Kids, Transportation and First Dates: I'll make my own way

I'll make my own way

By Anonymous - 02/03/2022 05:00 - United Kingdom - Preston

Today, my daughter is too crafty for her own good: she found out I was planning on driving her to her first date to meet a boy, so she let the air out of my car tyres, removed my bike chain, and even stole my bus pass. I taught her well. Well played daughter, well played. FML

Don't be a dingdong

Today, my daughter's boyfriend came to the house to pick her up. As a responsible father, I had an evil plan to torture the boy who dares date my girl, but my wife preempted my plan so during his short visit, she stood behind me the whole time with her taser down my buttcrack in case I acted up.

Today, I woke up to find my 6-year-old daughter had duct taped me to my bed and dropped my wallet down the toilet. Well played. FML

Today, I followed my daughter and found out she wasn’t with friends, she was on a date. I confronted her about the lie, but she takes after her mother, a lawyer, and steamrollered over me about invading her privacy, so even though she lied, she somehow has the moral high ground. FML

Pants on fire

Today, while going through my daughter’s room, I found a pair of pants with the security tag still attached. My daughter is a thief. FML

Today, I found out that my daughter has been stuffing my push-up bras and lipstick into her backpack, putting them on at school, and taking them off before she gets home. She's 9. The only reason I found out is because her teacher reported me to social services. FML

Today, my daughter somehow got a hold of the lighter we keep on top of the fridge. I found this out when she snuck up behind me and thought it would be fun to set my hair on fire. FML

Evil child

By Anonymous - 23/01/2022 02:01

Today, after my stepdaughter warned me that she’d get rid of me, she's finally successfully driven such a large wedge between me and my wife that we haven’t spoken in a month, and today she asked me for a divorce. Well played, stepdaughter, well played. FML

Responsibilities

By Anonymous - 18/12/2021 02:01

Today, my daughter got upset because, even though I bought the car for her when she got her license, I told her it was her responsibility to pay the tax, insurance and MOT every year. End result, my daughter is a selfish brat and I returned the car, but lost a bunch of my deposit money. FML

I'd say she's perfectly as crafty as she needs to be for her own good, especially if that means keeping your invasive ass out of her private affairs and love life.

Why would you take her to a date if she didn’t ask you?

One tire, I'll understand. All four, pointless. Also, the bike chain? Was it a bicycle built for two? Bus pass was a nice touch though.

You can just seat the passenger on the luggage rack of a bike. You can see it everywhere in the Netherlands. Daughter was in all likelihood correct to assume OP would demand to do that to take her to her date.

and this non parenting parenting style is the exact reason we have so many entitled little douchebags running around. you don't get private affairs till you can work and pay your own way. sorry not sorry

I swear, it’s always these dads who don’t know how to mind their own business 🙄 leave your daughter and her private life alone ..

a. if you're that protective, have the boy pick her up to me you. b. for all those things she did, she should be grounded.. c. is she such a bad kid that you can't give her some space?

Response to this depends entirely on the age of the daughter. Under a certain age and it’s certainly reasonable to meet the people (boy/girl/purple) that your children are hanging out with. Over that age a polite request to meet them and then back off. At some point kids have to grow up but it is our job as parents to help them.

the rule in our house was that for any 1st date, the boy would start with dinner with us. then they can go off to a movie or putt putt or whatever. and to cut off one line of thinking, I never threatened the boys with shooting them in fact I promised I would never do something so quick and painless.
