How do I raise Five girls in a world like this?

Answer 1

I've raising 5 daughters in this world. They're 21, 18, 17, 15 & 12. You stay firm, teach them respect, trust, responsibility and morals. If I can do it, so can you.
Best wishes

Answer 2

First of all i don't know what you mean when said "in a world like this?" the world has always had ups and downs... My dad has 6 girls, no boys. He's managed to raise all of us on his own. We all turned out to be very good grown woman.. the 3 younger ones are very good too. I guess that you just have to show them how much you care for them and love them. Always be there for them; but also try to be a friend to them. Someone that they can talk to, and trust. My dad is my heroe, i love him to death. He's the best in all sense of the word.

Answer 3

My husband and I have 3 girls. We are brutally honest with them. We give them the knowledge of the real world and don't sugar coat things. In the end, we know they will have to make their own decisions and we hope the resources we gave them will sit in their mind. My husband's neice started to think about boys and pregnancy at 14 so we took her and our girls to a hospital and got permission from a mom to be and a nurse to listen to 5 minutes of hard labor. Then we took them into the nursery and showed them what happens afterward. We had a friend with a newborn. She allowed us to babysit, we made the 14 yr old take care of the baby (with us close). She had to make all the decisions to take care of this little life. After 12 hours of the education experience, she no longer wanted to get pregnant until she was educated and married.

Answer 4

Teach them good moral values and make sure that you and they make education a priority in their life. I try to teach my daughter the way I was taught by my parents when I was growing up. Rely only upon yourself. It is okay to want a family but make sure you wait until you are ready for it. Try to keep an open relationship with them where they can discuss anything with you, especially sex and drugs. This is in no way a perfect time to raise children with the way the world is but I try to make the best of it and enjoy it as much as possible.

Answer 5

Just like you would raise five boys. Girls shouldn't be considered any different.

Answer 6

DO NOT give into buying them t-shirts that say "PRINCESS" or "SPOILT ROTTEN" or "BRAT"... I am sick to death of seeing parents buy these shirts or play into encouraging this kind of behavior in their girls - seriously what kind of person would want a girl grown up thinking she is a 'princess' she will be so stuck up and useless as a human being no self respecting guy would want to be with her...

basically allow them to be "people" not just "girls" let them play with trucks just as much as dolls.. show them that bugs are cool.. and mud is fun... teach them gentleness and dont allow them to play headgames - watch the same shows they watch and turn off those which teach negative behavior

Answer 7

Modestly! Raise them and teach them that they do not have to flaunt their sexuality. Teach them to respect themselves as young ladies and demand the same from others around them. Help them understand that the way they dress and act around boys will draw attention - good or bad.

It can be done - it won't be easy.

Answer 8

With a lot of patience and get ready for a lot of disappointment, your going to want your girls to be perfect princesses, but in this society, luck is not on your side.

Answer 9

I'm still trying to figure out how to raise just one girl...

Answer 10

Just wait, they get bigger, you just have to be patiant. My little sister was only a foot tall when she was born. 3 years later she was over two feet!!!
