[quote=Anonymous]15 girl - movies, partners in crime & adventure buddies (just hop in the car and go somewhere, try out a new restaurant, visit a park), they share a love of art, he listens to her, he's more permissive than I am and supports her (and helps her argue her point without being disrespectful to me or contradicting me) when she thinks I'm being too restrictive. He also goes to her games and performances, checks in with her about school and friends, but I think more of the bonding happens outside of that stuff. My husband was one of those guys who never changed a diaper. He was legitimately terrible with her when she was a baby because he had no idea what to do so just avoided taking care of her. But once she could talk and was potty trained, he was there for her and he's been my model for navigating the path from protective-parent to supportive-parent as she's become a mature, responsible teen.[/quote]
