Fathers and Daughters

[leothelioness]

For the fathers here, do you realise just how important your relationship with your daughters is? Do you realise that how you treat them and interact with them will determine how they will act with a man someday?

I really wanted to ask this based on my own relationship with my father. I wanted to know if other fathers know how much of an impact you have on your daughters and how much you shape their lives, actions and opinions of men.

I know this may sound absurd coming from a 21 year old, but please let your daughters know just how much you love and cherish them because I would have loved to have experienced that from mine.

Good post.

Treat your daughters the way you would want her future boyfriend and husband to treat her. Teach her that she's not a door mat or an object for men, that she is to expect men to treat her like a lady and to respect her.

I have 2 daughters as you can see from my signature. They know exactly how precious they are to me. I am the original bragging dad.

I approve of this post.

Good thread all around.

Yes, I realize how important my relationship is with her. I love my daughter . . . words are hard. As a family we have been through . . . . well, she will never be taken for granted, that is for sure. Of course having survived what we have, I find myself working a little harder than most fathers at building that relationship and already I'm teaching her (at two years old) the fundamentals of a martial art. As she grows up, we'll continue to add whatever is age appropriate. I am looking forward to helping her be as self reliant as I was as a kid. All the things she gets to learn, I am looking forward to. Looking forward to teaching her how to use the guns, how to write poetry, how to clean & cook an animal & to sew. I plan to be there guiding and supporting in all that and so much more.

Well, we have a doctor's appointment in the AM, so I'd better close out . . .
