Every Father's Worst Nightmare

I almost feel a sickness in my gut just thinking about it.

I get nauseous just picturing what I found in my 10 year-old daughter's overnight bag.

You know, sometimes the harsh reality of being the father of a little girl really knocks you down and takes the wind right out of you.

Next to my daughter's overnight bag, I found..

THIS:

bieber fever
That's my daughter's Nintendo DS case.

Apparently she has "Bieber Fever."

I feel like throwing up.

  1. Oh crap! I'd want to vomit too.

    I guess it's no different from 20yrs ago and every girl (except me, seriously, I listened to G'n'R) was writing "I <3 NKOTB" on their arms with permanent marker. OH JOEY, AHHHHHHH!

  2. Bright side--at least you didn't find it in your son's bag.

  3. Oh come on you pussy! At least she likes a cheesy dude with lesbian hair, it could be worse. I mean she could have Jared Leto fever or something grotesque like that. :) That douche has no soul.

  4. Also? I just spat out coffee at Abby's comment. Hahaha!

  5. Man, you are so done.

    And it's only the beginning.

    But take heart, she'll have many different "fevers" after Beiber's.





    That didn't help did it?

  6. Here's another silver lining: At least they are learning to spell. You know. "I before E, except after C..."

  7. One word...convent. Do it, Now. Don't let it go any further.

  8. After the Queensrÿche post, I think you need an honest-to-god guitar intervention with your daughter. Teach her the majesty of the guitar solo. It's not too late.

    ReplyDelete
  9. -->It could be worse. She could have written it on her birth control case.

  10. Abby said what I was gonna say. Also. Good sign that she likes boys. So she's probably thinking about making out with him. Or more....

  11. Eeek Bieber Fever!!! How do you cure that? That sounds really gross, isn't that what you get from drinking dirty well water in Canada?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giardiasis

    Gotta watch out for that Canadian stuff.

  12. Have you had THE TALK with her yet? You know the one about Santa Claus, the Easter bunny, and teen pop stars.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Lady: I was the same way as a boy except it was the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders and Lita Ford.

    Abby: Truer words? Never spoken.

    Veggie: Justin Bieber is a boy?!

    Mrsblogalot: you're killing me.

    Linnnn: Where's the 'C' in Bieber? Am I missing something?

    Christina: Right. Like the church is any better.

    John: That's what I don't understand. Her iPod is all 'judas priest' and 'queensryche' and 'iron maiden' and then BIEBER?!?

    WebSavvy: Oh. Listen. I have palpitations.

    Thanks for that.

    Momma: What is wrong with you women?

    PBScott: I thought when you drank dirty water in Canada you got Labatt's.

    Laughingmom: Don't rush me. She's only 10.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I think you should just drown her and start over.
    Too harsh?

    ReplyDelete
  15. I don't know the cut-off age in your state, but you might still be able to drop her off at the firehouse and abandon her. Just a thought.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I had the same problem. It's too late. Once they write on things...just sayin'. Nicely enough, America has designed pajamas with him on it and my mother bought some for my daughter's birthday...now she has Justin Beiber on her ass.

    It could be worse. At least lunchboxes can get lost...

    Perhaps the washing machine can eat pajamas...

    Hey, be happy it doesn't say "I love Rebecca Black".

    Or Barry Manilow.

  20. A clockwork orange. That's where I get all of my parenting tips.

  21. I didn't know your daughter was into girls... :O

  22. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!!! Better you than me. :D Have fun at the concert she is going to drag you to. :D

    It could be worse.

    I love Tiger Blood. Future Goddess Z.

    See?

  24. At least it's not Chris Brown or Enimem. For now, anyway.
    Next thing you know you'll be buying her the American Girl book called "The Care and Keeping of You" and reading with her about proper girl hygiene and her period.
    AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have two daughters, but I'm a girl, so there's that. I can handle it. I live it.

    ReplyDelete
  25. just wait until you find the sticky water bottle filled with cheap peach-flavored vodka. i thought i had taught my daughter better by only having grey goose in the house.

  26. My daughter recently got bieber fever, I did think an intervention was called for but I'm hoping it's just a phase!

    ReplyDelete
  27. awe

    that is all

  28. Oh...I thought you found condoms. Never mind...

    ReplyDelete
  29. Stage an intervention. Usually Bieber is a gateway...

    ...a gateway to HELL

    ReplyDelete
  30. And it is forever emblazoned on her Nintendo DS case? You poor dear. But would it have been any better no matter who the boy was? Really??

    ReplyDelete
  31. Yikes, good luck with THAT. Beiber Fever is almost impossible to cure.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Get her some of the pajamas Momma Fargo mentioned. Then she can tell her friends she's sleeping with Justin!

  34. Noooooo! Luckily, my daughter hasn't been bitten by the Bieber bug. Don't think I could live with myself. I feel your pain.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I'm sorry Moog. If it makes you feel any better my 10 year old niece does the same thing.

    If THIS makes you feel better, well it would except it failed. I slipped arsenic into his drink and the only thing that happened was his hair got even gayer.

    No shit.

    ReplyDelete
  36. It could be worse.....at least it wasn't on a tattoo!

    ReplyDelete
  37. I'd feel like throwing up too! lol! Hopefully her taste in "men" gets better over the years.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I just threw up in my mouth a little. And sent it back down...

    Ugh dude, my most sincere condolences. Back in the day it was the Hanson brothers, now this?

    ReplyDelete
  39. Love it and we stole some stuff...sorry lol

  40. When I was that young I was planning my underage wedding to all three members of the Police.
    The joy of being that age is thinking that everyone in the band can live in your gingerbread house with you everything in perfect harmony.
    The bacchanalian orgies and golden god moments don't factor in until you are around 14/15.

  41. I have Beaver Fever, but that's a little different.

    How are you so calm!? I'd be freaking out! Bieber Fever is DANGEROUS! Don't they have innoculations or dips or a something to cure your precious daughter of this terrible disease. Ugh...that kid is the bane of my existance. Yuck! This disease just keeps spreading and spreading. Some women my age (30) have recently come down with it...I'm wearing a face mask like I like I am afraid of SARS...I refuse to catch it!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Wow, I can see why you're upset. Your daughter likes chicks. Just kidding!
    But....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not kidding.
    You have my condolences.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I can totally relate.

    To her! Ich bin ein Belieber, too! :)

    Where did you go wrong?

    ReplyDelete
  46. So I guess you're going to be one of those parents lining up for tickets to the Justin Bieber movie... IN 3D!

    ReplyDelete
  47. dude. from the thumbnail, I thought it was gonna be birth control or something. it's lame, but it could be worse. she could like Chris Brown.

    ReplyDelete
  48. If she's playing her DS, listening to Rebecca Black, and you find an empty pregnancy test package in the bathroom trashcan, THEN you should worry.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I hear there are places you can send her to pray it away.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I'm such a rocker, I'd maybe cry.
    Give her some time to see the light. All girls around that age are susceptible to this, sadly. My condolences.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I think I just threw up in my mouth. Hopefully she'll come to her senses. After all, I loved Rick Astley back in the day and you can see how far he got!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Gah. Bieber. A name that strikes fear... or disgust, rather into the heart of a rock and roll girl born and raised. Gah. Kids these days. Thank god I'm actually an old man disguised as a teenager.

    ReplyDelete
  53. You are so screwed man. I'm sorry.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Could be worse. I think "I have Dick Cheney fever!" would have been a bit more alarming.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Just be grateful she hasn't (yet?) done something like this:
    http://www.shoutingatco.ws/blog/2011/03/18/angry-mother-is-angry/
    PS I'm feeling pretty smug here as my elder daughter (who's 9) DOESN'T like the Biebs - she much prefers my eclectic (some would say crappy) tastes, like Springsteen, Train, Adele, Glee soundtracks (her fave? The Doors' "Hello, I love you"), Lloyd Cole... Oh, of course she also likes Rihanna and Katy Perry, so maybe I shouldn't be so smug after all... (no MILEY either thank God)

    ReplyDelete
  56. At least it wasn't a pos pregnancy test... that be the "my daughter turned 16" post..

    ReplyDelete
  57. hahahaha. could have been worse I suppose...

    ReplyDelete
  58. I hear nausea one of the early signs of Bieber Fever?

    ReplyDelete
  59. Be thankful it wasn't a bra, a tampon or a diary about how she has been making out with boys so they'll buy her ice cream.

    Seriously, I was expecting a pic of a bra.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Maybe she was writing it to be ironic. You should talk to her. Because if she actually meant it, it's time to start thinking about sending her to one of those brainwash camps.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I just threw up a little in my mouth.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Oh my god, you poor bastard! If you're holding an intervention let me know... I'll bring some Bad Religion CD's

    ReplyDelete
  63. Could be worse, she could like Rebecca Black

    ReplyDelete
  64. Really. I concur. At least Bieber is wealthy and has a nice job. LOL.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Ok, kind of going against the tide here, but I saw the Bieber movie with my pre-teen daughter, and I'm kind of a Belieber now. Even more confessions: pre-teen daughter had no interest in the movie until I dragged her to it, then she went on to see it 3 more times with her buddies.
    On second thought. Yikes! What have I done?

    ReplyDelete
  66. I took the boyfriend's daughter to see the Bieber movie.
    It wasn't as bad as I thought.
    (I am so ashamed of myself)
    I am a recovering BSB and NSYNC/NKOTB-ER....
    Anyway, if he comes around here, I can bite the bullet and take em both.

    Funny part: In the movie he performs with Ludacris, and Usher... and They are DECENT performers. So I was all excited about that part.
    Kid went home and told her dad and then over to mom's house: "Laura only danced around and got excited when the black guys came out"
