Things I'm happy about today

This could go in here, or the mad thread 🤣, cause my kids ain't allowed to have boyfriends! My daughter brought her boyfriend with her, they've been dating for near two years now. I've spoken to him, but this is our first time meeting him. He's super respectful, and she's said nothing but good things about him. Example, and you may calle old fashioned, but it's just how we are: he had no issue with me asking them to sleep separate while here, because they're not married yet (I get that from my dad🤣). That's not what got me though, I had talked to them last night, and was straight with him. I had a little on the phone, but this was in person. Told him I'd love him like a son, and all I ask is him to love my daughter. That he'd never have an issue with me, as long as he never hurt her, physically. I could tell in 5 minutes he wasn't that type though. He had 4 sisters, and said they could beat him, but he wasn't allowed to hit them back 🤣. His parents taught him not to hit women, just a pet peeve for me. Anyway, my daughter was outside with her sisters, and he told me he wanted to talk. He pulled out a beautiful engagement ring, and told me and Tiffany he wanted to talk to us before he asked her. He's also going to tell his parents first, but that just meant a lot. Young man has jumped to help since he walked in the door yesterday. Trying to clean off the table for breakfast, helping me carry out trash, or groceries in last night. May be silly to you guys, but his whole character has impressed me. Most importantly, as he was talking about marrying her, he cried, and said he loves her more than anything. As a dad, I feel like she's going to be in good hands, and that makes me happy. She's going to be surprised when he asks her.



* I did tell them both I would not acknowledge him as a boyfriend until she's 30🤣.

Most importantly, where does his football allegiance lie?

Congrats on the SIL (to be)!

Don't feel right joking about any of that. Right now anyway. Good for you Joe. I mean, you have 3 daughters and knew this was gonna happen sooner or later.

She's in the military, seems to have a decent boyfriend that's respectful (in 2021 that says something) and it seems you like him. Not sure you could ask for much more.

Congrats to her. And you and Tiffany deserve a pat on the back too.

For me the best part is he ain't a stankin gator. Anything but that. And I'm not joking.
