View Full Version : Overreaction on my part?

My daughter (9th grade in one week) has her friend Beth up from Virginia all week. They've been friends forever, next door neighbors and all that. So today, Shelby, Beth and her friend Emily all ride bikes down to the school to hang out with friends. Boys and girls. Shelby calls 2 hours later and says that Emily's Mom came and got her and I'll need to pick up the odd bike. A half an hour later I go to the school and no one is there. This is not cool..... I think...Hmmmm they're probably over at Marks house right up the road, he has a trampoline and a pool in his backyard. I go over there and they're all over there but no one told me beforehand, thus I had to search, this annoys the piss out of me, so I stop my truck, get out. look at this Mark kid and growl "Where is Shelby" The boys, (from my soccer team) all say hi I growl at them too. Then I grab her bike and launch it into the back of my truck followed by the other one. Shelby was in the bathroom, and Beth was fine. I scared the crap out of some boys, acted like an asshole and I'm cool with that. Shelby had indeed left me a message while I was on the net for 10 minutes that she would be there, but I still didn't really care. The boys need to be very afraid. :bash:

Personally I think maybe you should apologize to her for not trusting her if she in fact did the right thing. Don't apologize for scaring the crap out of the boys though. Teens start getting wierd at that age and trust can be fragile. Don't want to sour a good relationship. They're hard to get back.

LOL. I neverr though I'd have a chance to see the flip side of the parental coin. Especially after sometihng like that. Imho, no you didn't overreact, simply because you didn't know there was a change in plans. At one point in time doing something like that would get my a$$ plenty of time to get "acquainted' with solitary confinement in the hole which was my room. Seeing as how they did call, shows some level of maturity, however the follow through isn't all there. As they took off without final confirmation from you. As far as the boys go, that was a good show of force. You probably scared the living shyte out of them and dissapated any dubious intententions they may have had. A mad dad is always a good deterrent, and if she ever did date one of them they'll think twice about giving you some BS story about how they walk little old ladies across the street or are members of the glee clubp-) . They will respect you, and her too.

When my sister was in her teens, my parents had one hell of a time keeping up to her 'becoming-of-age'-thing that was going on. She gave the whole family a real headache with all the sht she was pulling off.
Now, ten years later, our almighty Lo(l)rd has blessed her with two girls to watch over herself.
Sweet, sweet justice ;)

well its not like I know how to educate children
but id say that the best way is to try to tell your daughter
to be careful - because even if the guys are scared because of you they will propably still try to get your daughter (at least I would if I were them ;) )- so its up to her to choose the right guy for her - but I guess its never wrong to scare the boys a little bit so they think twice about touching your daughter (especially against her will)

Nice, as a teen myself I can tell you that you did indeed scare the **** out of these kids. Also I can tell you that this boys probably had intentions to bed these girls in some form or fashion. I know in my town kids are becoming more and more ******ly active at a younger and younger age. Teachers are busting kids recieving head in the bathroom at school. These kids have been as young as 7th graders. Last year there was an 8th grader at a local middle school that got pregnant...twice.
I don't mean to worry you, it is just that I am trying to tell you that it IS afterall natural for these things to happen and you should let your daughter experience these things on her own. However she should trust you enough that if she has a problem with pressure or if something went wrong that she can talk to you. Ironically, she may not talk to you about it because she may be afraid you would beat the ever living piss out of these kids. Now, I think I may have digressed a bit so now I will answer your question.
I do not think you overreacted, kids have no respect for authority these days so any chance you can flex your disciplinary muscle should be a chance you grab by the balls. I do however think you should appologize to your daughter about flipping out like that. A real man, and someone who can be really respected is one who can admit their mistakes and strive to correct them.

I know there were times when i was like 16 or 17 when i would go out to a movie or whatever, where i would call my parents and leave a message telling them i would be home late... When i got home late they would throw a royal fit telling me i shouldnt be home so late...then when i told them i left a message, they always shut up... because they were thankful i had the courtesy of telling them where i would be and why i was comming home late...
Trust your kids until you dont have a reason to...
As long as shes calling you and telling you where she is, then you should trust her... because once you stop trusting her, she wont have any reason to be trustworthy anymore...shell figure if shes gonna get yelled at even when she leaves you a message telling you where shell be, then why even bother, just sneak out...
Sweaty
08-21-2006, 11:07 PM
I personally think you did the right thing. She was probably a lil embarassed, but it was nothing too extreme.
The only reason you should really worry is if your daughter is, well....hot. Parents always their kids are beautiful and that crap, but seriously, if you were a boy her age and were unrelated, would you find her attractive.
It's been my experience that the hot ones always go astray....why, oh why, I don't know!

It is my job to be a parent to my daughters and look out for their best interests. Keep up the good work Cali! You've got to show these kids the Dad side once in a while to keep them in line.

Well, you showed your daughter (and everyone else present) that you care a great deal for her. Regardless of the fact it was a miscommunication, all present (especially the boys) now have a pretty good idea of what will happen if you cross the father.
A little display of controlled anger/aggression goes a long way when communicating with hormonely challenged adolescents.
There's plenty of parents out there who just don't give a ****. You've proved you aren't in the same league. Well done.

Sounds like you and your daughter are pretty tight.
And it's pretty clear now to the local teenaged male mongrels that you're switched on.
Parents have diplomatic immunity when it comes to looking after their kids.
"Fire, Ready, Aim." I say
So I'd say you're sweet.
Maybe consider following up 6 months before high school formal/prom time with something like:
"If my daughter ever cries, my friends Mister Shovel and Mister Bag O'
Lime and me are going to be paying all you b!tches a visit at O dark hundred. Moohoohaa! Moohooohaaahaaaa! Mooohooohaaahaahaaahaaahaa!"
Then drive away

I feel I´m transforming to... from the "cool" younger dad to a grumpy bastard with hate in his eyes.

Well Said Ngati..Agree 100%..I have Two Daughters,one's only a baby and my eldest kid is nine....and already boys and crushes rear their ugly head during meal time....pity the Mobile Phones don't work,cause we got my Daughter one..
You Didn't over react at all..think any one here with kids would have done the same.and trust me when my kid starts bringing Boys home,they'll be getting the Talk....
My Wife and I do voluntary work with a youth club(14-16 yr olds)..we brought them away on an Adventure weekend a few months ago.(rock Climbing/absailing/Archery/Kayaking)..the first night we got no sleep(My Wife and I were in Seperate Rooms Btw) as we and the other leaders/Adults had to do hall monitors to stop the boys going into the girls rooms..by the second night they were to tired to do anything but sleep..I made sure of that:)
I thought your daughter was much younger CJ. 9th grade like in 15 or 16? You better scare those boys. Horny little bastards - the lot of them. 16 year old boys have even less brains then the older ones, because their ***** just finished the process to replace their brain. And so the boys can't balance it well. Girls = bodies and prey.
I was one horny bastard for sure. On the other hand i went to bars and pubs and got drunk in the city with 15/16 due to our legal drinking age. Me and my brother gave my mother hell more then once for not returning in time, speak 05:00 or 06:00 in the morning instead of 0:00 or 01:00. And i know that my mother was glad she didn't have a daughter that age.
Then again you should be glad, they're a house few next to yours jumping on a trampoline and not on the piss in the city (if there is any).

And you showed to these boys that a father does care about his daughter and that you still keep the oldfashioned, but nevertheless excellent, perception every parent must have.

No way dude.
I do wish to live to see my next birthday.
You need to stick to the good old rules. Thank God I don't have "date aged" daughters, but my nieces are getting to that age. Time to polish the shovel and dig up the back yard...
Rules of dating Cali Joe's daughter:
Rule One:
If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up.
Rule Two:
You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them.
Rule Three:
I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose his compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact, come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist.
Rule Four:
I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, *** without utilizing a "barrier method" of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate, when it comes to ***, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.
Rule Five:
It is usually understood that in order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is "early."
Rule Six:
I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry.
Rule Seven:
As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process that can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car?
Rule Eight:
The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool. Places where there are no parents, policemen, or nuns within eyesight. Places where there is darkness. Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness. Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka - zipped up to her throat. Movies with a strong romantic or ****** theme are to be avoided; movies which features chain saws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old folks homes are better.
Rule Nine:
Do not lie to me. On issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me.
Rule Ten:
Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a rice paddy near Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit your car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car - there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine.

Hey CJ, there is no such thing as overracting when it comes to a guy's daughter. Now, when one of the little pukes even considers touching her 'gina, he'll have that memory of fire shooting out of your eyeballs, to keep him warm at night. So, basically, you were in the right.

Now I'm going to go take them to a museum, then the library to pick out a book and look at the artwork in the athenaeum. Then ice cream on the way home. I really am too.

Well I set myself up for that one. Thanks pal. I'll work on it. I'd venture to say I spend a great deal of time with my kids. Probably the only great benefit of working from home. Sometimes when it looks like I'm here. I'm really not. Don't tell anyone.
Now I'm going to go take them to a museum, then the library to pick out a book and look at the artwork in the athenaeum. Then ice cream on the way home. I really am too.
You're a good dad and a good guy CJ.:)
i will have the same reaction as you when my daughter gets to that age and i didnt read past the first page so shoot me..or ied me or whatever your prefered method is

The constant fear Greek father have is their boy not to turn out to wear high-hill shoes or date with other boys. In other words, homo******s.
That's what I mean by "different".

Really? I thought that was the fear for their daughters. Things sure have changed alot since Sophocles and Aristotle.

The constant fear Greek fathers and mothers have for their girls is not to turn out to be "putanes", metaphorically "whores".
And in the countryside is even worse. Some families (fortunately very few) want their daughters to remain virgins till they get married. Religion sometimes is backwards.

Well, I wouldn't either my daughter get laid with whatever boy she finds (especially during summer...), but I cannot force her to remain virgin till she gets married.

Cali Joe, my uncle's two daughters are about coming to be same age as yours and he prays each night that chastity belts will be back in style when the time comes. You didn't overreact, you just put a bit of fear in the contenders which isn't bad.

Yeh you also live in Quebec.
Quebec guys are dirty bastards. That's why there are so many nunneries still in PQ.

Actually my uncle's an RCMP constable in PEI. I do resent the epithet apposed to "Quebec guys" as it is quite unexact but being an Islander, I can't say I'm concerned by it.

I don’t think you over reacted.... just recently my Dad has had an epiphany that I need to have 2 cell phones one in the car when I take it out (actually his car) and one with me all the time. lol
Just make sure you don’t embarrass her in front of her friends, and try not to lose your temper in front of her guy friends especially because you don’t want to sound like a guy whose unapproachable!
I don’t know just my thoughts.. looking back at how my parents raised me, (they’ve never said anything to me in front of my friends or other people) they wait till I get home and then tell me what I did was not proper…
