Now that Garth Brooks’ three girls are out of the house, he’s an absolute expert on how to raise daughters. Maybe. I guess you’ll decide when you read his Five Tips for Raising Daughters . . .
1. Always be on call. Because sure enough, something will happen.
2. Let them fail. You can’t succeed if you don’t know what losing is.
3. Put them to work. Have them wait tables. Once you’ve waited on people and cleaned toilets, it makes you very mindful of how you treat others.
4. Test their dates right away. Have her driving at 16 . . . and then make sure she drives on the first date. That way, if something goes wrong, she can come home.
5. Always set consequences. If the grades drop, the cell phones get taken away.
