manitoubass2 Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) So my daughter has a boyfriend now. First time I've ever dealt with this and was pretty friggin skeptical at first. 7 months later, this kid is like my friggin son lol. He can cook, clean and most importantly, work. Doesn't smoke, or drink, or do drugs... Anyhow, during last week's immense rain, he created a large rut in our driveway. I wasn't happy and told him. "Give me a week sir and it'll be fixed" he replied. Shows up today, "hey Rick, I'll have some material here later to fix the driveway" Alrighty Low and behold he shows up with a trailer full of sand. Then a old loader. Packs it's nicely under my guidance Leaves, shows up with a trailer of crushed rock. Same thing. Good kid! They are the minority these days. Good thing we move this week and I wasn't concerned about it anyhow lol Good on ya young man! This guy is gonna go places Edited October 8, 2017 by manitoubass2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leaf4 Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Always good to hear of stuff like this, most people you're lucky if you get your item/belonging replaced or fixed. The way I was raised was you replace, above and beyond what is necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moosebunk Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Can you send him 2000 kilometers this way Rick. Driveway here could use a little touch-up. Sounds like a great young lad. But really, aren't most when they're after our daughters....? Keep a watchful eye. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah he's just a good kid. I'm sure they're up to no good at some times but he sure isn't me at 17. All I ask from the wife is she limits a little information so I don't go ape.... Fun thing this kids growing into young adults lol. Might need blood pressure meds soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if they weren't scared before meeting me, they certainly were after. Most boyfriends did not last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ketchenany Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Must have been the hot peppers Bruce! I have four that came our way and these guys are gems. All work at great jobs, have kids and homes of their own. They just all show up for dinner and one can cook like a chef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our other daughter brought a boy home for us to meet and he never lasted 20 minutes before I put him in the truck, drive him home and told him not to ever return That's a weird story though for another day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ironmaker Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) Doesn't smoke, or drink, or do drugs... In front of you at least, don't you remember when you were 17. My 15 year old girlfriends parents wanted to adopt me, 9 months later they wanted to put me in prison, and I should have been locked up.

He's either working, hunting or working on his truck at our house. Yeah he's one of those kids with a $35,000 truck and he needs to modify every part on it. Better than doing drugs/alcohol I suppose right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 If he can afford to pay for his mods on his truck, fine, it keeps him busy and hopefully out if trouble. Sounds like a good kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Randy Moss's voice, "COME ON MAN." I never had a daughter but enough nieces and God Daughters to lose sleep, I don't envy your journey Brudder. I am such a sceptic I want to know how a 17 year old can come up with a down stroke and make payments on a 35K rig and bling it out let alone insurance which has to be 500 a month for a 17 year old. This guy needs some Hamilton style interrogation, he may fold under questioning. Edited October 12, 2017 by Old Ironmaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you want me to say MAAAAN? he's partaking in sexual acts with my daughter?(I hope that was clean enough art?) Yes, he probably is. But I'd rather not think about that so please people quit bringing it up lol. Kid has a good job, and I guess he's really into trucks lol. His truck is probably cosigned signed by daddy or grandpa. I know our kids are nowhere near owning a vehicle. Which they will do on their own and no I will not cosign. So they'll all likely have 1992 Honda Civic hatchbacks as their first vehicles hahaha. 4 teens in the house now, only two have jobs. They have alot of learning, and alot of work to do!!!!

Old Ironmaker Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) Rick, no he and she may not be. I dated a few young ladies when I was a child (16 to 18) for a long time, more than one at a time too, and we never ever had intimate relations, ever. Especially those of which came from good families that I respected. It might have been the Roman Catholic boy in me. Knowing what I know a to how you and Jen parent and the respect your kids have for the two of you I really doubt it. Just bustin' orbs. I wouldn't sweat it, sounds like a good kid. Teach him to cook. You never know, my younger brother started dating his wife when they were 13 freekin' years old. He and she are 60 now and have been together for the last 47 years!!!!

manitoubass2 Posted October 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) Well I hope that's the case lol. Fact is I just don't know. But he already cooks OK. Apparently he raised his brothers quite Abit(turns out his mom is not all there) but his dad, grandma and gramps looked after him quite well. I learned alot from grams and Gramps too so thats a good thing for sure. I'm reserving further judgment for an Ice fishing trip or three (Check your messages) Edited October 12, 2017 by manitoubass2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) You have a Man to Man with him while cleaning your 30 aught 6. Actually happened to my kid brother when he got engaged to one of his wives, don't remember which number she was. He's going on #4 right now with #5 a distinct possibility and he isn't yet 50. One of the strangest things I have ever seen was when our Uncle passed and there he is with numbers 1 through 3 all hugging next to the coffin while number 4 sits in the corner staring at them. Family reunion I guess. Edited October 12, 2017 by Old Ironmaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
