Thanks for your kind wishes Pick.

I certainly need to hear more on raising daughters. To be honest, I was pretty certain we were having another boy. Madam sef was looking at me with one kin side eye - I fixed up sha. Never let it show on your face.

I was all set to run the same routine as with Lil' man. Fairly strict but leaving him room for negotiation - started caning him at 18 months, then realised he had the jump on me and I was about 6 months too late angry.

But we are really easy, do lots of stuff together, rough and tumble and he's starting to understand boundaries and smartly test limits. I've always maintained I could never smack a girl child - hoping she's has a super cool temprement and it's never an issue - double pray down at the naming next week cheesy!

So guys, what's the story here?

I remember pretty much everything you've written about your daughter and her dad. I'm warming to it - small, small. She was already looking pweetier when I saw her earlier today. Practicing my stern "no Miss" face smiley.

I agree raising girls isn't easy, but still it has to be done, sey na the women go raise them? tongue

As fathers, you set the standard for a lot of the relationships( and ideas) she has with(and about) males to a large extent, so you need to be on point.

Re: Boys Night Out Discussions by bellong: 6:44pm On Feb 12, 2015
Having a female child is one of my greatest fears. I do believe she might become too spoilt as I may become overcareful/caring, sparing the rod when not necessary.......

However, if i have a girl, she sure would understand basic things about life and necessity of purpose.....

Very true.Alot of who I am today and how I view relationships is down to my dad. I know I tend to go on and on about him( that's cos I miss him ) and believe me did he have his own faults but my sense of self came more from him than even my mum.Kinda why I can't demonise ALL Nigerian men.

Honest talk.

To me, having all boys would have obviated a lot of problems - not least best use of all the stuff my son has that wasn;t used very much or at all grin! I often said whether the second one was a boy or girl, it would be wearing boys clothes till the age of 4 cheesy!

But it's a challenge and not one I have to face alone. Who really wants to raise an entitlement princess in this day and age? A virtuous woman of deep character and high achievement. Polished and accomplished.

And with the dearth of men how to make sure she marries well. And deep down the thought of them falling into predatory hands is there. I can see why men find it hard to let go of their daughters. With sons, you give them the tools and tell them to get on with it. That's a mantra of mine; "men take responsibility", and as soon as they are of age.

bellong:

In some ways the same as for sons, just different - perhaps more of a sense of vulnerability/fragility?

Which is why I said I understand your semi-discomfort. I have a sister who I wish I could marry because my father was on point in many ways, and he paid special attention to her. But seeing how she's. Very different from many women today, even my own wife, I have to be sincere, about my fears of raising a well-rounded woman; not entitled but not a push over. *sigh. I don't know mahn. I hope God indulges me and gives me another boy. History is against me, though, on both sides it's been, boy-girl-boy, literally.

I'm a little apprehensive. Hehhehehe. grin. Congrats TV, once again. I loved the smell and sight of my newborn, I sense how you must feel right now. grin Congrats, brother.

I can't tell a lie -I always wanted 2 boys and a girl if we had a third. It was just easier and a better fit. But perhaps I need to learn something here - if not only that I can't always have my way and I don't necessarily know best. Just another challenge to face square on.
