maybe it's a myth because there was a time i spent 5hrs thinking ofit but came to no real conclusion

I think it's just out of the need to protect her. I've tried to decipher the rationale, but can't seem to pinpoint it.the bond between me and my daughter is so massive, it sometimes kinda put a strain between me and her mum.

georgee: Oedipus complex

hhhmmm

Yay!! I love this thread.

I can't explain it either, I love my mum but there's just this understanding, care, vulnerability, love between my Dad and I. LoL, it makes my mum so darn jealous

I am a daddy's girl. I love both my parents a lot but I am very crazy about my dad. He always confide in me about a lot of things before he tells my mum. In fact, I am the one who share a lot of those stuff with her. My mum gets jealous sometimes cos he tells me stuff that she should have known and I can understand where she is coming from.

Electra complex!

You still dey hope for fp?.

It's just the law of physics, like poles repel,unlike poles attract. SIMPLE!

It is Natural.

In most cases the bond is there to fill the vacuum the wife left or is leaving open.

the struggle is real

There is always hope.

I think a man feels sons should learn to be strong and even look after the females.

Father feels the need to also directly protect females. You cherish "something" under your protection.

Oedipus complex

Is that not between a son and his mother?

Gbam, O.p see ur answer

I was a regular daddy's girl till I had my daughter and now I have to take lessons on how to get all the favours my daughter gets from MY hubby lol. Fair abi?

Daughters are special. Mummies just don't notice because they are always trying to mould their daughters in their own image.
BTW, not all men like daughters. I have heard of someone who divorced his wife because she gave birth to 3 daughters.

Electra complex

Hmmm..my first love.......it is amazing how a father can have this bond wt his daughter

I've noticed this psychology too. First born girl children are usually unusually emotionally bonded to their dads. Freudian psychology calls it electra complex.

For this reason, i often fantasize having a girl as my first child & so shall it be.

I also have a high affinity to my first daughter like kilode...

Sometimes sef, my wife gets jealous and would be like, 'haba daddy and daughter, kilode. Is she your only child?'

In truth I can't explain it, most of the problems I had with my ex emanated from the bond I had with my daughter. But I couldn't help it, she was always receptive to my gestures, always giving me those reliving smiles, not subject to inexplicable mood swings. Her mum got jealous and would abandon us sometimes, but we had all we needed going for us Jor. Don't know if the feeling would have been different with a male child though.

I like this post

My Dad oh how I love that man!
Though he's being over protective but I can't help it
We do have lots of misunderstandings about make up and short dresses(he hates it )

Don't know much about father-daughter bond cos I'm not a dad yet.

But I know its very strong considering the fact that I wish for a girl-child as my first and I already love her.

My dad was my best friend. Girls love their daddies as in kilode

These complexes are new to me.

Growing up, four kinds of kids were the favorites irrespective of gender:

1. The first born
2. The last born
3. The only boy/girl
4. Best behavior/similar behaviour to liking parents.

Just a question:

Does the father/mother like all the daughters/sons or do they pick one?
