Here's the deal, I asked a couple of questions related to my daughter's health and I get looked at like some kind of pedophile. Why is it a father cannot take care of his kid's and be praised for it. Why is it considered unacceptable for a dad taking care of his kids to if necessary see their private parts, but perfectly ok for the mom to do it. What are single dad's supposed to do in this scenario? Why is it if a female goes to a male doctor a female nurse is present, but if a male goes to a female doctor they are left alone? If something happens to your kid that is the opposite sex than you or they have to be examined for anything and noone else of the same sex is available, are you just supposed to wait outside while a person you don't really know tends to them, or are you supposed to do your job and stay with your kid no matter what? I'm just so fed up with our society and thinking all males are perv's or have bad motives. How can a father rasie his kids this way?

It is very unfortunate that society has ended up this way, and yes your right, if roles were reveresed and you were a mother helping her son noone would think twice about it..unfortunatly that is the way society is and we can do nothing about it, but please understand that we do not ALL feel that way. If your daughters health is at risk then you are doing the right thing...if it is a matter of health and has to be done then that is fine......ignore society and keep on being a good father, and your children will learn what is right is not always what society says!! Good luck!!

I was all set to applaud you for being a good single dad. But then, I read Shamrocks answer. Which made me look you up and look at your other questions. Sorry, but I am backing Shamrock 100% here. 12 years old.. no need for gyn exam, no need for pill or anything like that. And ya know what else? Even though I am a single mom, my son, when he was younger, if it were going to be an exam concerning his genitals, I simply told him I would leave the room, and let him be with the doctor. Even kids deserve that kind of privacy. Now if he was afraid, and wanted me to stay, that would be a whole different story. You should NOT be in the exam room during a pelvic. There is nurse there to keep eye. Woohoo Shamrock, for your answer. And, even when my daughter goes for her first pelvic, I will be right outside that door if she needs me.. not in there with her.

Most people know that not all men are pervs but the sad truth is that there are a lot of them and family members are the most likely abusers. Do not take offense if you do not fit in this group. Be glad that there are people out there concerned with the welfare of children because you would want the support if it was your child who was victimized. Just keep doing what your doing to take care of your child and ignore the comments that don't fit your life. Good luck to you.

Wow! I was ready to explain to him how society views a single dad with great admiration until I read that his daughter is 12.
Unless your daughter is requesting your presence during the exam, you've got no business in there. If you don't want to be viewed as a pedophile or a pervert, stay out.

Because ALL men are perverts! All women are viewed as sex objects in the eye of a man. you SHOULD not be allowed to see your daughters privates and i'm glad that you are looked down upon. just blame this on all of the sick bastards out there that want sex with all women regardless of age. you are only asking this question so you won't feel guilty about looking at your daughter naked. why don't you leave your daughter alone and just get some nudey mags instead.

You are way out of line buddy!! You keep asking to see if you can take your daughter for a PELVIC EXAM and people keep telling you 1.) It is inappropiate for anyone to be in the room except for her and her doctor and 2.) She is 12 and unless she is sexually active--she should not be having a pelvic exam. If you want to put her on the pill for mood stabilization, you and her can consult with a doctor without a pelvic. You keep asking the same question in different ways! Listen to what people are telling you!
