fathers and daughters
Mothers get most of the recognition but a good father is instrumental.( props to mothers still). Bear with me.
The relationship or lack thereof with a father in a girl's life is extraordinarily important. It basically ends up shaping for the most part how that girl eventually ends up relating to men. So a relationship with a father may end up being more important during the teenage years of a girl because that is when she is most susceptible to predatory vices.
I have a friend who is a school teacher who is constantly telling me of young girls who are heading fast down the wrong path. Drugs, fights, sex in school bathrooms caught on cellphone( yea, i shook my head too). And the one constant factor is a missing father. Now I am not trying to say that without a father figure a girl cant turn out to be a success. I am just saying that in most cases it makes a huge difference.
that father should be there to let his daughter know that he loves her, that he expects good things of her, he should be there in case of disappointment. he should be there to be the support at times.
If I ever had a daughter and she became pregnant young I dont see any other choice than I would have to be an anchor. Yea I would be pissed, I might rant and rave and might even say things I dont really mean.
But then I will go back and apologize and tell her that I wont be turning my back on her or throwing her out of the house. because in my opinion that is irresponsible.
I have seen how kids having kids starts a vicious cycle. And if I have a daughter in the future, believe that I wont be the one to start this vicious cycle.

Fathers be good to your daughters/and daughters will love like you do/girls become lovers and turn into mothers/so mothers be good to your daughters too...
I am glad that u said this. But it isnt only women that benefit from the presence of their fathers.. also men. And sometimes even tho a father figure might be present it may not be a good one. But i like this blog.
