Interesting questions a parent never thinks they'll be asked:
Would you bail your daughter's boyfriend out of jail?
Would you bail your daughter's boyfriend out of jail?
"I won't be home for supper." I like that answer. I need to teach my kids that that's what they should do if they wind up in jail.Astronuc said:If I got myself in trouble, I did not expect my parents to bail me out. The one time I was arrested, I simply called my parents to tell them that I would not be home for supper. I simply expected to handle it myself.
I don't think I have a record. The charges were dropped for lack of evidence.FredGarvin said:The one time you got arrested?! Holy moley! Astro's got a record!
I would have to say the depends, not only on the conditions surrounding the arrest, but also it would depend heavily on whether I liked the kid.

SAME HEREI hate automobile manufacturers. I hate their marketing companies. I hate oil companies. I hate the DMV. I hate the highway patrol. I hate virtually all police officers. I hate traffic. I hate smog. I hate all of it. The penalties for stupid paperwork violations for a stupid car can involve thousands of dollars and days in jail. Give me break! It's all just an enormous scam... a revenue generator. I opt out of it as much as possible.

Depends. On if he was my son or not.Would you bail your daughter's boyfriend out of jail?
Astronuc said:1. I'd leave him in jail for at least one night - to let him think it over. He is showing poor judgement and disregard for the law!
2. If it was my daughter, I would say "No way in H@! are you going to marry this idiot! Think about how irresponsible this moron is - and that's what he'd be like as a husband."
Don't do it that way, or she'll just be waiting for you to die. Or run away with a man and break your heart before you figure out that she's not a child anymore. Well that had a lack of humor...When I have kids, and If i have a daughter, she will not be allowed to have boyfriends
That's pretty much the advice my wife had.wolram said:But Astro some times guys like this can turn out ok, i would still bail him out but i would make it clear to him that this is his one and only get of jail free card, and i would tell my daughter the same, from then on it would be her judgment if she stays with him, some times steping between two people can cause a family split.
