[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s get one thing straight: even if you were raised by a pack of wolves, the dad needs to know. Why? Because, listen closely, his job—his sacred, biological, caveman-instinct job—is to protect his child from the hormonal, questionable-decision-making, potentially heart-breaking young men out there. You don’t get to opt out of that just because you were raised by a single mom. No, no, no. You march right over to that man and you lay it all out. "DD is 'talking to' boys, and by 'talking to,' I mean she’s basically in a relationship without the formal dinner dates, but with all the drama, the late-night texts, and the hand-holding that makes you want to scream into a pillow."

Ultra-conservative point of view. No, men don't have a "sacred, biological, caveman-instinct job" when it comes to their daughters. That's a construct born of the philosophy that women are property, and that the man of the house has total control over all the people living in it.

But yes, parents need to know what their kids are generally up to.
