I’ll also mention that a father who owns guns and conveniently manages to always be cleaning them on the front porch when the 17 year old boyfriend stops by is a pretty good deterrent to naughty behavior.
Yeah, I was the 17 year old boy in that story...
It’s always good to put a little fear into the young bucks. Makes them think twice and brush up a little on their manners.
A family that doesn’t allow “boyfriends” would be even better.
“Oh? You want to ‘date’ my daughter? No, we don’t do that around here. Come back when you’re in a life position to support a family, and we’ll talk.”
