I agree with you, Perna. My dad was great, in fact he works out of a home office while my mom has always had a fulltime job out of home, so he raised my sister and I the majority of the time. He supported us and spent a lot of time with us, cooking and cleaning, but also playing. Since I watched him and respected him, I knew what I was looking for in a husband. In a lot of cases with my dad's generation, the husbands were working all of the time and weren't around much to be examples to their boys in how to conduct themselves, especially with their wives. And their daughters watched that too, and saw what to expect for themselves. I think that a lot of self confidence and self worth can be instilled in a daughter with a good relationship with her father, and when that relationship isn't there it's a lot harder for her to relate to and find men who will take care of her. Does any of that make sense?
