<![CDATA[How do fathers cultivate their r/ships with their girls?]]>Seems like for new teenagers who get a lot of internet/trend/meme/ exposure from their friends, they perhaps would like a dad who is "cool" and are able to relate to them. I think dads need to do some homework on what is trending among teens to be able to have a conversation which is relevant to them.

I realize it has a lot to do with one's personality. My hubby is still a boy at heart while i am more of no-nonsense type. It is hard and painful for me when i tried to play with my daughter like a child.


Well, i try to contribute in feeding them well.
Actually at 15 she doesn’t need you to play like a child with her anymore. There are many things that mums can do that with teenage daughters that dads usually don’t. And all the things that you say your husband is doing, you can do as well if you want to. It may also be something new to you if you didn’t do much with your mother during the adolescent years so you have no role model to follow. But how you do it is as important, if not more, than what you actually do. It is a cliche, but sometimes all they need from you is a listening ear.

Don’t envy. Partner your husband in those activities s’times.

It’s good that fathers play an active role as your girl grows up & in her teenage days esp, she needs that sense of a father figure to inform her how a gentleman shld be, how a man shld treat a lady & how bonding shld be. That’s where she can find her footing with that Mr Right.

Not that she must find a father-figure in her future spouse, but that a man shld treat a lady as a lady & always be gentlemen ’ not rough or abusive. That’s also why I’d suggest you participate in the co-parenting process - go outing, cycling, play board games as a family unit. At times, I feel it’s OK to let them bond unless u’ve other issues not shared as yet.

Co-parent & Model that stable family that gives that sense of well-being.

He is very patient in helping her when she first took up cycling. He could engage her easily with table games or impromtu games on the go. He reads to/with her.


She is so close to him that i envy him sometimes…

Its a staple for our family, and promotes bonding

Girls tend to chit chat more and it helps to build the bond.

And once the little lady starts toddling around, I would get down on the floor — on her level — and play with her.

Could depend on the characters of wife and husband... I am goofy around daughter, whereas wife is more serious and proper. Daughter speaks goofy language with me, does rougher things like kick paper soccer, play fighting .. and i feel the bonding whenever she finds me for these activities that she likes to do. altho i am hoping she dont grow up too fast .. i still cherish these days.

my hubby is the one coaching daughter in her work...other than that, he brings her out to cycle and play wii games. he is the one she will approach if she wants to buy anything...naturally she prefers to go out with daddy because they love to eat tidbits. yes, they play fighting too.

DD1 is closer to her father. They can discuss about movies and share the same hobby, photography. Hubby drive her to school and I suppose that constitute bonding time. DD2 is closer to me but perhaps because she is only 5.

For me,DD1 is closer to my wife while DD2 is very sticky to me and can chat about her friends in school,growing up years in Malaysia,her reliance on ZehZeh and how she enjoyed staying with us in Singapore.
