They are right about "daddy's girl". My 11 year old daughter is like a shadow. She goes everywhere I go.. Don't know how long that will last tho. She is talking about boys alot lately.

Isn't it funny how when your wife was pregnant everyone would tell you how your life is going to change - and you start thinking to yourself: " Man...no more stopping by the bar on the way home, no more golf weekends with the buds, no more weekend getaways at a moment's notice, no more Saturday night poker games, huntin' season is gone forever...etc."?

And when you see your baby girl for the first time, you realize what everyone meant when they said your life was going to change. It's not about all that other stuff, 'cuz you'll still get to do all that. I can't explain it any other way and no one knows what the heck it is we're talking about until they go through it themselves, but isn't it cool?

Wait 'till she turns 2 and wants to go with you!!! It's all about having FUN!!!

Enjoy...this is what it's all about!

no truer words could be spoken. i have spent all day at the hospital with her and my wife. i just can't seem to put her down. all of the other things that i used to think were important in my life just don't seem that important anymore. it is amazing how my perspective has changed in just a matter of moments. i look at her and think that this must be the meaning of life.

i now know what everyone else was talking about. i used to look at other people with kids and think "man we've got it good" we could do what ever we wanted when we wanted. we didn't have to find a baby sitter we just went. it was nice. but this is by far better. i know it will be hard and trying but i now know the true meaning of a fathers love.

she is now my life.

I really like my truck but NOTHING compares to the feeling I get when I drive up and my daughter runs up excitedly to see me. (Just don't tell the wife I said that! )

BINGO!!

Welcome to the club!!

Word of caution: Mine's 2 and I have to sometimes put on the black and white stripped shirt and step in the middle of her and Mama and send them both to their corners!! You'll laugh your butt off (and remember I told you so!) the first time you see a grown woman arguing with a two-year-old!!

Something to look forward to

Bob

Thought this was funny. And true.


Ten rules for Dating my teenage daughter


Rule One:
If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up.

Rule Two:
You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them.

Rule Three:
I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose this compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact, come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist.

Rule Four:
I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a "barrier method" of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate, when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.

Rule Five:
It is usually understood that in order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is "early."

Rule Six:
I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry.

Rule Seven:
As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process that can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my truck?

Rule Eight:
The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool. Places where there are no parents, policemen, or nuns within eyesight. Places where there is darkness. Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness. Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka - zipped up to her throat. Movies with a strong romantic or sexual theme are to be avoided; movies which features chain saws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old folks homes are better.

Rule Nine:
Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a potbellied, balding, middle-aged, dimwitted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me.

Rule Ten:
Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a rice paddy near Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit your car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car - there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine.



britt

Britt, Congrats man, wlcome to the club

My daughter is my life and she cracks me up... When she gets in my truck(every morning) she yells "Diesel go speedy quick" with the same grin I have. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I hope you experience the same.

After reading T7's comments I am glad I have a son. I promise to try and teach him how to be a good date He is only two so I have time

I really love every minute I spend with him. Kids make it all worth while.
