    Today is a top 5 day for me for being happy.

    My daughter, 4.0 GPA at Michigan State, and on the deans list dump her boyfriend today.

    I did not like that guy. About two weeks ago I talk to her about him, told her this would be the last time I do, but please hear Dad out.

    1. He's not had a job for a year
    2.He's not going to college
    3.He's kind of a smart ass
    4.He can't catch a football or make a basket.

    I am one happy Dad today!!!!

    BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!

    My daughter dated and eventually married a very nice guy.

    My only complaint is that he seems to do everything on the 5 year plan.

    My daughter dumped a guy because he asked her to prom with a big road side construction sign that was set up on her way to school.

    I wonder who she takes after

    One my points in my talk was, you are going to make 120-150,000 when you graduate, how much of that are you willing to spend to support him!

    Change him to her and its a worthwhile conversation to have with your son too based on divorce rates and family law.

    My daughter married a guy 14 years older than her. Why? All the guys who wanted to get serious were immature, she said. SIL is a great husband, father, and provider.

    My SIL is 7 years older than my daughter.

    I'm not complaining. I'm 7 years older than my wife.
