To any dads out there, or if you're expecting or planning on having kids, etc

My girl's dad had to ask me to date her. Kinda like a bone around an ugly kids neck to get the dog to play with them.
LOLOLOLOL

I was thinking about this today, If I had a daughter I really wouldn't want her to be around boys at all. Because I see the way it is with my friends and I now and it seems like she would be at a huge risk to be taken advantage of. However, If I had a son I wouldn't really care at all I would just try to make sure that he's safe and wraps it up. I just think that boys know how to take care of themselves better at this age. That's hypocritacle but that's how I feel.
Im 16 btw.

i'm the same way. i have a older sister and i'm so overprotective because at our age guys just wanna get laid

Raise them the best you can, let them know you're the #1 person they can talk to about drugs, alcohol, sex, anything bad they've done, etc., let them know you're no threat, but demand respect, spoil them rotten, (if you don't ever give them shit to make them happy, they won't be.) when they do bad things, let them know why you believe it's bad, but never bitch, always let them have a say in the matter, they're just like you. Never call them stupid, or say you're going to hurt them in any way, they'll reflect that same feeling right back. MAKE them do their homework if you have to, again, never bitch and yell, tell them why you feel that way, let them say what ever they feel.

Personally, I believe the whole part of parenting is having a good relationship. How are you going to protect them if they won't talk to you or listen to you?

exactly
you cant live their life for them or your life through them. Best you can do is teach them the best you can about how things happen and that its not all rosebuds.

You CANNOT stifle your children!

They will either rebel or become spineless.

Keep them from dying or doing hard drugs; other than that, let them live.
