You know the sayings Daddy's Little girl and Mamas boy...well girls just how close are you to your fathers and how do they affect your lives is it just they're there and they get on your nerves or is it the feeling of "i dont know what i would do without that man"....and if your father hasnt been that present in your life for what ever reason do you think your life would have played out totally different if he was or pretty much the same....and on top of that do you think there is a need in the prescense of a father in the raising of a girl child or do u think all she needs is her mother to teach and guide her in the process of becoming a woman & Why?
I can only really remember seeing my father three times... once when i was like 7, again when i was 12 and the last time was at his funeral. We never had any kind of a relationship with one another. The only thing i knew about him was his name and that he was my father, i could look at him and tell that much. I understand now why he wasnt around much. My father was heavy into the **** and didnt want me to see him like that. Its hard to say whether i should have been mad or grateful that he didnt come around. I jus wish that we could have talked or something b4 he passed away.
Good question and topic. My father really doesn't play a role in my life. He has been in and out of jail since I was 2 years old and here I am 20 years old, and he still doesn't play a role in my life and he has been out of jail since I was 12. At times, I wonder when will he EVER play a father role in my life, but I feel as if I'm too old to be set down and be taught about the *birds and the bees*. . My father was my great grandfather and the step father's I've had who took the place of his responsibility. It hurts not having a parental figure in your life. I'm NO daddy's little girl. Since now, I am 20, we really don't have anything to talk about. He lives all the way out in Cali and I am in Baltimore. When he does come to the East side and we are in the same room, I feel weird. We have nothing to talk about. We use to argue a lot when he first got out of jail and when my family tells him he needs to start being a father to me, he just blocks it out and has this *whatever* attitude. He has three kids and only takes care of one, the MIDDLE CHILD. He also has other step kids and takes care of them, but can't take care of his REAL kids.
Its is unfortunate and disheartening to realize my relationship with my father is not the norm. My dad and mom have been married almost 50 years. He is 68 and she is 66. They have been together since ages 15 and 17. My father has always been a part of my life. He has set the standard for what I expect out of a husband: provider, best friend, adviser, and an equal. He didnt make it to all my basketball games in junior high and it may have taken 5 years for all my best friends to finally see him (he owned his own business as a contractor and traveled alot) but he was there for the championship game, graduations, and the house parties. Everyday I see my father's ways in me-both love sports cars, thin crust pizza, and doing the right thing. Its crazy how my brother is nothing like him. He has kids-some he doesnt claim which does not make a difference from the ones he acknowledges. My nieces suffer because of it. They have a great grand daddy but nothing is like having a father.
i didnt grow up with my dad in the same household but i know he loves me and he supports anything that would make me a better person. but on the other hand we live in 2 different countries and i dont see or talk to him alot
My father is M.I.A. seriously...so right now i'm looking for him...i don't really want anything from him just one conversation...to ask him why didn't he stay in my life why didn't he help my mom....but i turned out to be a great person without him so its whatever....i'm not one of these wild teenage girls that crave male attention
I have a close relationship with my father. Well actually with both my parents. They both came from two parent house holds, but it wasn't a healthy environment. So they use that for raising my sister and me, to do the opposite. And no one can tell me that my parents aren't the best, especially my daddy. I know NO ONE who is as close to their father as i am with mine. I love him so much, and i see him as a gift from God. I feel that a father relationship with his daughter is VERY important. I feel like having his love i never had to strive for a male's attention.
