Re: When you have a daughter....
Mike Royko had a great column about this.
He wrote about a friend of his who had teenage daughters. When the young suitors would show up, and the girls would make them wait ("She'll be right down!"), the guy's wife would say, "Why don't you take Billy down to the cellar, and show him your model train set?"
Once in the cellar, Royko's friend would get right in the kid's face, and make all his threats. This way, the daughter never knew about it, and didn't give him a hard time.
