Very OT but I need your views on this
My grandson turned 18 yesterday. I just spoke to my daughter (age 37) on the phone and she said her boyfriend (age 29) and my grandson went to a strip club because that's what he wanted for his birthday. It's no alcohol, just the "ladies" that dance there. I don't think it's a bit funny or appropriate. My daughter is getting a chuckle out of it. Am I making too much of this? I just have a sick feeling in my stomach thinking about it. I think my daughter and her almost fiance' should be role models for an 18 year old, not dragging him into strip clubs. Honest opinions please??

well my mom gave me a really hard time when we took my older son to atlantic city gambling when he turned 21, and i felt that better he go with us and see that you can enjoy a few hours of gambling and not spend your rent and food money, then for him to go on his own one day and spend over his head.
going to a strip club might not be your first choice of entertainment for your grandson, but in the grand scheme of things, it wont harm him if he is a mature and sensible young man.
just my 5 cents worth, have a great weekend.

Barbara,
It's probably not the first choice I would have made, but I was out on North Story Road in Irving drinking cherry vodka and necking with Ronnie Harding on my 18th.
Of course, when MY son turned 18 I made sure we had a FAMILY party for him, complete with birthday cake and cokes.... and family stuff..... and it was just a perfect birthday until my sister told him "Your mother was " out on North Story Road in Irving drinking cherry vodka and necking with Ronnie Harding on HER 18th birthday". Sheesh.....
Strip clubs just aren't the same since Shanna Alexander gave up her snake at the Busy Bee down on Irving Blvd in Dallas. That woman had some moves. Ever seen anyone put a long glove on a boob and toss it over a light pole? Twirl their pasties in different directions at once? Use a fan? Darn clubs (haven't been in YEARS) are just about a little g-string and a pole.
Guess what I want to say is..... it won't kill him. Wouldn't have been MY first choice but he'll find out what I did when I ventured into one with a date about 8 years ago.... boobies come in all sizes and shapes and I was darned glad to see where they were SUPPOSED to be. I thought they were supposed to be down by your knees!! He'll survive...now if you notice he's carrying a $100 in new dollar bills continually, you'll know he is going back.

I wasn't "pleased" either when some older buddies hauled my son into one of those places on his 18th birday! So I totally understand how you feel. (((( hugs )))) I am really surprised that your daughter TOLD you about it especially since she finds it amusing and should have known you wouldn't (be amused)! I think your daughter should have had more respect for your feelings/morals and kept her mouth shut about it.
I think it is a right of passage into manhood thing??? SOME men will be men and they are really stupid to waste good money looking at something they can't have just to get a not so cheap thrill. SOME OF US women are wired differently (thankfully).
On the positive side ... at least you know he likes girls

I'M AT GOAL! "Men will be men and they are really stupid to waste good money looking at something they can't have just to get a not so cheap thrill. We women are wired differently (thankfully)."
Really?
Hmm.... wonder how Chippendales stays in business.
Every time I read one of these generalizations about men (or women) it gets my dander up...
"WE" are not all the same... so when someone says "Men" are stupid or "Men will be men" I tend to get defensive and wonder how someone could think that they can group men or anyone together and say they are one thing..
Of course, all single women are male bashers...
Get it?
