I never realized that even at that age they do struggle with fitting in, she has a strong personality and can take care of her self well, but, she just loves other little kids like her and wants to be "mommy" to them, but they can be not nice and I want to go over to them and say "what is your problem?! she just wants to play!!!" but I figure that may not go over well....but I teach her that not everyone is going to be a friend but that she should still be nice either way, scary thing is, she understands me....they're just little adults! I love her!!!<br />Arlene<br />MCB<br />PS daddy's are very important!My Casa Bellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00685205969048010120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881945609020735260.post-10102027704292876442010-08-09T23:20:20.963-04:002010-08-09T23:20:20.963-04:00I think you sound like such an amazing mom and tha...I think you sound like such an amazing mom and that the simple fact that you care about shaping them will help them grow into amazing women. <br />And yes, I think a father's role is huge. I had an amazing, loving Christian father and fully believe that helped lead me to pick a loving Christian man to marry.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870727586415760333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881945609020735260.post-55716322904806954122010-08-09T23:03:57.130-04:002010-08-09T23:03:57.130-04:00Beautiful, but hard post.

My dad was a huge influence and now my bff:) <br />Girls have so much more to worry about than I did growing up. A Christian radio station was having a discussion about this topic and they said to not only pray for your children but pray that they desire the right friends and a relationship with God.tabbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07021630952777320179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881945609020735260.post-20672783912961102832010-08-09T14:45:05.187-04:002010-08-09T14:45:05.187-04:00I agree 1000%!

While I just have one daughter, I find myself so apprehensive for her with fitting in, staying pure, loving God...<br />I am thankful, too, for an awesome daddy that loves her and teaches her and am challenged to pray for more for my husband!<br />I recently read an article along the lines of a daddy who dates his daughter will keep her out of the arms of another man because she feels so securely loved by her daddy that she doesn't need to go looking for it. (It was much better written than that, but I can't remember where it was!)<br /><br />Thanks for a great reminder! I need to get that book!The Sneaky Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11004106053823875453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881945609020735260.post-80503750756008375952010-08-09T04:53:58.737-04:002010-08-09T04:53:58.737-04:00Kate they are strong words but they seem pretty on...Kate they are strong words but they seem pretty on the money too. I want to say that I grew up in a family with divorced parents... so my mother my sisters and me. When I eventually lived with the man I married I was totally unprepared for how boys/men behave. It was just quite nightmarish. I wasn't aware of teasing, sloppiness.....oh I could go on but that's not my point. I had been educated at a girls school too...... my mother did not think very much of "men" and let us know, over & over. <br /><br />I would have lOVED to have had a more present father in my life. Let alone brothers. I'm not a religious gal but I think God has given me five sons so I can learn some lessons :)<br /><br />I can only say through my lack of male role models that I couldn't agree more on the positive influence a father can have on his daughters. <br /><br />Susan :):)susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13527217796834847224noreply@blogger.com
