while he's wearing some concrete overshoes for 'training' purposes?
I was thinking more along the lines of a concrete jersey, but overshoes would work.twitter: @JakeM19690 -

it's a rite of passage, as a boy you have to endure the overbearing/protective father of your potential partners so that when you become a father you understand how to be overbearing/protective of your own daughter to protect them from boys such as your younger self.Hat + Beard0 -

I may not yet be a father but I do have a sister who is 19 years younger than myself. She has had to contend with both myself and our father over the years when various boyfriends have been introduced to the family.
I still have memories to this day of being pinned against the wall by the overzealous father of an ex girlfriend and being told in no uncertain he did not 'like posh kids' and to "get your hands off my daughter" I was 18 at the time.twitter: @JakeM19690 -

I've always told my daughter that I would be sitting there nonchalantly cleaning my shotgun when her boyfriend/suitor first comes to collect her...
"Now young man, what are your intentions towards my lovely daughter?"

I do fear I will be one of those fathers who will be over protective towards any daughter yet a 'go for it' kind of father towards any son.twitter: @JakeM19690

This thread has made me do an actual LOL0

I managed to mash one of the neighbours 17 or 18 year old kids into the ground on a 1.5 mile hill close to home. He tried passed me at some pace at the bottom of a hill but I was a good half mile in front of him by the time I reached home.
He'd neither the technique or stamina to take me on. Which, considering the 30 odd year age difference I found encouraging for me and worrying for him!

As the father of boy/girl twins, that's a real issue for me...I will need to be seen to treat them equally
However, my younger sister (8 years my junior) maintains that all her boyfriends were terrified of me... :twisted:

I bloody well hope my youngest sister current boyfriend is terrified of me on the account of him being a jumped up arsehole. I have never liked him and he is under no illusions what so ever that if he hurts my sister in any way he will regret it for a long time.twitter: @JakeM19690
