So I just got off the phone with my sister, her youngest daughter is having a baby shower this Saturday, her Marine jar head boyfriend says he will pop the question but has not yet, which has lead to her Italian father giving many dirty looks to the jarhead and sitting in the living room cleaning his rifle while refusing to talk to the boy. So, anyway, the eldest son and the middle daughter let grandma (that would be my sister, I tease the shit out of her that she is 44 and a grandma) watch her grandkids. The grandkids went into the downstairs bathroom and my sister figured they couldn't do too much wrong there... It turns put they found the electic clippers they use to shave the family dog only they decided to cut chunks out of their own hair using the electic clippers. I am told they are now half bald. Kids.
The baby shower on Saturday is when I shall introduce myngirlfriend and herbnone year old son to the wider family. I think it will go well.
He sure seems to think it matters. On the upside his self declared "whop thanksgiving" is some times nice as pasta broke up all the turkey, green beans, and stuffing. Variety being the stuff of life and all that.
Becoming a step father for an 8-9 old has had some difficulties. Over all it has been good and the relationship with his mother has been great. I know that is more than your lonely ass can expect in this life but it is still true. Try to he happy, man
What lameass is still calling Marines jarheads in 2019? Also, this is San Diego. I'd think we of all places wouldn't have dad's polishing their guns over their daughters' boyfriend's if only cuz we'd actually see jail time for negligent discharge. You're lucky I just cleaned out my phone and all my gay yaoi pics are on a new SD card because you deserve the spam for making such a boring ass thread, AGAIN. Seriously, just make a Blue Room thread for your boring family shit.
Why does any of this matter? Seriously. The unwed's father is Italian, so the kids shaved their heads, so the baby shower will see the reveal of the new girlfriend? That's more disjointed than @Dinner's political ramblings.
OK, if you are going to continue your ramblings properly it is WOP you stupid motherfucker. You should know this because it is what they called Italian illegal immigrants back in the day. A person should note that for the most part Italians have become part of society just like Muslims and Hispanics will.
Having married a 2nd gen Italian girl, I can tell you it matters. Old world values, ethnic traditions, Roman Catholicism, etc. While our friends were cohabitating 'out of wedlock' in the 70s, we didn't dare. Mary's mother scolded her that she "better be able to get married in a white dress!!" Even years after we were married, my father-in-law complained that I didn't formally ask his consent to marry his daughter, like he had to do before he proposed. Fortunately Mary's great uncle was the last family member with mob connections. Her father was pretty cool, and liked me.
In his defense, since he is calling marines jarheads, and Italians whops (which should be wops) it probably belongs in the red room.
If Dinner with Open Bar wants his family life picked apart by Red Room vultures, so be it. Fifty years ago.
You know, there’s a viral video all over Facebook right now, showing a pair of kids who did the exact same thing. Now, I’m not saying that this is like Dinner’s Canadian girlfriend from Niagara Falls, but what are the odds?
my son-in-law asked for my permission to marry my daughter - that's pretty old-school I must say. So far it's working out - two healthy kids!
You think Italian fathers' attitudes toward guys who fuck their daughters has changed much since then? I'll check with my friend Frank - his daughter is 13 - and get back to ya.
