Even as a father I'll never understand the weird insecurity that dads like this experience. Like, am I thrilled that my kid is eventually going to grow up to probably grind and smash with her boyfriends behind the Quiznos? Of course not. But being brooding and possessive about it is weird. Maybe even Alabama kind of weird.
I always find it interesting how some parents do this weird “don’t touch my daughter” but mix it with “give me grandkids!!”… like, you can’t have it both ways.
Throw stick! No take! Only throw!
Ah, but the doublethink is the point! Add in a lil religious hypocrisy, and oh baby you got a Southern American stew goin.
These occur at different life stages for children
Teenager years, "Don't touch my daughter." / "Don't impregnate anyone."
Mid twenty and later, "Grandbabies please."
Maybe they're just really pro-adoption (not enough to do it themselves, though)
Nope, not at all. My parents berated me until I was 35 to "wait until you're ready to have kids." Then they were like, why are you waiting to have grandkids?! You've been married for 5 years!!!
their daughter can have kids, but only in a mary and joseph kind of way
Not with that attitude you can’t.
Yeah my fear is that my kids will be like every teenager since the dawn of humanity and not care that much about long-term consequences.
Ew, Quiznos? I expected better of you, son.
