Question to fathers of teenage daughters...

[Jakob]

It baffles me that we're the same age. I thought I was really immature and sh*t considering, but I guess not..?

 

 

dude he's just messing around, that's fug. chill the fug out.

 

as for the OP i would suggest getting the two to fight more often that way you can sneak down to the bar and have some free time for yourself. you will most definitely need it.

 

 

He's just annoying man. Only in it for the attention, doesn't make sense to me.

Lol, I'm sorry guys, I was wasted when I wrote that. I can remember giggling my ass off for like three minutes after I wrote that. sigh....

 

Sorry for the derailing the thread Mr. Scot.

Miracle of miracles, teenage daughter actually apologized to Mom.

 

 

 

Welp....that's it folks.

 

Break out the canned foods, and stock up on batteries.

Great to hear.

 

But, I will still give you the best advice on this topic that you will ever get.

 

Always (and I mean always) side with your wife in front of your childrean.  You need a unified front.  Then, in private try and have a rational discussion with your wife bringing up any rational arguements that the kids may have had.  Then, you both go back to the kids with a unified and well thought out conclusion.

We agreed right up front never to disagree in front of them.

 

Rational arguments with teenagers are a novel concept, eh? :lol:

Run #@$% RUN

[KendrickPanther]

No problem.

 

I have my own ideas, naturally.  Just fishing for perspectives from people who've been there.

 

Go fishing. That's a great idea. In Alaska.

I have a 16 year old daughter and agree, but I will sometimes talk with her a bit more on the side rationally as the 2 of them will get on each other's nerves at times. Of course, I like to think I have a special father/daughter relationship with her.

I'm a teenage girl and um like just give me money and I'll go to my friends and u and mom can like go do whatever stupid stuff u do and ummmm like totally

My best advice: Talk to the mom and see what she wants you to do. It may be she's looking for support, it may be she wants you to stay out of it altogether. If you ask how you can help, she gets what she needs from you. After it blows over, and depending on what the soon-to-be-wife has told you, take a moment and chat with the rugrat. Ask her what she was feeling during all of it - not what caused it, not what she was thinking, but how she felt during it. This way, you can help her avoid those feelings (and fighting) again, by reminding her later that her anger/upset only leads to more of the same unless she learns to deal with those emotions/hormones. If you start to notice her flare up again in the future, you can then ask what you can do to help, and she'll know you are caring for her and trying to help; not just trying to diffuse the argument to soothe nerves.

 

 

Just my two cents.
