@jackh Ohhh that’s so tough. How did she eventually stop that kind of stuff when you were growing up? Or didn’t she stop? :#
@CloakOfAsh Yelling ‘spot check’ definitely ups the creepiness! I’m sure she hated that.
For sure parenting would be hard but in a way I hate the spiel that dads ‘know what teen boys are like’ – how about educating and supporting daughters not to stand for crappy behaviour and then just trusting them to sort out any boneheads? *steps down off soap box*
I only once had this line from my dad @MsBlueStreak but like you it didn’t feel helpful at the time!
