Hi all,
We were watching Jackass and laughing ourselves silly, in between wincing, and making sympathetic "Ooooh!" noises. If you've ever watched Jackass, you'll appreciate what I mean. If ever there was a case for ensuring non-procreation so you can't pass on an idiot gene, these guys would be right up there ;-)
Sure, these guys are fun to watch, but the stunts they pull are often just plain idiotic. They seem to relish hitting each other in the balls with various things, too. (Must be a man thing. So far as I know, women don't whack each other in the boobs with heavy objects for fun... and then film it.)
The image of Steve-O lying naked and spreadeagled on the bonnet of a car, and going through the carwash, is forever seared on my retinas. Hot wax, anyone?
Hence the laughing combined with wincing. Not to mention covering your man parts if you're man, and thanking God you don't have man-parts if you're woman. That's usually followed by thanking God one of these idiots isn't your son-in-law.
And it was that vein of thought that led DH to turn to DD and say, "No way would I let you date any of these guys."
Which led to DH establishing some dating rules *VBG*
- No dating anyone named Jonno. Or Robbo. Or Jacko. Or any guy with a name ending with "O", come to think of it. Especially not "Steve-O". (If you've watched Jackass, you'll know why any guy who calls himself Steve-O would be a no-go zone. That guy takes Jackass to a whole new level!)
- No dating anyone named Chad. Or Chaz. Just because I don't much like those names.
- If you decide to become a lesbian, that's fine. But no way will I let you date Lady Gaga. That woman scares me.
- No dating guys who ride motorbikes.
- No dating guys with souped-up cars who make like boy-racers.
I gotta say, these rules are a work in progress. They seem to be added to frequently. Poor DD has no idea what she's in for.
So. What are your rules for your daughters' dating? Do you have any favorite "You have got to be kidding me!" no-go types?
Just curious....

So my daughter feels like she has some input, there are no hard and fast rules. But she has a good idea of what we will approve and what we won't and why. Also so that she won't feel pushed to rebel to those things we don't want for her. Each person will be judged on their own merit and a case by case basis.
Her boyfriend now is a goth like she is. But he's my good friend's son. So, I know what kind of home he comes from and how his mother parents.
My daughter has told me that because his mother and I are so close and how she's talked me up, he fears me more than her dad. That's just hilarious. :)
LOLOL! You are very scary of course, Saranna *rolls eyes*.
I only hope that DD is aware these rules are very tongue-in-cheek. Or at least, I hope they are! Otherwise I might have to step in an mediate when she gets a bit older *g*
I've got two boys, and all I know is that they'd better treat the ladies well, or else.
So there.
My DD has been so conservative in her (few) dating choices that she instills me with the urge to rough her guys up a little LOL. Backlash to the uber alpha father unit, I imagine. But there's hope. She's in art school LOL. With a dating pool like that, she's bound to shock me sooner or later.
Or not. ;)
Kaylea -- your boys will be awesome boyfriend material!
Liane -- OMG! Yep. She'll have a very interesting pool of guys to choose from. I see some gray hairs in your DH's future ;-)
