It seems that in a family with daughters, the father is so strict and protective with their daughters especially when it comes to dating, guys, & going out at nights. On the other hand, the mother is way more flexible. Why???

my husband says this "when you have a son you only have to worry about 1 "prick" but when you have a daughter you have to worry about all the "pricks"
we have 2 boys and a girl...he says she can't date until she's 30!! lol

Because the father - being a man - knows exactly what is going through the head of a young boy. He probably remembers what he was thinking and trying to do at that age and wants to protect his little girl.
Mothers on the other hand, might assume they have raised their daughters well enough to handle themselves.

Not in our house. While my husband had some freedom as a teenager, both of my parents kept a short leash on my siblings and me. Not surprisingly, my husband was sexually active at 16 while I waited until well into adulthood. I even regret that I didn't wait a couple years longer until I met my husband. So, I intend to guide my daughters through their childhoods (all the way to 18) instilling in them the importance of saving not just your purity, but also your affections for your husband to be. My 7 year old daughter began learning this little saying at 3 and still recites it proudly: "I will not kiss a boy until I find the one I'll marry. I will not marry till I graduate from college. And I will not lay down with him until I am married." I don't think there's anything wrong with being strict and teaching our daughters to be virtuous. There's so much of it lacking in this day and age with little Britney Spear lookalikes, etc. I think a little girl should learn what kind of man to look for from her father and how she should carry herself as a woman from her mother.

The father is much more protective with a daughter than a son YOU ARE TOTALLY RIGH! That is because he sees her as his little girl. He sees her as his tiny little girl always! He see's her as small-helplerss- and she needs her daddy to feel safe and secure just like she did when she was little! Trust me- it is all out of love that this happens! He loves you and wants to keep you ssafe and secure and all of a sudden its like you dont need your daddy anymore and thast hurts him alot. So he is going to jump in and get the love he can get from you! Try taking one day a week and asking your dad if you can start going to lunch together- just you and him! My 15 year old son and I go to dinner by ourselves once a week and its great! Good luck! Remember though- its love that makes him act so crazy!!!!

Because they have a penis and were young once...
All males know that young males can not be trusted with girls.
My daughters boyfriend knows straight up he better not lay a finger on her.
BUT!!!!
My son is actually kept on a shorter leash simply because he is male.
Bottom line is she will always be "daddy's little girl".... She deserved the best... and will always need to be taken care of.
Daddy's little boy will one day grow into a man and have to learn to take care of a young lady.

Because DAds know what we were thinking at a young age and we some how think by restricting them from more things we can keep them from younger versions of ourselves, but if we continue to cage and trap our daughter we will find more sneaky girl that doesn't know how to act when they do get a little freedom

They remember how they treated girls when they were younger (dating age probably), so they think they can alter how their daughter is treated by keeping her in more, telling her how to dress, and it's probably a control thing too.....his little girl will leave home to go for another male in her life and when he realizes this, he might want to have the last bit of control until that happens.....so maybe she will always realize that he will be there...hounding her or otherwise.

It's because Daddies know how boys think, and they don't want their daughter being hurt or used. They feel protective over them. Moms are the same way with sons.

Because the father knows how teenage boys think, because he used to be one. They just want sex. Your dad knows this, and typically will be very overprotective over you.
Moms are more flexible, because they understand better of what it's like to a be a young girl. It differs just because of their experiences.

Because the fathers know what they used to try to do to girls and they think that all guys are going to try to do the same things.
