That reminds me...

Lois: [grabs Peter's ..."zipper area" since ****** is a bad word...] THIS IS MINE. THIS IS WHERE MY BABIES COME FROM.

Wow, I've never seen people homicidally protective of their non-existent teenage daughters. You guys worry me.

well I can understand her problem but I will end up the type of dad that will be cleaning a shotgun everytime the boy friend comes over and theres all ways the "talk" "Son my baby girl means every thing in the world to me and if you do any thing to her well let's just say I have no problem going back to prison".

See dads start when they are teenagers watching their retarded friends try and date their sisters I've (sence joining the military) have come up with a million ways to make a guy **** himself if he ever tried to date my daughter.

I'll let my daughter date, but I'll play some terrible, terrible pranks on her boyfriend. It'll be great. *Evil Grin*

If he's really bored spending time with you, then he doesn't love you. He shouldn't be with you.

Hey im 15 and dating a 17 year old for the past 10 months now. And my parents kinda wont let him drive me anywhere, it makes me crazy. I feel bad for him, he could be out with a girl his age having fun at the movies or parties or w/e, but hes stuck with me, a lil 15 year old who cant go anywhere or do anything. I feel like hes bored...Help, give me advice! :(Kbalint04@aol.com

Parents will always worry. Good parents know what their child is mature enough to do and should allow them to do it. Trust is very important (and counts towards being considered mature) so breaking trust by telling your parents a lie that is easily discovered is a bad idea. just fyi.

My parents have never let me not date, and I agree with Euterpe, do not pull that trick. It is stupid, just respect his wishes.

Im kinda in the same situation. My mom and Dad dont want me to date but i do. They know about it but i never let them meet the guy. Sometimes I tell them the guy is only a good friend and we're just hanging out, when really we'e dating. I dont know why they wont like me. Im turning 16 soon and its stupid! they think that guys are all sex pigs and want to have sex with me and then dump me. But i know the guy i like isnt like that. Hes like my best friend. and hes neevr had a girlfriend so im not sure he would have the guts to try anything yet. Hes a sweetheart. He asked me out last night and i said yes. I tol dmy parents and they told me to say no but i went behind their backs. I dont know why i cant respect that they want to keep me safe but im just sick of it. I want to be able to date and know that they arent at home worrying.

-----"""Whatever you do, do NOT pull the "Well, I'll just date anyway and you won't find out""""---

LOL. Good advice, what a dumb manoever. I wouldn't let my 15 year old daughter date either. 16 is ok. There's a scene where Martin Lawrence meets his daughter's boyfriend when he comes to pick her up for a date in Bad Boys 2. It's hilarious.

Whatever you do, do NOT pull the "Well, I'll just date anyway and you won't find out" because that is just taking the guillotine to the trust between you. The last thing you want to do is lose your parent's trust.

Explain to him that while you respect his wishes, and understand he's only motivated by concern for you, you would really like the chance to date. If you try the "You don't trust me!" argument, you're likely to get "It's not you I don't trust, it's them" in return.

And although you have no intention of falling into a bad situation, a bad situation can always befall you. If he does concede to let you date, allow him to set a couple ground rules. Let him meet this guy, maybe stay in town on your date, bring your cell phone, etc.

If you show you're willing to compromise, you'll look much more mature and ready to handle dating in your father's eyes. Good luck.

Hmmm...well, he means well, right? Perhaps you should have the guy (gal? never know, don't want to assume.) you like over for dinner at your house, first. Then your father will have the chance to get to know your date, and maybe trust them--eventually. My lady-friend's family is still hesitant to let her come to my house...but I am a couple of years older than her, so I understand.

I think maybe when youre 16, you should talk to your dad and tell him stuff like 'you should trust me' and stuff. but also, dont break that trust, if you really plan not to. Because i know thats what most teens do. They can actually get a date, and then they break the parents trust. So I just think you should do some persuading and find a nice guy your dad would like.
