Phineas and Ferb. All ****ing day....

Could be much worse, it's actually a pretty good kid's show.

Mike in SW-MO 02-01-2013 02:34 PM

Few years back I took my daughter & her soccer friends to see the Disney heart throbs perform at state fair. Funny to watch 11 yo girls having screaming spastic convulsions.

By intermission I was shoving toilet paper in my ears. One of my girls was crying her eyes out cause her ears were hurting. Girl sitting behind her never ever ever quit screaming. We traded spots and I began the training course. Every time she started screaming, I stood up so she couldn't see. She would quitand I would sit down. She'd scream. I'd stand. After about 5 minutes we had an understanding.

Take ear plugs just in case.

I'm not really sure, I've never seen it and it is my wife's rule.

Last year, I took my oldest daughter to a Chiefs game for her birthday. I spent around $250 for 3 tickets.

It was my time to make it right, so I spent an almost IDENTICAL amount per ticket as I spent on the game and bought 3 tickets to Taylor Swift in concert.

I am almost certain that I will have to go. ABSOLUTELY not my type of music.

But I can't wait to tell her!

Wanna trade for 3 Justin Beiber tickets?

There are a few like that on Cartoon Network as well. I try and keep a pretty close eye on stuff they watch as well. My kids are starting to get into the Live action DIsney Channel shows like Jessie now. :facepalm:

Yeah....it tends to be like that.

My daughter wanted to watch Adventure Time......and I won't let her.

My kids aren't really allowed to watch Cartoon Network at all.

My wife caught me watching Space Ghost Coast to Coast once. LMAO

They watch Disney more than anything else (Nickelodeon is like A Clockwork Orange with commercials) but it's mostly "Austin and Ally" and "Good Luck Charlie". They hate "Jessie".

houstonwhodat 02-01-2013 02:48 PM

Taylor Swift will end up a big fat bitch like her mom.

Her music sucks.

My daughter just turned two. I doubt she understands anything that is going on in these shows, but enjoys the bright colors and goofy characters.

I hope I'm right anyway and not molding her into something I shouldn't be.

My daughters are two as well. They pay more attention when an animal shows up in one of the episodes. If they start acting like the kids on the show.....it's going off.

Deberg_1990 02-01-2013 02:52 PM

The one i truly enjoy with my son is Aquabats on the HUB. Great show....sort of a throwback to live action Sat morning shows from the 70s and 80s.

I LOVE Taylor Swift. Don't think she's super hot, and don't really like her music. I love her because she actually writes her own music, and walked away from the first label that signed her because she didn't like the direction they wanted her to go with her music. They wanted her to sing other people's music and stop writing. She's incredible in my book.

Mr. Laz 02-01-2013 03:17 PM

you're wrapped around her little finger, get used to it.

much worst thing in life to be ...

Now see, that's something I can respect despite that fact that her music doesn't appeal to me at all.

This!

My daughter is 17 now...sometimes when we are just sitting and watching a TV program together or just sitting around talking, she loves to bring up what we did together when she was 8-10. And when I see the sparkle in her eyes talking about all the fun she had back then and how she loves me for how I went to all those "silly little girl things" it makes everything worth it. I once took my daughter to an American Girl store....stood with her as she pretty much looked at everything they sold for almost every doll they make.

Now....we talk about music (we share the same musical interests), baseball (Lord help her she is a Yank-me fan) and peruse Listverse together. And occasionally she will whisper...."Dad, you are such a dork"...and smile

Not to hijack this thread, but for those guys whose daughters are all grown and moved away....do you occasionally get out the old albums and look at the pictures just to smile at the memories?

Seriously. She's one of the few pop star/celebs out there right now I would trust my children to look up too. She's a whore, but she doesn't publicize it. She writes songs about them. ROFL

I've let my kids paint my toenails, braid my hair, I seriously just don't give a shit about stuff like that.

It's fun and they love it.

There were a couple of those I had to attend too...Barney in the early days. Plus all the Disney on Ice and Disney Characters shows.

Oh....and I had to deal with early Pokemon and Yugi-Oh cartoons and trading cards.

And Barbies....she had way too many. You know you're a Dad when you go to take your Team to lunch and the girls sitting in the back seat are chuckling at the Barbies in the back seat that your daughter left there when you dropped her off at the Pre-School.

Yeah, even my daughter says "man, could you imagine being her boyfriend. She'd get mad and write a song about it."

See that's the kind of thing that makes you the best Dad...never let your ego get the best of you. And when they get older and start looking for the man they want to eventually marry, they tell you they want someone who is just like you...someone who loves their mom, plays silly games and doesn't care what others think.

I once skipped down the hall of Metro North with my daughter just because she asked me to. I figured I would catch all kinds of catcalls....as I was standing in front of the Disney Store that was there at the time, this big guy standing next to me leaned over and said...."I saw you earlier skipping with your daughter...I could never do that". I actually felt bad for the guy...

BlackHelicopters 02-01-2013 06:07 PM

Well, always love your children. Tolerate the obsessions, especially if it involves teen female pop idols.

KevB 02-01-2013 06:08 PM

I am taking my 8 year old daughter to a father daughter dance tonight. It is all about making memories, as they will grow up in the blink of an eye. I also have a 13 year old daughter, and she really flipped the switch this year from my little girl to a full blown teenager. Still a great kid, but a tangible change.

My daughter and I do that kind of stuff in Target and Wal Mart all the time. Oh the looks we get.

That's about the time I look around beside and behind me confused and then my daughter says, so that all the gawkers can hear her, "who farted?" :D

Ahhh...Father/Daughter dances. There's a memory they NEVER forget. The picture we took together that night when she was 9 and we went to our first Father/Daughter dance is still on her Bulletin Board. So many things have come and gone on that bulletin board but that picture has never moved from it's spot.

And yes....that first teen year will kill you. Not personally...but in your heart.

Dude I've always shaved clean since right out of high school.

One day I just didn't. My wife was pregnant and says she wasn't shaving there towards the end, lol, almost ten pounder I can say I blamed her. So I told her I wouldn't either. I still haven't, she has of course lol. She hates it
Its great

I took my 9 year old daughter to work with me today. She blew insulation in an attic while I loaded the hopper. That was awesome. Plus, I paid her in "whatever you want at Hardees". She chose that over $10. I'm gonna have to teach her better.

I was just marveling the other day that mine don't remember the big shit we did. Sure, their memory is jogged by the pictures of Disneyworld and other expensive vacations. They remember little crap like when their sleeping bags got soaked in a downpour while camping or jamming to ridiculous songs like Chumbawumba on the radio.

Yep. They remember the most minor, mundane details.

Take her to the concert and be happy and pretend you like it. She'll never forget it and you'll get a big hug for your efforts.

Nah - don't do enough insulation business to justify that setup but I wish I did. That's money there. This was just dry attic stuff. Easy. I just spread out the stuff she got too heavy and I did all the corners and edges myself.

Thanks....I appreciate it. My blog is actually pretty easy to find. Writing runs in the family. I have a brother who runs a Christian website and has written a couple of books. My younger brother is the more cerebral writer...has some deep stuff.

I'm just the casual writer/casual observer that likes to write down-home pieces.

Exactly....they talk about the big things when we do, but their best memories are dancing on their daddie's toes to their favorite song, being curled up on a cold winter night watching movies, their favorite night trick or treating when Dad dressed up with them and Father/Daughter dances.

Sometimes we have to take time to look at our child's life thru their eyes to fully comprehend how important we are to them. And rarely do we appreciate it on the level they do

Provoke your daughter to wrath.

This will ensure she becomes a lifelong Raiders fan.

She will also decide which home you end up in some day.

displacedinMN 02-03-2013 09:28 AM

I have two girls.

My 9 year old is the same way with TS. Looking at buying tickets, they will be a lot more than a game.

That is the price of being a parent. Go with it.

She will love you more. That is what matters.
