Okay, girls, tell me this.?

Question

what does it feel like to have a father? a dad? a male role model to turn to? can you answer me? what's it like? tell me virtually how you relate to your dad? what is the difference to what a mum provides?

Answer 1

My father symbolises protection, security, discipline and a shoulder to cry on. I go to him when I have to make tough decisions that I don't want my mum (who's hypertensive) to worry about. My relationship with my dad has always been stronger than with my mum even though I love them both. I enjoyed being daddy's little girl (I was the only girl amongst brothers). I enjoy talking to my dad about politics and issues of human rights. With my mum I talk about relationships, family matters and celebrations. They both bring in different aspects into my life that make me who I am today, and I am so glad that I still have them both. Mothers are for secrets and sympathy, they nurture you and they soften the news for fathers when we have gone wrong or something has happened that is embarrasing or difficult to explain. Mothers are always there for you through thick and thin, and always protect you from dad's wrath. All children should have the opportunity to interact with both parents to give them a full rounded experience. I believe that single parent children always miss out on a full family life that provides the influence of both a father and mother, and the burden of single parenting increases due to the absence of the other spouse. I know many people who always feel they have missed something in life because they didn't know their dad or mum.

Answer 2

My dad is the best!

Physically: He's 6 '2 and weighs about 20 stone (sorry, I don't do pounds) so he can be relied on for the really physical tasks.

Mentally: He's a strong person, he never believes in giving up, he's always telling me to keep trying, not to worry and to never get disheartened when things go wrong. He has no formal qualifications but was an apprentice mechanic and he's been self-employed for years and he earns good money.

He's old-fashioned in the sense that HE is the breadwinner and provides for the family and he always puts his kids first. He has a real sense of responsibility as a husband and a father.

He's also very protective which is quite sweet considering there are parents who don't know where their kids are most of the time.

Even though he's a big chap, he's really soft on the inside and also makes me laugh.

I've always looked up to him because he just seems so strong mentally and physically, I definitely compare guys that I meet to him and to be honest I think he's set a level that would be hard for another man to reach.

I love my mum too but she is a bit more timid than him and not willing to take risks like he does so he provides a stronger personality.

I suppose you could say I am a daddy's girl!

Answer 3

It's like having a constant companion, one that you feel safe with, someone who always listens to whatever questions you have or issues you're dealing with, and who helps with advice and sometimes gets things done when you thought you could never make them happen. My father taught me by his presence that anything is possible without having to give up my principles, he would dream along with me and if I was trying something that he'd never done before he would encourage me and see how far he could help me along. I guess it's the cream on the cake: where mothers can be mostly concerned with giving you basic necessities and fathers can be those who earn the family's living, to have a father provided me with an extra role model who also was proud and protective of his children and complemented those traits of my mother that were a bit undeveloped.

Answer 4

He's the one who taught me to change a tyre/climb a tree/kick a ball. He fixed my dolls and showed me how to check the oil on my car.
As far as he is concerned even after my three children - I have never had sex. I will always be a little girl in his eyes. He is the one I can turn to and know that he will be there.
He's my dad.
My mother is the source of all frustration - she left when me and my brothers were children. She doesn't come into the equation.

Answer 5

Dad and mom has been separated since I was just 8 years old. I had to cook , clean, teach my younger brothers and sisters and take care of myself. Dad had provided money but I needed love and care. he is strong man and compassion but I could not feel it. he married three years after the divorce and that increase the heavy loaded more and more. some time I had to give advices to my brother about their manhood things, bec dad was away. I still love him after all. because his blood still run in my body. I call him, laugh with him and he now started to encourage me to resume my education. I believe that my dad even he was not there at the time of need. he was a good support and helped my see things. I can say thanks to dad. bec the hard circumstances of the divorce made me a strong person. so thanks dad.

Answer 6

My father is the strong, hardworking, old fashioned kind of man. Rare breed , almost extinct. I love my dad, he's the best. He always provided for our family even if it meant working his fingers to the bone. Made sure we all focused on our education and always gave us a reason when we questioned his authority. I was truly blessed with great parents!

Answer 7

My dad was the head of our household, he supported us, clothed us, bought a roof over our heads, he took us to church, and he loved us very much. There was nothing he wouldnt do for me, my siblings & my mom. My dad passed away very unexpectedly in a car accident a few years ago, and even though it was a devestating time, his precious memories live on in our hearts, and I had him in my life long enough to still feel the impact of his fatherly role that he played in my life.

Both, my dad & mom were true gifts from God, and I am very thankful for them, and Love them both with my heart & soul!

Answer 8

Hes the man you sometimes look for in you boyfriends without realising! The guy you turn to when your guy has upset you! The guy who looks out for you no matter what cause your his little girl (no matter how old you are!!)

Im so sorry that you dont know what its like! But to be honest my dad has remarried and i dont see him anymore its a shame but thats life im afraid xx

Answer 9

someone a bit more rational at times, gets emtionally involved, but not as much, someone who is very proud of your achievements, someone who you can model your relationships on, ie a role of a parent,

having said that, a lousy father can take all that away, and do the opposite

Answer 10

daddy's make everything better. they fight for your honor, make you feel protected, give you advice on boyfriends, tell you their point of view on if a guy really likes you, teaches you to dance, is proud of only everything you do. and i'm not saying moms don't do this, but dad's are just so special. especially MY dad. it's just a bond that's hard to explain.
