Kind of an offshoot of the Dad's thread...just told this story in the RTT and thought a separate thread where us dads of girls can share our tales of woe... My daughter just turned 10, part of her weekly homework is to read a certain amount of minutes per week. The other night she asked if she could do her read time in my bedroom with me while I was drinking beers & playing Madden. I said sure and continued with my game, after a couple minutes the following exchange occurred; K: Daddy, what does B-R-E-A-S-T spell? Me: Breast K: What is that? Me: Your Boobies K: hehehehe Boobies heheheheh K: What does A-R-E-O-L-A spell? Me: Sweet Christmas!! what in the hell are you reading? She proceeded to show me that she's reading her puberty book "Your body & You"...or something along those lines. She then proceeded to read aloud about the different stages of breast development and wanted my opinion on what stage I thought she was in. I don't want to shame her about her development or her reading...so I told her that she should take that stuff to mom...and spent the rest of the night quivering
Not sure I could ever use the word "boobies" in a conversation with my daughter, but yeah, that's an awkward situation.
Like I said it the RTT it's nice to not have to worry about that type of deal because my daughter is going to stay little and sweet and innocent forever
I think she knows some of their songs but she mostly listens to stuff like Queen, Passion Pit, Vampire Weekend, and Katy Perry
But seriously, my daughter knows not to ask me any shit like that. I'll take the twig and berry questions... Mom can answer the rest
What I really want to know is did you keep playing your game, pause your game, or turn the machine off to have a talk? Celemo
I'm playing a season of Madden '95 on an old plug-n-play so I kept playing until I asked what book she was reading. After she showed me, I un-paused and just tried to get through the game as she asked me her questions
my daughter turns 13 in a couple months. She has a mix of friends. I do not approve of the direction some of them are headed.
Daughters aged 3 & 6 here. I've been nervous as hell for 6.75 years, and it won't end for another 20.
Two sons over here. Even if they end up being power bottoms it will be less stressful than raising daughters.
well unlucky for them power bottoms run in their family specifically on their fathers side of the family more specifically their father
"Papa, I was 'mirin a nice older man on Tinder (don't worry, he didn't post any mirror selfies- just pics of him showing off his guns in a tanktop on a quad)... He asked me for his number so I gave it to him! We are going to hang out Friday night, I hope you don't mind. PS: What does :D ------ ()=========8 mean?!?"
He had a meltdown on people w/o kids because they were playing the game of life with half of it on lock.
