Even as a father I'll never understand the weird insecurity that dads like this experience. Like, am I thrilled that my kid is eventually going to grow up to probably grind and smash with her boyfriends behind the Quiznos? Of course not. But being brooding and possessive about it is weird. Maybe even Alabama kind of weird.

I always find it interesting how some parents do this weird “don’t touch my daughter” but mix it with “give me grandkids!!”… like, you can’t have it both ways.

These occur at different life stages for children

Teenager years, "Don't touch my daughter." / "Don't impregnate anyone."

Mid twenty and later, "Grandbabies please."
