I would never have figured the wonderful woman I married would have chosen me, either. Kind of weird how some things work out. At least Skippy hasn't popped the question to my daughter yet. I figure he's waiting until he has a job and she is out of high school. At least I hope so, or my reaction is going to be less than ecstatic.........

I almost posted something totally inappropriate, and I apologize.

I am, however, feeling a little better about my daughter's boyfriend, Skippy the Cave Troll. The boy (19) is trying hard with the brains he has, so I have to give him some credit, and he shows me the utmost respect and consideration. In turn, I give him some respect.

I wish you luck with your current situation and hope all works out well for you and your daughter. In the meantime, I suspect you'll be getting more of the clogged drain, tripped breaker, leaking faucet type calls. That puts you in a difficult situation. You want to help your little girl, but not him. He's already asking for your help but was even quicker to let you know you weren't welcome if carrying.

Like it or not, he is within his rights to request you don't carry in his home. Even if your daughter says "OK", if they are both on the lease/paperwork/whatever, it can be presumed he has given you verbal notice.

Discuss it with your daughter, not the goober. He has made his position plain, and she probably isn't even aware of it. If its a good relationship, she gets a say in the decision as well. Personally, I don't think you have too much to worry about. Your daughter knows you carry, she knows you are responsible, and my guess is that it'll work out one way or the other. I just wouldn't go vist. Not until it was cleared up.

Or you could just tell him that since you aren't welcome in his home because you carry, he is not welcome in yours because he is:

1. Provincial
2. Uneducated
3. Misinformed
4. Closeminded
5. Inconsiderate
6. Rude to potential father in law (never good scenario)
7. Not good enough for your daughter
8. Scratched your furniture
I'm sure there are many other things that can be added to the list, but this is a quality forum with high standards.

Be safe out there!
