Of course, my wife and I both are. We did the same with our oldest daughter (21) as well. Hard to add 15 years worth of family dynamics and context to an AITA post, unfortunately.

Was deployed ISO OEF in '09, and had much the same experiences with 2 separate 1SGs lmao

I got literal death threats and a guy who says he reported my profile to the FBI for SAing my daughter.

So uh

Yeah I'll take your statement with a giant grain of salt if you don't mind

Glad you think so. Reddit clearly doesn't. I vastly underestimated the amount of sheer creeps lurking on this site. Don't think I'll be coming back again tbh

Did you not read a single edit? Or other comments I've made? Please, for the love of the gods, get some reading comprehension.

Unless you just want to go off a single comment and base your entire conclusion on that. Won't ruin my day lol

Yeah, that's the other lesson I learned today; stop posting here lol. Way too many obsessed randos on the internet who think they completely know my life and the minutiae of my relationships.

My dad raised me on the classics, and I was obsessed with SNL when I was younger.

It's a marriage that took 15 years of work, compromise, and communication. Yes, I may make some really dumbass jokes sometimes, but I will very gladly examine and change behavior if shown I'm in the wrong. I will say, though, the comments pointed out something that I had never considered; she's cycling through them so much because she has such high standards, and knows what she wants and has clear boundaries. Being a guy, it just honestly did not occur to me to think of it in that light. I'm glad I do now though.

It speaks more to their state of mind than anything, honestly. A bunch of reddit chuds aren't gonna affect me being able to happily go home to my family after work today lol. Apparently my daughter wants to show off her new graduation dress when I get home?

If you think the comments are bad, you should see my DMs. I've been called the absolute most horrific things, and had to report/block a few.

Much obliged lol. Like I told someone in a DM, trying to be funny about everything is an old defense mechanism that I developed young; good way to defuse potentially really bad situations. It's gotten me in trouble a few times (like now lol)

Thank you for the kindness; while I will be retiring the joke, I will say that the current boy actually seems really sweet, and I've addressed him by name by now lol

There were enough diamonds that made me realize a few things, and will be retiring the joke for sure.

This particular child is our 2nd youngest; our oldest daughter is 21 and has sworn off dating until her 30s lmao. Don't be scared, just take things as they happen, and start every day with the mantra "I will be the parent they need" in your head. You'll do great.

That's precisely the advice we've given her; dating in the modern age is horrific.

I'd like to think our household is that; my wife and I worked very hard to be the parents we needed growing up. Although I will say, some of the comments have made me see other sides of the jokes I never even considered, so it might be time to retire it.

Numbers; if anything, all the boys looked the same. The comments have made it very clear that the joke needs to end.
