Dad fuck up of the morning...yesterday Laura let me know that our youngest started wearing deodorant to school. Me being clueless, made a comment this morning asking if she was wearing deodorant and then said good when she replied yes...30 minutes of tears ensued as she's conscious of smelling in class. Spent those 30 minutes trying to ensure her that she didn't smell and that it was all a joke about how she's just growing up and dad's are generally clueless.

Just an fyi for the next dad in line...

Hahahahahahaha - I may have dome something similar last your. But with your child......

[Matt]

I do this almost daily.

I walked downstairs to two never before seen 12 year old boys with my daughter. They walked downstairs to her room. I looked at Katie and my 14 year old on the couch and asked who r these dudes? Imogene said deadpan without looking up… Caroline’s a slut now.

Honestly, I can’t be bothered. Back to the crossword.

@Matt

I’m pretty old school. I have two stepdaughters, 17 and 18, and my bio girls who live in Florida with their mom are 13 and 18, so fortunately they don’t have to listen to my rules.

No boys allowed in bedrooms or upstairs, and no boys in the house when we’re not home. One of our couple friends has kids around the same age and asked, “Why do you do that? You know they’re gonna mess around anyway.”

I said, “Yeah, but I can at least make them work for it like I had to…”

[Matt]

Pretty lucky to have good kids. My only rules are get good grades and don’t get pregnant. Short of that they can join a gang for all I care.

A quick trip down to Florida to see my daughter graduate high school on Monday. One of my stepdaughters graduated also on Monday here in Atlanta. Georgia and Florida never do anything on the same schedule except for this one thing

Oh well… three down, two more to go. One more next year, then a four year break until the final grad.

Both my children’s birthdays this past week so have a party for them with 35 kids invited today, wish me luck! Party admin until then

[tody]

@AdamC are you sure you're going to survive this?

[AdamC]

@tody 50/50, that’s why I posted, if you don’t hear from me again, it was the party

[Tago Mago]

@AdamC it’s been nice to know you

If you ever want to hide something from your kids, put it in the dishwasher…

They will never find it.

[Brian]

@goosehd or laundry basket

[goosehd]

@Brian so very true

[Giles]

To hide anything from Paula, I put it in the shed, or better still the tool drawer in the shed......

[goosehd]

@Giles just burst out laughing

[Matt]

If you ever want laundry filled with a thousand pieces of Kleenex just ask them to make sure they empty their pockets before putting their clothes in the laundry.

[Giles]

You talking about Paula?
