Girl Talk  |
|
My daughter got back yesterday from University for the Summer holidays. I picked her up and we sang songs from the shows all the way home - a full 2 1/2 hours. When her mother got home from work it was straight into girl talk and that's the way that it has stayed. I said "met any nice boys". She replied "Nah. Not really". Same question from Mum " Well there is a guy. He's so hot Mum..." and so on. Apart from the obvious, what's her Mother got that I haven't? I am always being moaned at for not engaging in deep and meaningful chat, but when I do I just get "the look". Daughter's friend is here tonight. She has had highlights in her hair. I notice and get thanked. Mum notices and there is an in depth conversation. I'm not sure that I am really that interested really. But there is such a difference. So, am I alone? Should I worry, or just be relieved that I don't get involved.

p1kef1sh (2510) | 3 months ago | So the (unused) condom that I found in her room and waved about like a demented thing may have not brought us closer. LOL. Haven't told her mother about that yet. But I will do, never fear, Dad is here. Yep, we brought the rain. Well, I do a mean "Singing in the Rain". "Doo de doo doo doo de doo de doo doody doody de doo"

cinderella2007 (1025) | 3 months ago | You didnt wave the condom around did you??? Theres nothing more embarrassing(not that it has ever happened to me!!) I reckon you should have a father and daughter day, go for a walk through the park and just chat!! If she doesnt tell you stuff its nothing personal!! Just enjoy time together as before you know it, summer will be over and she will be packing to go back to uni!!

p1kef1sh (2510) | 3 months ago | We do spend a lot of time together and get on very well. She dismissed the condom - "If you're trying to embarrass me [raspberry]". In fact my wife says that we are more like brother and sister than father and daughter half the time. She may have a point there.

4. ellie333 (3770) | 3 months ago | LOL. I am the mum that gets all the girlie chats from my daughters and their friends. Dads asking daughters about boys will nearly always get that response as they still like to be thought of as daddys girl and sense that dad might want too much detail about this guy whereas mum just wants to know how he looks etc. You also say you are not sure whether you'd be interested anyway so they will sense this also. I wouldn't worry at all it is completely normal behaviour. Enjoy your time with your daughter home. Ellie:D

p1kef1sh (2510) | 3 months ago | I shall enjoy her (even more when she gets a job and stops me worrying about how she will pay her rent next term) Ellie. Maybe your right. I don't much care what he looks like just so long as he treats her well - and I have some very old fashioned ideas about standards! Mid-typing this I have suddenly become very important. She lost all the music on her laptop. Suddenly Dad is very important in getting it back for her. LOL.

ellie333 (3770) | 3 months ago | See you just play a different role thats all. I bet you get a great big hug and a thanks sooooo much daddy when you've solved the problem and she has her music again. Ellie:D

p1kef1sh (2510) | 3 months ago | Something like that Ellie. As I left her she was shrieking "Where are my films". We'd found them of course. She just hadn't looked in the right place.

5. BCMike (1459) | 3 months ago | Your 'in-depth' conversations miss all the key elements of female thought patterns and likely has bad advice. Well not really bad advice per se, but unwanted advice more likely. And you have one of those 'things'and therefore your mind is always in your pants right?

|
p1kef1sh (2510) | 3 months ago | Probably Mike. It's other men's "things" in their pants that I worry about. Get the right one and I'm a happy boy. Wrong one and I become the Castration King!!

6. Pitgull (715) | 3 months ago | If you've ever tried discouraging her from boys, conversation with you there, will probably stay as is. Besides, when you let us girls open up, remember the girls you used to have as friends, we'll tell you everything. Do you want to know all that about the guys she's interested in or why? Or if you want to know more about what your daughter is like, who she's drawn to, what type of people she likes to be around, there are other ways to open connections. She's probably sparing you some details you don't want to hear anyway.... You could always talk about the shows you both like, that can turn to deep conversation... don't fret, you probably don't want to hear it anyway

p1kef1sh (2510) | 3 months ago | We are very close really and get on very well. I think that you are right though. She probably thinks that I don't need to know everything. She's probably right.

7. AnnieOakley1 (523) | 3 months ago | Oh, P1key.... Just put on your conical bra outfit next time you ask her a girlie question and maybe she will respond like you are a girl. Or maybe, if you're shy, you could just get a long haired wig, if that makes you feel more comfortable. Then, you will have lots to talk and laugh about. Or put streaks in YOUR hair. If ya wanna talk the talk, you gotta walk the walk, baby.

p1kef1sh (2510) | 3 months ago | She hasn't seen the picture, but she has sen and handled the bra Annie. Think that I'll leave it at though. The bra is only for those that understand!!!! I try here, but I know that I don't walk that walk, and probably never will. Not as long as I have a dingly dangly! "Now put that knife down. Annie, NO. HELP"

8. nannacroc (1555) | 3 months ago | Just remember to have an open wallet and a closed mouth and you'll be fine. Continue to know that your place is in the wrong and let the mother daughter bonding continue while you continue bonding with your computer.

|
p1kef1sh (2510) | 3 months ago | That is my usual pose Nanna. I'll do as you suggest. It's worked so far.

dorypanda (789) | 3 months ago | Yes, I totally agree.:)

p1kef1sh (2510) | 3 months ago | We get on fine really and I know that she gets a better reaction from her mother than from me about certain things. It just make me laugh that her Mom and I can ask the same question and get such wildly different replies. Vive la difference as the French say.

mtdewgurl74 (4741) | 3 months ago | That good anyhow. I am probably undoubtedly the same way with my parents. We just think mom understands more since she is also a woman and been there done that sort of thing. It is good to have a good relationship with your kids glad you do.

10. cynicalandoutspoken (1936) | 3 months ago | No amount of reading womens magazines is going to get you the same attention as a mom. You notice highlights which is more than I can say for a lot of members of your species but do you really care if they used foil or a cap to apply them? Do you want to spend hours listening to your baby girl go on and on about how hot some guy is and how cute his buns look in jeans? I wouldn't think so, and neither would your daughter. Consider yourself lucky that you are being spared the migraine and the details.

p1kef1sh (2510) | 3 months ago | True. I don't really mind I just find it amusing that the same questions attracts such different replies. Now, where's my Cosmo?
