Hi I’m a dad with all girls 2 of my girls have came out it’s been years now. I love them before and after nothing has changed I actually was at one of there weddings few months ago it was great. My question is (females) was it hard to talk to dad did he give vibes that made it hard? And what’s your advice for a dad how to adjust now knowing there preference, meaning not making things awkward and let them know I love them no matter what. I do tell them I love them but I’m not sure if they feel I’m saying it just to make them comfortable. Hopefully this makes sense.

@energeticPlane9805 Your girls don’t expect you to be feminine, what they expect from you is that you would keep your word and give them solutions. There is a space for a dad and a friend, and you should pick being a dad. They require you to talk out problems and reach a solution, not try to be their friend. The best way to say you love them, is to say that you love them no matter what.

Typical example : “ Dad I want to go to this party ( has boys and possibly drugs)
You : “ No you can’t, but if there is any party during daytime I would be happy to take you there. I am your dad , it’s my job to ensure you are protected as long as you are not an adult. I will love you no matter what and I trust you but I don’t feel comfortable with this. “
“I will drive you there and back , but you can’t be there longer than this time, and you should give me one contact to call there I case I can’t find you and need to drop you home. I will love you no matter what, but I hope I can trust you to take care of yourself and feel comfortable with the idea you can handle yourself.”
“No.However if your friends want to visit our home and have a party here, I’m for it. I feel more comfortable with that idea.”
”No, but they can hang out here in the afternoon. I don’t want to stop you from hanging out with your friends , and I’ll drop them home. “

@Happyspringseasysouth4887peace As long as they are not adults, you are their custodian and are legally responsible if anything bad happens to them. So you should let them know till they are 19, you set the rules for the house, even though you trust them and would love them no matter what.

@Happyspringseasysouth4887peace More than enforcing boundaries always keep your word. If they see you value things that matter to them, they will try to set a more positive example for their lives.
