1) Yes, you are right, E. I do not find myself solely believing my own advice and guidance. I do tend to bounce my thoughts off others, first, to make sure I'm taking a good course of action. Although I like to think I'm a sociopath, by the medical definition, I am not. I'm just really self-righteous and egotistical. You and your hedges. :D

2) I don't know much about Girls and their Fathers, either. I've watched the relationships between my best friends and their dads with interest. And those dads always take me under their wing and treat me as their daughter, but I'm not, so, it's still different. I watch the father/daughter interplay in my relationship and realize it's more active than many I've seen, but it certainly isn't a "I'm the FATHER and you are the CHILD and I define your life and you obey" type thing. They're friends above all else.

Yeah, I don't know much about any of this either. I think since we left the "ideal nuclear family" (do I have to say Nuculer until Bush is out of the White House?) behind, there is no longer any set definition of gender-based parenting; the father is no longer the disciplianarian ("Just wait 'til your father gets home!"); often, there IS no father. The mother no longer teaches the daughters how to keep house and cook. Everything's sort of up in the air and kids learn everything they know from TV or video games.
That's how I learned to fly a Scyk Fighter.
