[QUOTE="Rhino Hunter, post: 1713257, member: 25461"] I have one brother and no sisters so I wasn't raised around females. Now I have two boys, well...young men (23 & 21) and no daughters. So I don't know anything about females...just ask my wife. LOL. One thing I have learned is when I lose my temper with my boys/wife, and then I scream and yell that all of their ears seem to just shut down. So I'm slowing learning (still) to do my best to list and not tell them what to do, unless of course it's a safety issue. I try to talk to them more from a equal perspective and not talk down to them. As they grow up, and me too, our relationships are getting stronger. The younger one still gives me fits though on occasion...Rebel without a cause maybe? You're probably already doing this, but I would suggest the following: [LIST] [*]Listen more than you talk, talk more than you yell [*]Always be there for her [*]No matter what always show that you love her [*]Be very, very patient [*]You can only change yourself [/LIST] Good luck Dad!
