I'm Surrounded!

Working from home today. I am sitting on the couch with my daughter, one of her friends and my very pregnant wife - our next daughter is due any day. They are playing with Barbie and Polly Pocket. I think I will go cut down a tree with my teeth or something else manly like that.

You really think you're gonna get PERMISSION to do that???

[Mrs. Wallnut]

Dave, so the question I have is: Were you playing with Barbie and Polly Pocket with the girls?.

What you need to do is get a GI Joe, or have a boy the next time around.

There is hope. My 2 1/2 year old grand daughter loves to come out in the shop to play with Papas tools. She is learning to count using drywall screws. I drill holes in pieces of wood and she counts the number of screws she puts in. She still brings the dolls out to show them what to do. When all the grand kids(2boys 2 girls) are here they are all out there working (their term). When the baby comes big sister will be looking for some private time with dad and you will have your chance..

Permission!?? I am a manly man! I cut down trees with my teeth! I don't need permission!

And Melissa, NO I WAS NOT. I was working and surfing BT3Central.

Actually David, you could show the girls how well a Jorgie 12" handscrew clamp can crush two dolls (you'll have to apologize for that one, but it will save your teeth, and you won't have that nasty sap taste in your mouth).

GI Joe is NOT a doll! He's an ACTION FIGURE!!!!!

Crok, I'd suggest just smearing some used motor oil on your chest-- less work than gnawing down a tree...

Tell you what: any bozo can go chew down trees, ride Harleys and do the rest of that 'macho' stuff.

But to sit down and play with Barbie when your little girl asks you to - that takes a real MAN.

I have a two daughters (7 and 4) and one wife (!) and my mom and her sister are visiting. And I am going crazy.

An outsider might see it funny, but I just want out!

Any given moment, there is at least one girl having a problem with at least one other : the 4 year old with the 7, my wife with my mom, my mom with her sister, the 7 year old with her grandma, etc, etc. And guess who do they come to with their complaints?

Of course I am trying to develop a deaf year, but with disastrous consequences - being called insensitive is just the beginning. Just this morning my 4 year old tells me - daddy, you never pay any attention to me; you are only listening to [her sister].
Groooaaaannn!

The only time they agree altogether is when they feel the garage could be better utilized if i'd get rid of my ww tools Somebody help me!

I use this one all the time

"Any smuck can be a father, but it takes a MAN to be a Daddy"

My daughter has a father and a daddy. She hasn't spoken to her father in ages (she never really knew him), but calls her dad (me) for advice all the time. Guess who'll be walking her down the isle when the time comes?

I live with it all the time David, so I know where You are coming from. And Yes My GrandDaughter finally got a Boy Polly Pocket for Christmas. So of course I now have to play. Bill

It was a joke! What takes a real man is to play with Barbie while you are wearing a princess crown, pink heart sunglasses and a sequined cape. Knawing down trees is the yin to that yang.
