Loved your post, Kelly. It was too funny! LOL! It's nice that your husband is coming for a visit, and moreso that he remembers the address. What you could do is tackle your daughter's boyfriend with electric shaver in hand...he's prbably respect that more than the shotgun, anyway, if his locks were in danger of extinction. My kid were around 15 when they were allowed to date. My mother finally decided to let me date when I was 16, but I had already been dating since I was 13. Innocent stuff...movies, surfing, rollerskating, dances, etc. I opt for locking the kids in the basement, and telling the parents they forgot to bring them...Then, when they are ready to leave, just produce the kids and pretend they were there all along. |

Nani, LOL @ remembering the address, thing is I pick him up from the airport so he doesn't have to remember it. I was about 15 when I was allowed to 'car date', movies and stuff. Her curfew is 10:00.  |

LOL...well, he has no excuse then since you hold him hostage from the time he goes through security and the pat downs until he leaves. My mom and dad separated when I was almost 13, so she took advantage of her new found freedom and got herself a life. So I had no curfew...my sis and I figured hog tying her would just result in one of her lectures so we let her go and raised ourselves. She didn't know 99 percent of what we were doing. She didn't try to impose a curfew on me until I was 18, and by then it was too late. I was locked into my own life. When she finally allowed us to date, she demanded that my sis chaperone me, or I chaperone my sis...and 3 is a crowd. She never knew we would nod our heads in assent then do what we felt best, anyway. When her and my dad finally got back together, briefly, they both had their own agenda. Sometimes no parenting is better than what transpires with some parents. We came out okay. |

10:00 is a reasonable curfew. I gave my kids a 10:00 curfew on weekdays (with homework done) and 11:00 on weekends. Midnight in special cases. |

My daughter has a friend whose parents are so strict that sometimes I think they're trying to purposely drive her over to the dark side. She is a good kid, has 4.0...they've moved to Florida last year and her mom told me the daughter has changed so much since the move, she started listening to country music! The horror! I was like what's wrong with country music?? I mean, that's better than hip hop, right? Because the girl didn't want to go to church two days in a row her mom cried and called her a heathen. I think her parents are writing an instruction manual on how to make your daughter rebel. |

Beiber Hair? Yuck!! I second your disgust. My daughter is 12, so I have a few years yet for the dreaded car date. Enjoy your husband's visit. And entertaining kids?? Don't you have a PS3 or some other technological crap that job can go to.. lol? Otherwise, you'll have to do it the old fashioned way, turn them outside and lock the door till mealtime!  |

snookums, these kids are allegic to the outside. I have an old fashioned wii with about 3 games, not the advance stuff they're use to. But maybe they can bring they're own games?? I'll have to ask. They like my ipad, but I hate letting them play with it, I'm selfish like that. |

Jeez Nani, sounds like your parents were writing their own manual on how to make your daughter rebel. I'm going by how my parents treated me, trust until you do something untrustworthy. My parents were pretty lax, they even let me go to Florida my senior year with friends. THAT I will draw the line at! |

Hiya, Kelly!  I think 2200 is a reasonable curfew. Don't cut the boy any slack, either. It's what they're not sure of that scares them.  Good to read you, lady. Write on.....  |

I wanna see pics of previous pinata's please ...  For staring into the space between the keys on your keyboard .. you came up with some hilarious stuff here Kelly !!! Best of luck to ya on your daughters date. I remember my daughters at 15, and I was literally glued to the peep-hole in the front door as they left, and when they returned. I felt like a stalker. Just remember, you taught her right .. and the rest has to be up to her. Just don't spit that tabacie on his Bieber sneekers ... LOL For the kiddo's, gosh if they were a bit closer in age it would be easier but .. but .. but, I got nothing ...  |

How about a post about the words of wisdom for the Class of 2013? 15 is too young. I'm all for group dating starting at 16. One on one brings on too many problem possibilities...  |

Ask SmoknJoe how to entertain kids. They love him. I know when his cousin's kids go to their granny's jouse, he hides candy for them everywhere. And I mean EVERYWHERE!! He will stick candy behind nick knacks, on top of picture frames, in fake flowers, on top of the curtains, and so many other places. They really enjoy the hunt. They usually never find it all either. He'll go back after they left and pull a few pieces out of places they didn't think of looking. It being warm weather a slip n slide could occupy them. Got a nice big tree in your yard? Make a tire swing. Most tire places will just give you a used tire that has no wire showing. I got one for my son that way, it was a nice brand name tire too, a nail punctured the side wall of it and couldn't be repaired, they just gave it to me cause it saved them money. Every tire they have to get rid of, they get charged for, so normally they will just give them away.A nice big truck tire or tractor tire for that matter can hold a few kids.  |

LOL Ginger, after I told him that he laughed. I guess he thought I was joking. I'll be at the peephole I can assure you. Luckily I just had new lighting installed on the outside of the house. My house is so bright you can probably see us on google earth, so you can bet all the lights will be on. |

Paula, as the time draws nearer I'm beginning to agree that 15 is to young! You'd have to know Madison to realize that she is trustworthy. Frankly I'm surprised at this. In my experience kids don't seem to really date any more. |

Adora, unfortunately it's going to be cool this weekend. We have an association pool and I had planned on using that as entertainment, but it's going to be to cold for that. |

take them fishing, cookout at the fishing hole awesome, if they don't like that sit down and make a family book, have everyone write things down of funny moments or things they remember about others, type it up and make everyone a book with everything in it, years later it will be cherished by all, and each year you can add to it, always put names though, relationships to d9ifferent ones, we started doing that at our family reunion every year and one person types it all up and the others just pay the cost for their book which can range from $1.20 to $4.00 depending on how much was submitted for the year, it includes birth and deaths of family, special events etc. good luck, if all else fails, make em look at each other lols |

I think you might have been on to something as far as entertaining the kids - string one up and give the others a blindfold and a stick and let em go at it! hahaha! Okay, if you can't lock em in the basement, maybe that won't work either...I don't have kids, so I don't really have any suggestions other than movies and games (board or card games). As far as your daughter's first date and his choice of hair style. Yuck! Arg! She's probably gaga over his "cute" hair, too I bet! lol! I hate that style as well. You should buy Beiber wannabe a hair band and when he comes to the door, put it on him and shove his hair back. lol! He'd never come back, and that would probably be a good thing! I was probably 15ish when I was able to start "dating." As I said, I don't have kids yet, but I sort of dread when I do and they start dating! It'll be so frightening!!! Good luck getting through your daughter's first "car" date and also with entertaining the kiddos! Oh, and "whatshisname" is George.  |

Becky, that is a cute idea for the book. They were really good, the two older kids brought games for the wii and were pretty much voluntarily locked in the basement playing, the two younger ones wandered the house, but were good despite not having much to do. |

Snookums, it was so funny. Madison came home from school and first she said she couldn't go because she was having a panic attack, than she didn't feel good, than back to panic. She kept hugging me and saying, "mommy, I don't want to go". They finally showed up and she left. She was home by 9 and had a great time. The mother ate dinner with them...LOL Both kids were probably nervous, so it worked out fine. |
