Fuck, I feel old

Daughter's boyfriend slept over. He just got his driver's license so he drove here.
I can sympathise.

All those years I was gonna be a hard bastard... nah, never amounted to much.

The lovebirds took the car to shop, earlier, and I felt *really* old. I could practically hear the wedding bells.

Yeah, mate. Sympathies and all. Just grumble when you can get away with it and pick your battles.
Edit: You know what is worse? She picks me and not her mum to open up to about all of this? Bloody Hell! I am not female. I have no idea abou this kind of thing and all I know is that teenage boys are horrible bloody things. I used to be one myself. Ah well...
-
Aaaah, how fast they grow.
First dates are scary, they can lead to first heartbreaks.
Hope your girl has lots of fun, Al, she is a cute and smart cookie.

What would her mother know about teenage boys, better turn to the one who has been one himself.

No but I do not know about being a female teenager and how that feels and what they go through.

That's OK, as long as you can listen, comfort and support her. And now and then tell her some teenage thoughts are bloody nonsense of course, you have to act as a grown up parent.
And you may not know about being a female teenager, you do know about your girl. That specific knowing is way more important.

At least you wouldn't go bizark and go after the guy with a shot gun

When the break-up comes just tell her that sometimes you've got to kiss a lot of toads before you get to the frogs.

Tell her becoming a crazy old cat lady is definitely under-rated. :thumbup:
Oh hell, just hang in there, medicate yourself if need be. I'm a bit glad I have a boy...although there's a fair share of issues there too. Next year he hits 16. :hide:

My daughter and her boyfriend have now dated for close to eleven months, or so I'm told. I don't know what to fear the most, that they'll break up or that they'll marry.

Fear marriage. Everyone should fear marriage. :hide:

If you have a daughter with RL friends, you may find she turns to them more than to you, in case of things going sad or exiting.
There is no need for a parent to understand female teenagers. The only thing you can do is love them.

Well, I would like to understand my teenager, too. :-\
-
Well, I would like to understand my teenager, too. :-\
I would like understanding my teenagers, and in some things I do understand them, maybe even better than they understand themselves. In other things, it is the force of nature, them being beyond understanding. They are moving away from their parents, on their way to a life of their own.
It's a lonely thing now and then, both being and parenting a teenager.

What's the fella like?

She's practically an adult now. And a teenager, at the same time.

(Funny thing is, if you ever saw photos of a early twenties Gareth Nelson, he looked striking similar to this kid. Age this kid 10 years and you would have Gareth doppleganger. Not saying he has illegitimate children as a possibility. I want to quash those rumours. Amy nabbed him from the time he first hit puberty so no chance of that ;) )

I am 48 and still no dating. :angel:

I didn't start until I was seventeen. Then my parents got all the worst of teenage life crammed into one awful year.

When I was still a baby, they moved houses and made sure there was wiring for a second phone line to the room which was going to be my bedroom, on the theory that one day I would grow up to be a teenage girl who never got off the phone. When I found out, I made total fun of them for it, being a typical asocial autism-spectrum kid who didn't really have friends and certainly didn't talk to them on the phone. We moved again when I was fifteen and this time they didn't bother.
Then senior year hit and a certain somebody started calling nonstop. I took the calls in their study... for hours... upon hours....
Course anymore I don't go near a phone if I can help it. Teenage hormones do very strange things to a person's brain.
-
I was 13 when I started dating...without permission of course. >:D
I was probably the reason my mother brewed wine and my father collected guns. New boyfriend every week...didn't listen to anyone...knew everything...crazy enough to try anything...every parents teenage nightmare...if my father could have chained me up in the cellar and got away with it, I think he wouldn't have even blinked. :zombiefuck:

I've thought about this on occasion, I have to admit. Teenage daughters are sometimes a nightmare.

You get to feel older. older doesn't stop.
Interesting what we feel "old" about, isn't it?

First handing out of tokens of affection, and fights over the affection of the love of their life can start pre kindergarten. So, they must be younger than three years old.

Ugh....good luck parents.
Me....well, I would just tell them to not have sex...then hand them condoms just incase. I would also give them a long lecture about putting their relationship online, and tell my daughter all the red-flags of relationship...I would also say texting nude--or half-nude-- pics is not normal and that they will be arrested if they do that.
Then I would demand to meet the boy's parents.
After that, they would be free to make their own informed choices.

That is, do the stupidities anyway, but because you told them not to.

My siblings and I received so little sex education, it's lucky we were so unpopular. :tard:
-
My mother never talked about it. Thankfully, the internet was around.
The funny thing is, that my mother actually tried to educate me recently on "the birds and the bees". Two things wrong here:
1) I'm 18. If she didn't think I knew about it by now... :headhurts:
2) I had sex for the first time in June
Yeah. Thank God I live in the 21st century. Sure humanity is the worst species ever to exist and we're slowly destroying both each other and our home...But at least we have the internet. :GA:

Nope, I live alone. Cannot see myself finding the right person to settle down with. I cannot actually imagine living with anyone, lol, I am so used to having my own space. Even having my ex round sometimes to watch a film makes me feel invaded somehow. Maybe I just have not found the correct person... I tend to not go out other than with a group I created anyway. Sort of that clash between wanting some sort of family, and yet, needing a ridiculous amount of time alone right now. Short of a miracle, I doubt it will happen. I have basically been celibate for the last 6+ years anyway. :yarly:

Hmm. yeah. Sound like you're still not ready.
That's the trouble with being an Aspie. By the time we're grown-up enough to handle parenthood, our bodies have given up on the idea.
Actually I gave birth one child at the age of 30. It wasn't altogether planned, or else I'd never have had the nerve. My son is 25 now, and I wouldn't change a thing...except his father *wince*. I mean I'm actually glad. But it was certainly tough.
As luck would have it, my son values his personal space as much as I do. We have quite a lot in common. I was amazed to have a child that I actually like as a person. I thought that never actually happens in the real world *chuckle* . I was prepared for the worst.

Sounds like that turned out well for you then. It seems to be a common thing that one or other parent will find they clash with their offspring or pass on the baggage of their own childhoods. That aspect would deter me a little too. I would hate to bring a child into the world then find I was not a good mother. I would want to give him/her the best childhood I possibly could.
It is true, being aspie is a real double edged sword. I get times when I almost covet the friendships and family others have, but no sooner do I dip my toe in the water, and I am wanting to retreat back to solitude again. I think different aspies have different levels of tolerance for human contact. I seem to get easily overwhelmed. I am almost quite comfortable simply with the friendship of my ex (who is obviously also on the autistic spectrum), where we just watch things together and talk sometimes. I certainly do not think I would be wanting to have a child into my 40s, I would feel myself too old to be able to a good parent.
-
It's possible to be an aspie and still be a good parent. Well, I'd like to think it is, considering I have two kids. I don't think it's a prerequisite to be a social person, even though it helps.

I agree. And an aspie kid is probably a lot better off with an aspie parent.
My dad was aspie, we all think, in retrospect . He was one of the the really difficult ones: rigid, narrow-minded with one hellova short fuse. He was the kind of guy who makes a Religion out of Atheism, and thinks all apostates should burn in Hell, never mind if it's a mythical place that only gullible half-wits would believe in. He had no friends, he drove them all away. We had diametrically opposite points of view on most things, so one of my favourite pastimes used to be picking an argument with Dad, whilst the rest of the family headed for the hills >:D. He wasn't easy to live with, but for me, he was far easier to live with than the rest of the family, who are all rabid NTs. We understood each other, and knew where we were with each other. We both said exactly what we thought. We enjoyed having a go at each other. It was kinda like playing chess with unexploded landmines. I'm really glad he was there. :)

My father cared only about his business. Even a holiday was him on the phone to the office. That, and constant issues from my mum. I mean, I had all I needed materially, and good stuff in my childhood, but I was also called useless object, gormless, asked why I couldn't be more like my brother, why I couldn't be more normal and things along those lines which have stuck with me ever since. I do not know if both or one of my parents is on the spectrum, but I do know they met via a dating agency back in the day, and both have had lifelong interests and control issues.

Ouch! I used to get the exact same thing from my Mum all the time :( I used to envy kids who complained that their parents took no interest in them. I just longed to be left alone.

My grandma was an aspie. I think that when she died, four days short of 101, she was the world's oldest spazz.

I did not wish to be left alone, because also when I had done anything that was considered not acceptable, I was ignored and my brother got all the attention instead, haha. But at the same time, one of my parents was very controlling to a point where I was not really allowed to wear what I was comfortable with, without getting a lot of icy glares and words spoken about me, in front of me. It can make you feel a bit guilty if there was good stuff too in there, but the bad has left too much damage to be able to simply blank it out eh. I always liked that poem by Philip Larkin ...

I was also called useless object, gormless, asked why I couldn't be more like my brother, why I couldn't be more normal and things along those lines which have stuck with me ever since.
Ouch! I used to get the exact same thing from my Mum all the time :( I used to envy kids who complained that their parents took no interest in them. I just longed to be left alone.
I did not wish to be left alone, because also when I had done anything that was considered not acceptable, I was ignored and my brother got all the attention instead, haha.

Oops! a bit late for the OP as advice goes. Do you have any alternative suggestions?
Yep, I know that poem by heart. At least 50% of all British aspies do, I reckon. even the ones who don't like poetry. That and Jabberwocky. You want to hear a bunch of Aspies reciting in unison, pick one of those. Go figure...

You get to feel older. older doesn't stop.
Interesting what we feel "old" about, isn't it?

I radiate "don't cramp my style" waves. It took years of practice.

It sounds like the fuckbuddy relationship might be your thing.
You don't have to compromise anything, just set aside an hour or so for sex.

I managed to reproduce, again. Not only here, by being back, but...current girl friend is very pregnant. Finally had a planned placenta. Show me where I can show baby bump/nude pictues of my soon to be wife (probably should get divorced first, naw), point me.
She's a guys daughter, there for, this is on topic. And it was the last I left in my mail box, otherwise I wouldn't give a shit about any of you. Now I do. Magic!

Some things have changed abit, since I was here last. Girl friend (she's kinda new) is a bit younger then me (30years?), well ya, she can get pregnant, wife is older then me and I'm 66. So damn proud of those lil spermy guys, I was doubting myself big time. Gonna raise me a crop of dental floss.
Need name ideas, I'm thinkin Cotton?

Thanks, we love her a lot. My Wife is about the same age as my grown kids and I had so forgotten that bond when they are young, the kid, not the Wife ;p
