I feel old, my daughter goes to High School tomorrow.

kgoings · 08-05-2010, 09:11 PM

Shes a really great kid, and she still thinks her mom and dad are cool

Its kinda hard to see her growing up so fast, I am sure when she graduates it will be much harder. Gonna try to just take deep breaths and smoke a good cigar tomorrow. They have the Freshman come in Friday, everyone else starts Mon, which is a pretty good idea. She is a dedicated gymnast so she stays out of trouble which is a great thing.

Heres a couple pics of her and I at the Aerosmith concert last year.

I hope you have a shotgun, my friend. The boys are going to be knocking down your door by Monday.

What a wonderful and bittersweet time! High school will fly by... enjoy it.

kelmac07 · 08-05-2010, 10:31 PM

High school? Time flies doesn't it?

neoflex · 08-05-2010, 10:51 PM

Ughhh, I feel for you brother. My daughter is still in the womb and I am already dreading the Jr High and High School years.

Enjoy the time with her as time flies like others already mentioned. I remember taking my nephew to Chucky Cheese and now he will be in a senior in High School next year. It's scary just how quickly time flies. It is nice to see you have a good relationship with her which sadly is something you don't see all that often nowadays.

Looks like you have done a fine job there Kirk.... They do grow up fast.... You think her graduating will be tough....wait until you are walking her down the isle.....

My son is the same age, they don't start until the end of the month.... We also have Jr. High here, so he will not be attending school at the High School until next year.....

First step into a bigger world... for both of you!

Good luck tomorrow!!!

Wishing you luck and your daughter success, Kirk!

You will get through it, mine starts her Senior year this year.

Chingas · 08-06-2010, 04:23 AM

Good luck Brother. A double edged sword If I was jelous of you. Sounds like a tough time but there will be much tougher to come.

Remember Brother, there are times where a Father needs to be a Father but there are others when the Father needs to be a friend.

Now comes the grey hair. The right side of my head is from my daughter, the left is from the EX. And the greatest phrase that makes you feel old "Dad, you are going to be a Grandpa!!" good luck brother

Find someone to act this scene out with: One of them young punks... (NSFW language)

For his sake, let's hope that's about 10 years or so down the road. LOL

Our oldest starts jr high next month. I remember when she first started school, and the youngest is going into 1st grade this fall. Where has the time gone?

Montano · 08-06-2010, 06:20 AM

My daughter starts high school next week, so I know EXACTLY how you feel !!

RevSmoke · 08-06-2010, 06:27 AM

High school is such a wonderful time. Oldest will be a sophomore this fall, the other still has 8th grade. Soon they'll be out of the house... Eeegads, where did the time go?

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Coach Deg · 08-06-2010, 07:16 AM

Yep!!!!!! I started to feel old when I started getting my friends kids in my classes(I teach HS). Now that I have a 9month old, I will retire when she is a Junior if things go well!!!1
