Letting His Daughter Do His Nails While Playing A Video Game
HelenMazzer 11 years ago
Maybe he is so engrossed with his video game that he doesn't realise what is happening.
KathyVondracek 11 years ago
I love it! Multitasking and showing he is secure in his masculinity.
Shaheris Suhel 9 years ago
And that is the only way left for him to service. Lol. My daughter is the same, she wont let her father do anything else than she wants.

Having Tea-parties With Your Daughter
Helen Thomas 9 years ago
Brilliant! I hope there wasn't any tea in the girl's cup, or it would have spilled all over her front!

A Table Is A Table
JessicaHebb 11 years ago
This one is my favorite. There's just something about a man with muscles and tatts sitting at a pink table with his daughter.

This is NOT shaming, its a father saying I don't want my daughter wearing that. It's establishing boundaries. Thats part of being a parent.
KalliSugarBabe 11 years ago
I couldn't care less what any member of my family wears.Making your child feel uncomfortable and ashamed of yourself is not very wise.
Daphne de Haan 9 years ago
You should teach your sons not to abuse girls instead of teaching your daughters to hide...

Wearing longer clothes doesn't make you safer! People not being raping maniacs makes you safer!
Narm Chayapat 9 years ago
I know its not the girl's fault to get raped wearing shorts, she should be able to do that. However, this dad just tried to minimize any factors that could lead to that incident. Coz dad knows what men think. This dad would let his daughter wears shorts, in my opinion, he just wants her to be more careful.

Therefore the male acts confused and hauls them away with a truck, which the female wouldn't do? Sigh.
