You are not being unreasonable to ask your daughter to take her main meal earlier, but you will feel guilty won't you? Could you give your partner a small snack of sandwiches so that the three of you could have a main meal together when she gets home? Don't be a door-mat for all and sundry, you have a life too you know.

NOOOOOOOOO! it is not your obligation. you need to have some tough love with this child! Lay down the rules, and tell her that if she can't live with these rules that she is 20 years old and is free to move out. You are babying her! If you don't help your daughter find confidence in her abilty to take care of herself she may live with you FOREVER!!! or at least rely on you each time she is "down and out"

I'm sorry I don't understand??? Who's married she is? Just ask her out for dinner, if she's single.  Good luck

i am only 13 and i would ask her what she wants. that should help you. and on her birthday let her stay home and take her shopping and tell her that you can go any where she wants for lunch and let her pick her stuff out but give her a price limit.this will give you girls some mom & daughter time. bring a caculator so she can know her limit .then take her out for ice cream she will love you all year . \n\nsincely Softballengend

Are you in school? If so, and if she has any classes with you, ask her for notes or see if she can study with you.\n\nIf you are a bit older, like a coworker, see if she's not busy for lunch.  Lunch is always safe because you only have 1 hour to eat (usually).  So if you're about to have lunch, go "hey, want to join me for lunch??" or if she's busy ask her "hey I'm getting a sandwich at Subways, want anything?".\n\nOr, if there's a party, ask her, "Hey are you going to so-n-so's party?"... and if she says yes, ask if she wants to carpool /need a ride, and if she says no, then say "you should go! it will be fun".\n\nIf you don't take that first step, you will never know if she reciprocates the same feeling.

She is probably old fashion then. She probably wants you to ask.\n                              GOOOOOOD LUCK!!!!!!

Call her to confirm the date . . . that is it.\n\nWhile you are on the date . . . make sure you get separate checks . . because if she is independent like she says she is . . . she should be willing to pay for her own meal.  If she objects . . . tell her that you are respecting her independence and since you asked me out . . . the asker is responsible for the entire bill . . . and I would rather pay my own way.

Bill,\nWhatever you do, DON'T report her.\nYou may get lucky, or she might just be nice.\nI am old enough to be your dad, but I just got my rear written up by some chick at work because I asked her if she was staying at the same hotel that the rest of us were while we were out of state.\nIt was a sexual harassment warning that could effect my life.\nNot to sound like a penile unit, but either feel her out for fun, but don't be a pud and screw her over,\nYou have the next 50 years for banging!!!

Well both are over 20 neither is working but she is looking if they don't get a job with with in a couple of weeks I would tell them he has to go! He is not your responsibility well neither is she but she is your daughter, But you do not have to support him and the $60 he gets a week should go towards bills! If he isn't paying anything then yes you have a right to tell him to get a job or what to do. Because she isn't helping out either! When she gets a job and he don't is she willing to pay for a third of everything? If she is then let her but don't pay for more then your share.  But till either or both get a job and start paying their part of the bills you have the right to tell them what to do! Sounds to me like he is a bum and wants to live off you and your daughter why she would let that happen I don't know. Talk to the father but his son is old enought to take care of himself but maybe he can help you and talk to his son and get him to go to work! Who knows he might just give you the $60 a week instead of him! GOOOOOOOOD luck!

Just go right over the top of her. Have a group meeting with the owner and voice your concerns. Ask the owner if they will talk to the manager directly, or if you think that would run downhill to everyone else, see if the owner will 'stop in' once in a while or possibly pick up a short shift. Doing that would keep the manager in line a little better or maybe the owner would catch them in the act of whatever and you could notify the owner of repeat offenses. Also putting a customer feedback box or something would inform the owner of bad 'tude from your manager.

if you have to ask, then maybe you shouldn't be parenting at all. dude, thats just not right. she probably is all fired up about going to daddy's job and you wanna take her to a whore house? come on! i totally respect your position and wish i had your job but use your head, will ya? it is no place for any juvenile. Period! call in sick and fake another job for the night so your daughter will stop wondering what you do at work. be creative. did you tell her you work at a brothel? if you did, just explain it to her. PLUS, if you DO take her and she reports it to her fellow students (which she will) or teachers, you could risk having her taken away from you. keep her outa there.

The fact that she is a manager where you work should not be an excuse for her to be able to almost blackmail you into fathering a child you are not ready for.  If it was the other way around and she was the male in this situation then it would be almost sexual harassment and there are avenues you can go down to get it stopped.\n17 is way too young to be thinking of having a child.  You will change so much in the next few years, and who you are now is not going to be who you are when you reach 24.  technically you are not even recognised as an adult, whereas she is 24 and has a child already.\n  I think you need to be honest, tell her this is freaking you out.  That you don't want to bring a child into the relationship when you have a lot of growing to do yourself, first.  Depending on how strong her urge to have another child is, she will either be reasonable and understand, or she will be out there finding another potential father.
