The dads didn't care what the sons did as long as no one got pregnant, an STD or turned out gay.

Now I love this post!
Before I was married, I could really give a rip; probably never even thought about it. Then I got married and it was my way or highway baby; ha, ha, Ya right? But the ONE single thing that changed me forever was when I became a father.
I wanted the best for my kids; all 5 of them. I also taught my kids by example and never said to them "do as I say and not as I do". They have seen how a real man treats a women all their lives!
As a result, my 4 daughters don't mess around with guys that much; they know how a man is suppose to treat a women, and if they don't they pass on them. My olderst daughter didn't date much and she married a guy that adored her. They live a simple life but cherish their time together and they are very happy. What more could a dad want?
My 18yo, 17yo and 15yo haven't dated. They understand the benefit of finding a man that respects them; when that comes along it's gonna be some guys lucky day. As for my son, he respects people very well, especially women.
My oldest daughter shacked up with her guy for a year before getting married, I guess she knew that I'd done the same? That was a tough year for dad, but now years later it's all good.
Think about if you had daughters, how would you want them to be treated? Marry winners girls; and here's what the difference between a winner and a loser are....................... been teaching them that all their lives!
