I went to Barnes and Nobel on Fathers Day yesterday and came across this book entitled "Baby Girl Owners Manual" They had the baby Boy version of the book as well. I find that book essential for new dads like myself. Has anyone read that book?

Re: Baby Girl Owners Manual
I think I saw that book too. I think the chapter on how to deal with her teenage years was informative and well illustrated. This was my fav picture:Originally posted by ChubbyhubbyI went to Barnes and Nobel on Fathers Day yesterday and came across this book entitled "Baby Girl Owners Manual" They had the baby Boy version of the book as well.

Shit, thank God that i dont have that...Originally posted by packinpatlandOne of our secrets to raising teenage daughters was having a gravel driveway. No one came in or out with making noise.
The other was having an alarm clock, set at their curfew time, they had to be there to turn it off. It worked!

That's a great idea. My daughter is only 3 weeks old so hopefully I will remember that is 15 years.Originally posted by packinpatlandThe other was having an alarm clock, set at their curfew time, they had to be there to turn it off. It worked!

My older daughter's high school years were more of a challenge for me as a father.Originally posted by GrnBay007HAA! Wait till Jr. High!! DRAAAAMAAAAAAOriginally posted by Cheesehead CraigI have a 4 year old girl. No book in the world is helping me at this age.
I nearly hit the roof when I found out at 15 she was going out with an 18 year old. When I ended that relationship, she accused me of "Scaring off the boys."
"No" I responded. "I'm just scaring off potential statutory rapists."

You were able to do this without the gravel driveway?
Seriously, I bet she looks back and says (maybe not out loud) 'thank you'.

eh, it depends. Was your daughter going to a large school? Alot of girls in my grade that are 15 are going out with juniors and seniors. The nice thing is that i go to a small private school so basically everyone knows each other including the parents.Originally posted by oregonpackfanMy older daughter's high school years were more of a challenge for me as a father.Originally posted by GrnBay007HAA!

Knowing the parents doesn't always mean it's a good thing. Apples sometimes do fall far from the tree.Originally posted by Charles Woodsoneh, it depends. Was your daughter going to a large school?
