No I am saying there is a happy medium. You can't be absent and let them run wild but you can't be over bearing. You teach your kids to be smart and make good decisions and then you allow them freedom to navigate their world.

I have no teenage daughters...but id imagine being told that she hates you is some kind of rite of passage. My sisters both had this stage and both grew out it and have great relationships with our dad.

Id say the best advice ive ever heard dealing with women/daughters etc is to always be the strong unmovable oak tree when their storm rages

Yeah, you’re wrong and your reasoning is stupid

Not everything is about the quest for getting laid and obtaining possessions.

Never once in my parenting have I thought - oh daughter, you don’t have to pick up dishes because it’ll be easier for you to get laid when you’re older

frick off


Thats not the point. The point is that at least some of the issues teens have are based on hormonal change which, like it or not, is linked to their sexuality. It is far easier for a young girl to find someone who will say what they want to hear in that area than it is for a young boy. Threatening to put that young girl in the street would actually facilitate her immature wishes and would make that sleazy fricker doing the talking job easier. Doing the same thing to a boy does not in any way make his hormonal urges easier to satisfy.

And you are completely off base when you claim not everything we do is about getting laid....we are not unique in the animal or plant kingdom, our every action is aimed at facilitating the procreation of the species just as it is for ALL living organisms on the planet. It is the height of human hubris to pretend otherwise. Possessions are all about getting laid. Eating is all about surviving long enough to procreate. There is only ONE reason to be alive and that is to procreate. It is nature doing what nature does. Building sky scrapers or producing great works of art is not something we do for our own satisfaction...it is to attract a mate to procreate. frick off your damned self, deny it all you like, but reductive as it is that is the only reason life exists is for the sake of existing itself which requires, at its base, procreation or getting laid....

You might want to remember that she can do anything before 11 that she could have done after 11. Making her come home doesn’t really change anything.
Within a few months she will be away at school or in the service. You seem to accept that she will be on your control then. Actually, she is beyond your control now.
Hope you raised your right and be there to support her.

Meh she might not be 18 **quite** yet but she's graduated high school. The days of you laying down the law telling her what she can and can't do are over. Time to accept that and treat her like an adult or alienate her and destroy your relationship with her.

This is some weak arse shite and a really troubling way of viewing men and women.


It is not my POV it is reality. Deny it all you like the fact of the matter is that teenagers acting a fool is based in large part on hormonal changes in the body as a result of SEXUAL maturation. Those changes are very similar in males and females but societal expectations are VASTLY different. Those differences mean a different experience for men and women. A 15 year old boy is hard pressed to find someone who will pay lip service to the idea of someone feeding, housing and doing the things for them that a parent does where as a 15 year old girl, unfortunately, can find any number of people who will actually do those things until they get what they want from the girl. Young people are immature, they ain't stupid...they know this, and it behooves parents to refrain from being politically correct and accept that there is indeed a difference. It is damn near impossible for a boy to find someone who will treat them as their parents will, it is all too easy for an immature girl to be convinced that someone else will be better to them. These are simple facts of life that apparently make some uncomfortable but they are facts all the same....

What y'all seem to be saying is that the threat to immature boys and girls to fall for sexual predators is equal because males and females are equal. Pretend all you care to that this is so but the statistics, according to the DOJ, is that 99% of those accused of statutory rape are male and 95% of their victims are female. It is obvious to any mature person who is not mentally challenged that young women are at far greater risk for being sexually victimized in some manner than young boys. That in turn means that young women, immature and going through a dramatic change in body chemistry, are presented with FAR more opportunity to make a bad decision than their male counterpart is. You can wash your hands of an immature male child and it will do nothing to enhance his ability to accomplish what he, like all living organisms, sole purpose in life is and that is to procreate. You doing the same thing with an immature female child can and certainly does make it possible for some sleazy bastard to convince her he is now her daddy. Its different and pretending otherwise for the sake of political correctness is problematic for kids who need parents to protect them.

this isn’t even true - do you work with kids at all? Most boys are catered to and get every single material thing that they want.

so you’re saying girls want to have sex more than boys do - that’s news to me

except for gay people, plus there are many people who may play the game but don’t really (and maybe shouldn’t) want to have kids.

no doubt about it but in this case she must still respect the house rules, if all rules are over just because she turned 17 why were there rules to begin with? when my son(who lives out of state,) wants to come for a visit and says he's bringing a gf he knows they have to stay in separate rooms

It’s the case of - it’s ok for 15 year old boys to have sex, but not 15 year old girls - even though according to Awgusta, that’s all girls want. Even though the boys aren’t satisfied on the streets or something

I don't have kids, but I know teenagers are emotional. Its probably easier said than done, but take it with a grain of salt. I think I told my mom some version of 'I hate you' and she told me the feeling were mutual. I was the 3rd kid and my sister is 11 years older than me and my brother 10 years older so I guess that's why I couldn't phase my parents. Tell them something hoping to get a certain reaction and they either acted or really didn't care at all. In general, their attitude was "I don't care what you think, yo arse is going to do what I say"..

Then I learned if I didn't ask they couldn't tell me no, but she will appreciate you when she gets out of this phase.

I have two boys.

Another TD poster had a daughter tell he and I that we "have no human decency".

Other than that, I'm no help.
