Also, build a box or two, put a chair on it and then go sit on it like you're a king. At minimum, it will confuse him, it may get your daughter to tell him that today's not a good day because something is wrong with dad. Confusion is good.
Hey 19 - Random Thoughts: In the year 2525...more or less

- Start date
So he hasn't ask you yet his intentions to marry your daughter. Didn't know if it is still a thing to ask the father for approval/blessing prior to asking her if she will marry him.
You are supposed to ask permission? No wonder my father in law dislikes me. You think he would get over it since its been 20+ years.
I think it is a lot less common now. I have some friends who are women who thought it was nice/would be nice and have others who don’t really care for that tradition.
I didn’t ask my fiancée’s dad for approval/blessing or give him a head’s up first, but we’re in our thirties so it felt different. I don’t know what I would have done if we had been in our early/mid twenties
Not yet. But I was told that he's planning to. That's why I'm scared for Easter Weekend. If he tries to corner me when my daughter's not around, I'll probably run the other direction. Unless he has decent bourbon.
My MIL was a devote catholic in rural Iowa. So I asked prior both parents for approval. The one thing she didn't approve was I was already living in an apartment in Ames and my wife's lease was up so we were being practical/financial sensible about it. We decided to live together 3 months prior to getting married. Her mom went on about us "living in sin".
Thanks but we've got plenty of neighbors that can hillbilly up our neighborhood. I think I told you all about the cow coming for the upcoming graduation party.
I hope you shut her up with the, "Now you are worried about us living in sin? Hell, Mom, we have been ******* like rabbits for years."
No, that was just on the fly. If I thought it out it would have been much better.
And probably would be illegal in 47 states...
I should move to one of those other 3 states.
If she only knew what happened in her house on our first date, she'd roll over in her grave!
Still time to surprise implement Naked Saturday's to scare him away.
Let’s go thong Saturdays instead. Ain’t no one wanting naked Saturdays around JC.
That's been implemented since we're empty nesters. We can make it public.
#4 granddaughter just got engaged last month. Wedding in May 2026. She's 9 years younger than oldest granddaughter. Geeesh, I'm old. :*
PM me the name and addy of this poor schlub, and I'll make sure he gets a good bottle of bourbon before next weekend.
