What do you think of overprotective dads?
I think they need an eye opening.
Actually, I am overprotective of both my kids. I have 1 son and 1daughter. My first son was killed, who was just a baby ( 2 days old). I couldn't protect him like I wanted to, very long story. Ever since then I've done everything in my power to protect my 2 living children. I think I have a right to be overprotective in my situation.
Yes of course
May I ask what happened to him?
@RandomLoser I'll discuss in pm. I don't want to say publicly
@RandomLoser I'll discuss in private
They create entitled women.
A dad should discipline his daughter everytime she does something bad instead of blaming someone else. He should spank her, and maybe force her to give him a blowy joey.

I have NEVER met ANY child who hubristically thinks they're 'not old enough' to merit participation in 'adult' activities & privileges... THEREFORE,
it is pragmatically incumbent to PREPARE your kids BEFORE someone ELSE does!
'School' them in the underlying origins of tongue kissing; ... encourage them to EXPLORE their body's sensitivities SAFELY and in private... BEFORE some self-serving Pedophile exploits the 'naughty thrilling sensation' of engaging in the 'forbidden' of someone's warm breath as they nibble your kid's ear raising exciting 'delicious goose bumps' and wakens their nascent sexual responses with knowing fingers probingly navigating their genitals--- Protracted naivete and illusory 'innocence' only sets your children up to BE 'prey'.
IF they get to experience their body's innate reactions SAFELY, they THEN can 'divorce' their reactions... from the circumstances 'engineered' to partake in them by exploitive strangers or playmates.
MOST exploratory teen experiences are but circumstantially 'objectification' as a means to an end, with LITTLE concern for the long term consequences to YOUR daughter and HER emotions.
YOU can change THAT!
I think it depends a lot on what form the odor protection takes. If the father is intent on keeping his daughter away from boys or men that can be a problem and will probably lead to Rebellion on the part of the child. On the other hand he gives a good advice about the way men behave and how to deal with men that can be a bonus. Like anything else this has to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and there is no blanket statement that would be appropriate in this particular instance. That being said, I hope that fathers teach their daughters to be decent to other men and to not behave in an entitled and nasty fashion like so many young girls do. The fact of the matter is that the way family courts in the United States function, probably 50 to 60% of young girls have no meaningful contact with their fathers as they grow up and I think that probably accounts for their subsequent ugly behaviour. They learn it from their mothers, and they don't have enough contact with fathers or father figures to counterbalance the problems that the mothers create.
You are right but these dad's tend to criticize women for doing the same for their sons.
They massive hypocrites
Be so glad their there
They may be a very good judge of character your not willing to give them credit for or that as long as they r alive scum punks dressed in designer cloths raised by schools no matter what bullshits they flash to enchant you with not heartless fag who wouldn't recognize his own mother let alone respect her in a meaningful way.. charm their way to you life turn u from your family manipulating my love my protectiveness toward my daughter. .. it his duty to do that love for it cause so may let go to what end... if he's secure your with a good man he'd back off but till his pussy ass won't come a shake my hand n at least tell my face I he loves and intend to marry your unti u r capable of distinguishing an honest sincere good man from a prissy fagot who needs trophy girl peice of ass to show his daddy he's gonna marry so he can access his trust fund. I'm sorry hell no you won't go. .. over his body you want some thing between your legs get back on that mechanical bull in barn it misses u
Overprotecting parents just make it harder for their Children to grow.
If you really want your daughters to be happy, Just educate them properly with the scope of decent socialization (let them interact with people a little). And then when they come into age, marry them quickly to a decent person. Take their wishes into account also, but don't be so overprotective that it becomes harder for them to marry.
Girls raised by overprotective dads are not mentally proper in most cases I think. After a certain age human needs a certain amount of freedom. Many hate their parents later for their parents being overprotective.
Agree completely
I know because my parents was also overprotective. It is hard for me even being a boy. And most irritating part is when your parents say they are doing what is good for you.
I mean, at the age of 19, I have a decent amount of judgement abilities myself right? Then why try to interfere in everything I do. Lol.
These dad's are even worse because they are aggressive
Sorry, typing mistake. They are still overprotective. I mistakenly wrote it in past tense. Lol.
It's actually both of my parents. My mom always think that whatever she is doing is for my good and she is right. (At least it seems like it) lol.
I think it's cute. I think overprotective moms are less cute. If you wanna know why, it's because I think, at least on average, it is easier for a girl to find support. If her dad was overprotective and she couldn't burst out of the shell at some early age as a result, she might have some people hold her hand, help her through it. It is much harder for guys to find that kind of support if they had overprotective parents. I am not this type of incel/MGTOW type. But they might have a point there. A young guy who doesn't know WTF to do is fucked much more than a young woman.
Besides there is this yin/yang thing there, no? If I had son, I would be harsh towards him. And my wife will play sweetheart. If I had daughter, I would be sweet towards her, and my wife would be harsh. Because empathetic people like us need experience in each other's shoes to be harsh. I can't be harsh towards daughter. I have no idea what it is like to be girl. I can be harsh towards son because I have an idea.
I disagree, I think there is support for both.
I treated my kids equally, one daughter, 2 sons and they are all fine
I think that is good -- but maybe you overlapped our roles? Are you single mother? I think it is noble if so. But in two-parent household, I gotta admit my ignorance here. Good cop, bad cop, you know? I rely on my wife to be bad cop with daughter. She can rely on my to be bad cop with the son.
I can't find it in myself to be cold and harsh and discipline people if I can't click to what tempted them to behave badly, you know? Maybe if I was single-parent, I'll be forced to learn that -- the hardest way. But I don't know shit right now. So I'm almost certainly gonna lean towards overprotective towards a daughter until I know better -- until I know her limits. But I will still put her on a good regiment of push-ups and laps every day -- and triple if she misbehaves. But never hit her. I need my wife to hit her if someone has to hit her.
No, I raised them with their dad.
I think it depends on your viewpoints and values, and I interfered with my husbands actions if I thought they were innapropriate and vice versa, with my son or daughter.
He did hit her and my dad hit me too, so it really depends.
I think you are on the more protective side of dads. I have a friend who had a dad like that. He never hit her or was mean to her, but her mom beat the living shit out of her.
I don't think I could let my wife beat my daughter either. But I don't know about overprotective. I just wanna try to judge what is healthy for her and err on that side before she's old enough to know better than me -- and "old enough" in my book might range from 18 to mid-20s. Well -- as long as she's living in my house, you know. It does get a little bit sexist maybe -- I got conceptions of girls that wants to err on the side of tenderness, protectiveness, more than guys... but not *that* much! If I have a sort of soft son with tender heart, I will do like that towards him too... and if I got badass daughter, then I set her free more. I just think for the sort of classical/stereotypical "girl" -- someone got to protect him/her. I deliberately put "him" here because even if a guy acts that way, he will need to be protected.
I understand their concerns, but at the same time, it aggravates me.
For instance, I have one friend who is female. Her father won't allow her to walk in a public park with me in the middle of the day without her sister there to supervise.
I find it a little insulting. I'd never hurt her.
Horrible
I think you are combining two ideas. The Overprotective dad worries about where their daughter is at all times, wants to screen their dates, is reluctant to let them be friends with anyone who could be a bad influence, and is very concerned about their daughter's performance in school and her reputation. These are normal parenting concerns but the overprotective dad takes it to the next level.
Some dads have a very tight bond with their daughter aka "daddy's little girl". In some cases, this means that the daughter is given many gifts rather than learning the value of hard work, which leads to the child being "spoiled".
The two concepts are not mutually exclusive. Often a father is overprotective of "daddy's little girl". But an unloving father can also be overprotective if he views his children as if they were property that the he is responsible for.
I don't necessarily think of those parents who spoil and praise their children all the time as over-protective. This always struck me as a kind of arrogance (my children deserve better and more than other children). I see over-protectiveness as assuming that their daughters will get in trouble. This doesn't necessarily mean seeing them as trouble-makers so much as naïve. To me, being over-protective is an understandable excess. Defending bad behavior because YOUR daughter could never do bad things is much harder to be sympathetic toward.
My son is still a toddler, but I expect him to be a gentleman when he grows up, to treat women with respect. He will have to deal with me if he doesn't.
Similarly, I expect a girl to behave like a lady towards him, not a whore. And if she doesn't, I'll be taking that up with her parents.
My boy's behaviour is a reflection of my success or failure as a father, why would it be any different if I had a daughter?
I also hate it, my older sister was spoiled by my parents and is perfect at everything she does in my parent's eyes, it quite annoying, I plan on spoiling my daughters a little bit but I will know that they aren't angels or anything like that.
Oh bless you, I hate when parents do that
As a kid its good to know your family cares about you and supports you. However, I do agree, there is a place for tough love. It may cause division and may strongly negatively impact their relationship but sometimes you have to call out important things to save them as a person rather than just keep enabling them to walk down the wrong path
It's because of their overprotective nature that their kids end up that way. I have seen it with a friend
Sad...
You mean "parents"
It is the job of parents to be protective. You cannot expect them to be aware of every quirk in their child. Sure some kids are assholes, but you take it up with their parents in gracious terms and with evidence.
Parents have lives to live too. You cannot expect them to drop everything and police their child on hearsay and rumour alone.
Parents being over-protective, or over-defensive of their children (and teaching their kids that they're always right and entitled to everything) is a HUGE problem in modern society. What is really needed is for people to be taught personal responsibility.
They can say whatever they want, try to scare us etc etc etc. In the end we will always do whatever we want too.
So true
I could never get along with an over-protective dad.
Same here
Yea dat normal when daddy got no clue. That girls age 12 13 are the absolute worst. Just looking for trouble. They Know verything. betray their friends... lie lie lie and to mama.. tlots of grounding... Give a spanking here and there.. how iit goes in my house.. same way when I was coming up and it made me act like a more respectful girl when I got up around 16
That's not overprotective, but I get what you're saying. Honestly, my dad used to be like that but then I got in a fistfight at school over something and.. well my dad didn't like that
To every parent they think that there child is God Sent lol and that's not being overprotective it's just the love.
You ton a bank they will. Think you did it for helping someone else or family or there might be some reasonable reason for you doing that deed 😂
I may have been one but not to curb their sexual desires. I always tried to protect them from themselves when they tried something new. I was a Girl Scout leader at one point and I was very protective of them and my own daughters from outside influences by men. I protected by girls when they were learning to drive by showing them what to do in panic situations. Teaching them how to survive is a father's duty. If that overprotecting then I guess I was.
