GARY, wow! I'm sorry but your problems are like mole hills compared to mine. My daughter has been going out for the past 8 months or so with this awful disgusting guy. He's not a good guy and this is not a joke. He's disrespectful and I will not even speak to the guy. It makes me wonder how my daughter had forgotten everything that I raised her to believe. But here's the BAD part. Over Easter I see this picture on their myspaces and they have 'wedding rings' on their fingers. And they changed their relationship status from 'in a relationship' to 'MARRIED'....argh!!! And they had been to Vegas and I thought I was going to puke. I found out much later that this was actually an April Fools Joke. But eventually his true colors came out and he got drunk and kicked her out of the apartment with no money/no gas/no where to go. I drove 6 hours and reserved a hotel room for her. I helped her get situated in new place with a friend complete with gas/money/and a blow up bed to sleep on. And her friend got her a job. I just pray every day that she doesn't fall foolishly again for this complete looooooser. Your guy sounds like heaven compared to this one. BELIEVE me. You don't want to know what kinds of ideas I've had....to make this one disappear..haha...(but I can't commit crimes so the ideas are out) :P

p.s. you sound like one heck of a DAD! I applaud you for your commitment to your daughter! I bet she's one beautiful ~ wonderful girl!!!

Tina

congratulations EZ.....may she be very very happy.

And I know you aren't TOTALLY heartbroken because you will be bugging her for those GRANDKIDS as soon as she says "I DO"

We are blessed to have her!

Tina, I am sorry for your circumstance with your daughter. I pray it works out for her and you. Amanda is a wonderful girl, very special.

Well, as much as I want GRANDkids, I try not to bug them about it...in THEIR time...I just hope THEIR time is soon!

Thank you all so much for responding to this thread. It really helped me get through this tough week for me! Most of you know I was kidding...all of my stories are true!

I am truly blessed to have a (NOW) son in law that treats my daughter as well as he has for so many years already. He has given me no indication that that will ever change.

I am truly sorry that some of your experiences are not the same as mine. I can't even imagine what some of you are saying, in your heads, about my joking around. I know for some of you the "issue" is no joking matter. I am truly sorry if I offended anyone in my attempt to be funny and make an interesting thread for us all to enjoy.

I will start another thread...this one has served its purpose

THIS RAN ONE YEAR AGO ~...I am bringing it back for the anniversary. I edited the first post.

Gary, good luck to you...I love reading your posts!

EZ, you crack me up!

I'm glad you brought it back. I wasn't here when it ran the first time.

And congrats to your daughter & SIL () on their anniversary!

Gosh, has it been a year? I remember this from last year. It was funny then and still funny today! ha!

wow gary....time has flown by.

Yep gals this Monday will be one year!

EZ - ah, know the feeling well (Moms feel the same way about sons too). Congrats, and my thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this bittersweet time.

Thanks for a fun post and a walk down memory lane (DS1 just celebrated his 4th anniversary).

E Z, what a lucky daughter you have and what a lucky man you are!! You made my day and made me weepy about my own Dad who died much before I walked down the aisle.
I just left a weight loss message board that have informed us that they don't want to hear our personal problems and I thought they were my friends! I am so thrilled to find this board that will help me with weight loss as well as support in the life I lead. Laughter is decidely the best medicine and the people on this board know how to!!
Congrats also to that lucky son in law to be for finding your family!!

A BIG thank-you LIZABETH

I am a very lucky man and I know it...my children know how much I love them and I know how much they love me! My life is full!

EVERY daughter should have a father that adores them!

You will find many threads here at 3FC for needed support! We will not fail you! I guarantee it! In fact come on over to WEIGHT LOSS SUPPORT and I will guarantee you a 5 POUND loss and a 5K!...just look for my threads!!

If you need prayers go to Christian Encouragers in Faith Support and "our team" there will be on their knees so fast your head will spin!
