Would you raise your children like your parents raised you?

Would you raise your children like your parents raised you?

Thankfully they’ve grown up very well and I’m extremely proud of them.

I still struggle nowadays because I want to make sure my kids are safe and healthy, and I tend to overreact because I don’t want my kids growing up like I did.

Hell fucking no. I was raised with no rules, guidance, or discipline. I am very lucky that I preferred reading over everything and bitched when I couldn’t do so.

What advice would you give to a father of a teenage daughter on how to protect her from boys, dating, and social media? How should fathers discuss these topics with their daughters?

My parents drank, smoked, and my father abused ma while she hit back, so they preferred to do that and treated me like a roommate.
