When my daughter brought her first date home, I made sure I was cleaning my Glock in the living room and said to him:

"Young man, please be kind to my daughter, because if you aren't, I don't mind going to prison again!..LOL!

I just sent these to two of my sons who have daughters. LOL!, I’m sure they will get a kick out of the rules......

What the World needs: Parents with original sayings....

I clicked on the thread because I wanted a chuckle.

It worked.

My daughter just turned 30. I was handing this out to her dates when she was in high school. I have a friend who had it blown up to "huge" on a wooden plaque and bolted it to the wall opposite the front door with a sign in sheet. Same guy who retired from special forces as an 05 and has a son who graduated a few years ago from West Point. Both are combat vets (now). LOL I feel sorry for this little girls "boyfriends!" Considering she is only about 11 at this time. She'll be lucky if she has a steady BF by the time she's a high school senior! It's not like she can't defend herself. They're dad/daughter activities included each of them getting black belts in Karate and then competing. Imagine being a retired special forces officer and then becoming a competitive black belt. LOL He was already sudden death in every direction!

If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package

Unless your name is Weiner, in which case, I will send you and your "package" straight to hell ...

Regarding the honking in the driveway thing - now it is much worse as all they do is pull into the driveway and text. you never know who your kids are hanging with.

Like

and be ready to die if daughter says.....

Daddy my new boyfriend an I have something in common....we’re both seniors !

He’s 56 and she’s 17...

That’s all well and good, but I never wanted to talk to them that long. I wanted them to wonder all night.

When the boy came in to meet me, and he did come in, and shook my hand, and he’d better shake my hand, I would look him directly in his eyes, and in my lowest, and calmest voice say “ Do you know what a Troy-Bilt Chipper Shredder is? Do anything inappropriate with, or to my daughter and I’ll use you to fertilize my garden. I’ll have great tomatoes next year, and no one will ever find you”.
My daughter, in later years, told me a lot of her dates never even tried to kiss her good night, unless she forced the issue, and she couldn’t figure out why. I finally confessed.

When my daughter was a HS freshman, she got asked to prom by a Band Beast whom she, also a band beast, was not too sure of. But she wanted to go to prom, so she asked me to be in the living room, CLEANING MY SHOTGUN, when he arrived for the pre-prom date.

I was. I didn’t know beady little eyes could get so large. :)

But we lied and told him it was a joke, it wasn’t.

However, it also worked. He was a perfect gentleman on that date and on prom night. Normally he was “Handy Andy”, as reported later by other girls. But NOT WITH MY DAUGHTER. :)

Now I have a “Serious Social Purposes” Shotgun that I will be cleaning, God Wiling, when some boys comes to pick up my granddaughters, in 9 to 11 years. If not, my son in law can be cleaning it instead.

Maybe we both should be cleaning guns, when the guys come to pick up the twins? :) I could be cleaning my AR or the scoped G3? What do y’all think?

I could be cleaning my AR or the scoped G3? What do y’all think?

Any gun cleaning around a young, wide-eyed boy works real well, LOL!

"Uh, Sir, do you shoot that gun often?"

Me: "Only when I have to son, only when I have to..."

What is a Band Beast?

This has been around for awhile. I edited it long ago to personalize it, and not only actually use it for guys dating one of my 3 daughters 26 - 34, but also use it on the boyfriends of my daughters girlfriends if my daughters girlfriends approve - they kinda like it!

This was wonderful. Thank you for posting it. HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL DADS!

Younger fathers could change the Vietnam references to the Gulf War or something more current.

Dated a fine Lebanese girl while attending university. Her MOM held a loaded gun to my head on more than one occasion and told me to “not make any mistakes”.

Thank you..but WE dont have a choice..once we know..

LOL

Thanks for the great thread.

Y’all are hilarious!

Even when I was dating in the early 1950s your rules would have made your daughter a spinster for life!

When it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.

Sorry, but boyfriends almost always trump dads. I did. When my wife was my 16 year-old girlfriend, I followed all of her dad's rules, when I was in front of him. But when I wasn't, look out!

I'm sure your daughter loves you, but she needs to learn how to be an adult. Caring for a boyfriend is part of that. Happy Father's Day!

“Caring for a boyfriend” = sex?

You sound just like my father!

(I’m now over 59 years old and have never been married. Here’s hoping you take the hint, old fart.)

“Ten Simple Rules for Dating my Daughter”

I have ten simple rules for dating your daughter, too, but I think you may not like them!

What is a Band Beast?

A band beast is just a member of the band. Some are of course more beastly than others. Some are downright wimpy. :)

This guy was pretty beastly .. until he saw that shotgun.

You’re kidding right? Either they came in to meet me (I don’t care if it’s a date or just a bunch of kids going bowling) or my child wasn’t going anywhere. That’s rude and disrespectful and I won’t put up with it. Besides, part of a parent’s job is to know who their kids are hanging out with.

Cindie

My dad was a detroit cop during the 30’s 40’s and retired in 1950. His service revolver was one big ass 6 shooter...My dates had to meet him, he was usually laying in bed reading a book and would conviently have this huge gun laying beside him on the bed....never had any problems with boys...He wouldn’t even look up for the book and just say have her home by 10 oclock....I always was...:O)

Well put! Think I’ll print off a few stacks of these in case the boxing trophies in my foyer don’t send a clear enough message :)

Too cute...just sent this to my son who has three daughters.
LOL

Actually, this sounds as much like my daughter as me. She pretty much lays the law down to her boyfriends. She’s been shooting since she was 8 and can beat up most boys that have gone out with her. She’s now 26 and I’m getting nervous that she may never get married. She doesn’t put up with any crap and usually dumps on them. Maybe I TAUGHT HER TOO WELL.

Thanks for the thread. I have only one daughter who’s 8 now, so I’ll need this contract in a few years.

That’s hilarious !!

Or you could say “ Never piss off someone with access to a pig farm. My best friend for years who owns one told me a bunch of pigs can eat a entire human, bones and all”

I grew up in the country. Once when I went of a date, I had to sit in a room with Dad and her THREE brothers all cleaning guns. I got the message. They were also all bigger than me.

I also remember when they would say “Have her home by 11:00” and I would say “I’ll try”.

Dad then said, “Don’t try son, have her home by 11:00. DON’T MAKE ME COME LOOKING FOR YOU!”

I married my high school sweetheart and we've been together 15 awesome years.

When he was 17 he bought a used green Holiday Inn van to get to school and to pick up horse feed. My dad absolutely refused to let him pick me up in that van so he sold it and got a rusted out truck instead.

It was a real lemon and it died in front of our house. He and dad actually worked on it together the entire weekend.

Dad also did the “cleaning the shotgun” routine one night but it just sparked a conversation about hunting and proper cleaning that lasted well past our movie start time. Mom cooked and we all watched a John Wayne movie.

I was pretty sure right then I was going to marry him.

I remember laughing my head off at this piece about ten years ago. My daughter was only three back then....

For some strange reason, this piece now looks more like an operations manual to me, than humor.

(just kidding - sort of. I still laughed, but I think just like this now)

I always liked the sequence from Uncle Buck when John Candy explains to his niece’s boyfriend about the hatchet,the shovel, and the bag of lime in the trunk of the car.

A senior invited my daughter to prom when she was in 10th grade. He was very sure of himself when he came to pick her up.Tried chatting with him, acted a bit too cocky for my tastes. She told me on the way out of our property, he observed a big pile of dirt in the woods and remarked if we were building a house or something. She told him, no- that's Dad's personal gun range.
They were home early...

Once when I went of a date, I had to sit in a room with Dad and her THREE brothers all cleaning guns. I got the message.

Well, my father in law was a gun guy too. But I don't believe he kept any in the house, they were at his parents farm. In any event, although my wife and I dated a couple of times in high school, I never met him until the summer before college, and at that point the family lived a few thousand miles away. However HE is the one who turned me to the "Dark Side".

Until I started shooting with him all I had was a shotgun, a 20 gauge at that, and a .22 rifle and I'd gotten that because I was tired of buying .22 shorts for HIS father's Browning .22, which I would shoot when I went to the farm. (As an aside, those were the days when you had to show picture ID and sign a log. That PO'd me, so I'd use my military ID instead of a DL)

After I started shooting with my FiL, I got a .22 handgun (S&W 422).. then traded in the 20ga for a 12... Followed by 3 centerfire handguns, another .22 handgun, and 4 centerfire rifles. All are semiautos, except the 12 ga, which is a pump and was the gun I was cleaning when the Beast came to pick up my daughter. :)

Why did Grandpa only have a .22 short rifle? The way he shot, it was all he needed to take care of most any pest, including squirrels way up in the walnut trees, and racoons in the garden. He, and his son (my FiL), and both grandsons (and one great grandson that I know of) were/are deadly accurate shooters. Grandpa would shoot walnuts out of the air. I miss him still.

I read in a science fiction book by an author whom I will not disclose unless asked to, the daughter sent a topless picture of herself to her boyfriend of the same age. When the mom found out she was outraged and showed it to the father who shrugged it off. The fathers response was to have the mother how to talk with her daughter about safe sex and to use a condom. I could not believe the author wrote that and I stopped reading it. If I were the father, that phone (as well as the boyfriends) would go in the fire and I would drive to the phone carrier and “convince” them to remove it from the Internet.

Regarding the honking in the driveway thing - now it is much worse as all they do is pull into the driveway and text. you never know who your kids are hanging with.

Technology cuts two ways, though. These days I might offer to loan the kids my vehicle. You know the one with ON-STAR? The one where the ON-STAR folks can tell you the exact location and the speed it's being driven and oh yeah, the ability to kill the motor and lock all the doors so the occupants cannot leave?

"Hello, ONSTAR? Where are they? Oh, they're at the beach when they're supposed to be studying at the library? And the engine is currently running right now? Yeah, just kill that engine and lock the doors. I'll be right there."

It's the end of the school year 2013 and I was just going over life with a teenage daughter with my 8th grade students who're almost high school students now. I wanted to show them the 10 rules for dating that I gave to my daughter when she was in high school but everywhere I surfed it was blocked by the school servers. But I knew FR wasn't and I remembered having posted to this thread, so here it is and it's a good one even years later. Thanks for another lightening of my day....

Thanks for the oldie but goodie. Reminds me of a time I went to pick up a girl for a date. Her Dad was cleaning his rifle in the living room, and I told him I didn’t know that particular model came chambered in that caliber. Turned out he’d had it made that way.

He really liked me, which was the kiss of death as far as the girl was concerned.

He really liked me, which was the kiss of death as far as the girl was concerned.

Yeah, most dad's really loved me and nearly all moms hated me because they saw me (correctly) as the man they'd always warned their daughters to be careful of -- but didn't quite know how to articulate that feeling without causing undying alienation.

That's why I'm sooooooo certain that God has a sense of humor, because he gave me a DAUGHTER that is a stone cold, drop dead knockout in the looks department. Brains too. So my nightmare that was her high school years was pretty horrific. I lived in dread of the young man who would one day knock at our door and who would remind me.... of....ME.
