NEWKID 27,649 Posted September 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 If I had a teenage daughter ..... Apart from making medical history, I'd like to think I was pretty much Daddy Cool Because I've just bought myself a " Sansa clip plus MP3 Player ". Now, I know it's not the latest model. And it's certainly not an " i " anything. Or an Android what ever. But, surely it's not bad? Of course, I suppose it would all fall apart when I enthused to her friends how I've got it to play the sounds of a feeding sparrow flock. So I could lure them in. Catch and ring them. 'Epic Dad Fail', would they call it ? Well your far cooler than me cause I've no idea what your talking about lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

comanche 3,076 Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 My daughter and her mates had a phase of going to one of two clubs in the next town that held under 21 nights . I'd turn up at the appointed time to retrieve them only to spend ages sitting in the car while they milled around outside playing the cool and sophisticated club-going chicks to their peers whilst waiting for me to swan up to the doors like a hired limo driver . This was never going to happen as I was lucky to find a parking spot of any sort what with the other parents and boyfriends vying for kerb-space with the police vehicles that were always on standby at kicking -out time . One evening i decided the best way of getting their attention was to clamber on the roof of my 20 year old Fiesta and stand there waving . I never had to do that again ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

robbo 868 Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 I cant imagine how many times i have embaressed my daughter over the years, usually after a few sherbets at the rugby club. She started sitting at the other side of the club to disassociate herself from me on saturday nights. I used to answer her phone if a lads name came up on the screen and say allsorts of stuff. I knew when i had gone too far because the wife used to call me by my full name with that headmistress tone in her voice. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 I was taking to my brother the other day about this, I don't feel old exactly and he's younger than me, we've both got teenage daughters, and we are what we hoped we'd never be... Embarrassing dads lol There's some kind of fun in being an embarrassing dad when our daughters have friends around, why? Lol I genuinely thought I'd be "with it" when my daughter was this age, but most of the music is shite, I've no idea what instagrams all about, and I don't want to start on the make up lol... You should try to keep up to date with the "Hit Parade". My boy's a bit older - 20 now. I used to try and embarrass him in front of his mates but he's always been so laid back he never gave a shit when I did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
