My daughter asked me a difficult question

I have four daughters and one of them always can come up with some very weird and difficult questions. And as a mother, I feel that I have to give her a satisfactory answer. But sometimes I feel that she just wants to air out what she feels and not really looking for an answer. Do you face such a situation with your children if you have any?

My daughter always told/tells me problems she's had/having. If I offer solutions, she might get mad and tell me she only wanted to talk about it, not get solutions from me.

I suppose girls are like that. They don't really want a solution to whatever problems they're having. They just want someone to listen to them without judging. I guess your daughter must trust you to share with you how she's feeling.

@UmiNoor I guess she does. My daughter is 34 years old. I got full custody of her when she was 5 years old. When she was 11, she started her time of the month. She was staying with her mom for the weekend and waited until she came home to me before telling me we needed to find out what to do about it. I took her to a local store, found one of the ladies working there and asked her to help us. The lady was delighted to explain everything to me, which embarrassed me but it got Pretty the information she needed to take care of herself after that.

@DaddyEvil That is nice. It is difficult when a man has to raise his daughter because girls biology is different from boys.

I have no children, when my niece was young and asked weird questions I always answered the best as I could.

My youngest son is the most likely to ask awkward questions. Sometimes he's just being silly. He's 17 and a true comedian! I understand about asking questions but only really wanting to vent. I'll do that with my husband. Sometimes an answer might be helpful, but sometimes it's just wanting to get something out.

To me, the fact that your daughter feels she can ask questions is very valuable. In a way, she is gifting you as a parent. It gives you an insight into what she is thinking. How many of us have experienced the frustration of getting our children to open up and help us understand them? Her questions may help you determine if she needs help in some way. As her mother, this is an excellent opportunity, to understand her perspective, recognize any misunderstandings and clear up anything that needs clarification. She may only be asking to talk things out, but carefully listening will help you determine if she needs just a sounding board or if she really is seeking information. What sorts of questions does she ask? Do you feel you have the answers she's looking for?

If the answer is scientific then the children should be given right answer. If it is fictional then an imaginative answer will do
