Dear Mom...
What were you thinking, letting me date so many dorks?
What could have possessed you to let me actually walk out the door with them?
Couldn't you have at least put up a fight?
Did you have to let me learn my own lessons?
You could have locked me in my room, you know.
Who cares that I thought I knew what I wanted?! You should have stepped in.
How did you manage not to strangle some of them? Or me?
Because I am in serious need of some parenting advice.
I know, I know.
Pick your jaw up off the floor.
How can I let my baby girl date a guy that makes my skin crawl?
She hogs the phone and gets all moony when he calls...
He is goofy looking and has no "plan" for his life.
Everytime he puts his arm around her, I involuntarily gasp.
And I want to scream "TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF HER, BUCKO".
But it would mortify her.
And I don't want that.
I want her to be happy.
THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT, MOM.
You and your stinkin' curse.
She's just like me.
Happy now?

So far I have only had to deal with my sons dating. But when it is my girls I think it will be a lot worse.
My oldest is getting married soon-- he loves someone more than me (Sob) As it should be (sniff) This is a lot harder than I thought it would be.
She was absolutely ALWAYS dead on about the guys I dated, whether they were great or creeps(mostly creeps).
She can't pick a decent man for herself if her life depended on it though, hmmmm
The more I hear about girls getting bigger, the more I wish the third had been a boy as well!
