I am in my late twenties and my dad still treats like his little girl. I am so sick n tired of it. Why does he still treat me his way? Any sort of help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Are you an only child? This could be a reason. He wants to protect you from killers, rapists, etc.

Dear...you will one day look back on how your father loved and cared so much for you, why does he do it.....look at all the missing pictures as you enter most grocer stores and post office and Walmart the entrance and exits the wall are covered with missing people and they are not small children, they are mostly teen, young women in early and late 20's some older than that, ..you should thank God your dad is concerned, look at the news, honey, girls leave to go to school or shopping and or never seen again, some or sexually assaulted and killed, others have never been found , possibly dead, and then there's the sex trade..where young girls are being taken off the street and sold for sex slaves and some over seas...Ask him and you'll probably get close to the same answer....no one is safe anymore...your Dad loves you and wants to keep you safe...you should thank God for him...and don't worry him so much...try to understand...one day you will be a parent and then you'll understand your Dad.....you are lucky , some kids, none of their parents care what, when where they are ...give your dad a big hug and talk with him,, reassure him...after all you only have one dad....love and care about him for a while...honey...he's afraid of loosing a child he loves....

Was your Dad's young adult life rather wild? -- Who better to know the "evils lurking in the hearts of young men".
Are you still living "at home"?
Are you the first daughter?
Parents have a hard time letting their kids "leave the nest".
You look in the mirror and see an able, capable grown woman.
Your Dad looks at you and he's still thinking he's seeing his little girl that he vowed he would see that she would always be safe.
Once you've actually established your own home, your own job, a savings account -- your Dad should begin to feel safe to let go more. Bring in a husband, and he has the official opportunity to "give you away". When there are grandchildren it will give your Dad an entirely new focus!

Let me guess your in your late twenties and you still live at home. Maybe that's why! Your need to show him that you are mature and responsible young adult. If you are at home help out around the house may be with dinner and keeping your room clean with out being told. Offer to take care of a sibling so your parents can go out for an evening. Maybe you depend on your father to much that he fills you are still his little girl.

It sound like he still sees you as his little girl and is afraid to let you go into the world alone now. Have a talk with your dad let him know you'll always be his little girl but at the same time you have grown up and are an adult now, he needs to let you learn how to be that own.

ya know
my father used to be like that
even when he had a male son, I was always his little girl
I would get so annoyed with him for been overly protective and when he wanted to hug me and give me kisses.
when he passed away, I thought I was going to fell liberated, I did, for a while. Now that I remember all things he did for me, and remember the ways he would hug me and wanted to protect me, it makes me fell so bad and it makes me cry.
Now is too late to even feel bad about it.
Maybe he left this world thinking that I didnt loved him, but I did, and still do.
you should take advantage of that,
ask for advice on things you dont know how to do. Laugh it off when he babies you.

you are his little girl, no matter what age you are. my grandmother still treats me like i'm 4, and i'm 29 and married! she says that she will always think of me like that, and there is no use in thinking otherwise. i'm the only girl in the family, so that has something to do with it.

My advice is to change your stance with him. If you behave in an assertive, mature fashion, he will begin to see you in this manner. Do not get angry. Getting angry shows that you are still a child. Changing your behavior will effect his behavior. It may take a little while, but it will happen.

You'll always be his baby girl. My dad is the same. Especially if you are the youngest, only, or only girl. He just wants to keep you safe and innocent.
