Baby Girl Owners Manual

One of our secrets to raising teenage daughters was having a gravel driveway. No one came in or out with making noise.

Oh Great!! Now I gotta move before she's in HS.

The biggest difference in keeping tabs on my oldest daughter and youngest is cell phones. If the youngest was late getting home, one quick phone call assured my everything was OK. That is alot better than waiting for them to get home to find out what is going on. Except for the time she was hiding from the cops and turned her phone off.

"Except for the time she was hiding from the cops and turned her phone off."

How long was she grounded???? Or is she still?

She did not get into any trouble with us. If the kids go to a party where alcohol is present, any kid that is caught gets a MIP citation, whether or not they were drinking. She wasn't drinking, she avoided trouble with the law, and got home safe. It was all good.

I have a 4 year old girl. No book in the world is helping me at this age.

HAA! Wait till Jr. High!! DRAAAAMAAAAAA

My older daughter's high school years were more of a challenge for me as a father.

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."

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.

The boy(man, as he was a legal adult) was in a large school of 1,800 from a neighboring suburban HS. That made it all the more worrisome for me.

So you are saying she was a fugitive?
