I always avoided this Section because it said "Woman's"
But I got inspired by the "Dad needs Help" Thread!!
I have an 11 year old Daughter, and I have issues...
First, she is way too much like me, and at 11...I was smoking ciggs, weed, lying to my Parents...all that--
I also have a 21 year old Daughter, and she was very easy to deal with...altho not at the time!! But yeah, she didn't get interested in Boys till she was like 16...and she is engaged with the same boy now!! I thought I had it tough with her!! lol
My 11 year old is now Officially Boy Crazy tho-- And she is always wanting to take off for the afternoon...saying things like, "We are just going walking around"...and other things that I used to tell my Parents when I was up to no good--
My Quandary is...What is the line between being a good Parent, and being an overbearing Parent??
Damn...I guess with all this weed...I forgot we have a lot of Ladies here..to help us mere males out with life's confusing questions--
I am 49, so I really feel I am out of touch with what she is going through...but I want to be a Supporting Dad...but not a "Pushover" Dad--
If anybody recognizes what I am trying to ask here, please help me out...as I am more than confused by all this--
Should I be Strict?? Should I be "Understanding"...with the possibility of letting her "Work" me??
Help??
