Meet The Parents? Eeek!

April 27, 2008

First off, I’ve got to mention this: I’m watching Monster Jam right now, and Dennis Anderson just did THE BEST freestyle run I have ever seen him do. And you know, that’s saying a lot. Got some absolutely wild air off a jump. Did a barrel roll shortly after that and managed to land on all fours and keep going. THEN, rolled it over AGAIN end over end and landed on all fours again! And kept going! Made me wish I had a DVR.

Aaaaanyway… here’s the deal. We were supposed to hang out tonight, but I it was too late, apparently. However, she did ask what I was doing Thursday (nothing). Why? Eeep! Dinner at her place to meet her parents!

Okay, let’s review (though it’s not really a review, as you guys didn’t know)… I’m 21, she’s 16 (but hey, she’ll be 17 next month!). I’m a college dropout (x2), she’s still in high school.

Okay, not much more to review than that, but whatever. And yeah, that was the first thing I asked her, was if they know how old I am (so they don’t shit themselves at the dinner table when they ask me). The problem is, this is the first time I’ve really done this. Every other girl I dated long enough to bother meeting her parents, it was done very casually, in the course of going over to her house usually. Talk about nerve racking. And it’s still 4 days away :-D Imagine what my nerves will be like on Thusday…. sheesh. This is gonna be a real trip, let me tell you what.

As a parent of many 21-14 years old, can I offer up some advice? Hope so, I don’t keep my mouth shut too long.

Spend the next few days concentrating on your attributes. What do you have to offer this girl and the world. I think you are focusing too much on what is not so favorable.

Although, I would love all my children to be with college grad’s, this isn’t how the world works. We all want the best, but the heart sees things we don’t.

One of my daughters is dating a worker, never a college student. He is my favorite out of all the kids other halves. He is a hard worker and will succeed even without college. He has goals and ambitions, that I expect him to achieve. And I’m pretty sure, our daughter will not want, if she is with him.

If you focus on your “good” so will they.
