My 10 year old daughter is embarrassed of me!
 

I left work early on Friday so I could take my daughter gymnastics as I rarely get a chance to.

"Come on Daisy, get my car keys and lets go"

"Can Mummy take me"

"Why?"

"Just because..."

"You are always asking me to take you though, so I left early so I could, get my keys and we can get going or we'll be late"

10 year old daughter enters the room and gives me Mummy's car keys

"These are Mummy's keys, go and get mine"

"Why can't we go in Mummy's car?"

"Because I have started mine for over a week and it needs a run"

"But please..."

SOUND OF A PENNY FINALLY DROPPING!


"Is there something wrong with my car?"
"Yeah it's well embarrassing!"

"I thought you liked it and thought it was cool?"

"Yeah, but only if nobody sees me in it!!!"

So I took her in the other car and tried hard not to be grumpy, she is only 10 and a few days but already embarrassed of me.

I have to admit I am a bit the same, but I only use it occassionally and it seems pointless to get anything better.

I do remember my old man having a really **** car and me feeling the same so I sort of feel for her...

Don't worry, they are scared you will embarrass them for the rest of their lives.

You will not be allowed to talk to their friends, definitely not their boyfriends. You must not dance at their weddings etc. It is your job to dispense cash and never been seen.

Part of the unwritten rules of fatherhood. Oh and big no no is to look at an attractive girl whilst driving with them in the car. or is is :-

Dad you pervert, she is in my class!

Oh and the reason I was never allowed to drop them at school was because I played classic FM and their friends may hear when the open the door.

If you ain't embarassing you kids you ain't living life to the full - its a parents job!

It never stops, Mum gets better at it with every passing year.

I think if it were my daughter I would be having a quiet conversation about how it made me feel too.
