Don't forget to have him take a test for STD's like we made our SIL. THAT alone will test his character.
We also insisted to see a Dr report from a physical.
So we then said, "this hi blood pressure thing needs worked on, the LAST thing we want for our daughter is for you to stroke out after a short marriage."
ALL THIS before I gave him the green light to propose.
He got on board and has been for all 4 yrs of their marriage.

I used to just explain to my daughter's boyfriends that they better treat them right. Because if they didn't, I had a gun, a shovel, and 450 acres to hide the body on.

Daughters, lol. Just look in her eyes, if you see happiness, let all go. If she knows your there 24/7 then all is right with the world. The best advise I have ever gotten is don't ever offer advise to a Lady who didn't ask for your advise.


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

If you raised her right she will do what is best for her. Stay out of it.

This ^^^ is where I’m at. I have talked to her about the relationship and her words confirm what is written on her face.

I think I’ll wait and play it by ear when the time comes.

I appreciate everybody taking a few minutes to read and post your thoughts on this matter.

Get to know him better but don’t carry it to the extreme, at least not at this point. Trap shed projects were you can talk “guy talk” are good. Talk general stuff. Don’t get too personal.

If you push too hard, too fast - and if she really loves him - you could end up driving her away from you.

Note - the above comments are a daughters view point, not an overly protective father. smile

If my father in law would have told me to have a physical and present the report to him prior to obtaining his blessing I probably would have laughed and walked right to his daughter and proposed.

Just remember, if you happen to push to hard with questions you could push him away.
And if your daughters heart is set on him, you will also push her away.
I learned that with my youngest daughter. She doesn't talk to me anymore.
Remember, Love is the greatest force on this earth
The world will move for LOVE

The Beav is right on-leave them alone.
You know your daughter-if you raised her right she will make responsible choices.
The guy talking about money and keeping up with the joneses is his way of indicating to you that providing for your daughter is important to him.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I told ALL of my daughter's boyfriends that if they ever hurt her they would be repaid TEN fold. I too have a gun and shovel and a lot of places to hid a body.

x2. Tough talkers with your guns and threats, watch how fast you push your daughter into a dirt bag's arms.

Could be worse Hobbie Trapper
I read about a daughter bringing home a seminary student she was planning to marry.
The father took the future preacher son in law into another room to have the talk.
After they had left his wife asked him what he thought of the future family member.
The father replied, he thinks I'm God.
Wife asked why's that.
He said no matter what I asked about him taking care of our daughter such as food, housing, grandkids and vehicles; his answer was God will provide.
