol. It was just a joke, some people give their kids a beer. But, a CASE? I don't think so. Anyway, it was meant as a joke originally.
