Why do some single mothers think that single dad's need to call them about female issues?

I know some single mothers that constantly think I'm going to be calling them every week about "female issues" because I'm a single dad. I'm sick and tired of hearing this. I don't go around telling single mothers that they'll be calling me with "boy issues" because they're raising boys. My daughter is almost done with high school and I've been through her first period with her, her driver's license, boyfriend problems, etc, etc. And not once, was I even close to calling them. And the biggest thing I hear from these women is that I don't know, and I'll see what they mean, etc, etc. I mean, I knew her period was coming, auto insurance is higher because of her, etc, etc. I don't get all excited, and hysterical over things that I know are going to happen.





Things in life that I can't do nothing about don't get me all hysterical with my daughter, but some single mothers do,





Why do some of them act this way, and assume I'll be calling them?

I think that it is probably because most men don't want to talk about "girl Issues" with their daughters...but if you can, and you have, that is awesome! you are a great dad to be so involved! good job, and just laugh at those women who say that to you....maybe they should come to you for help!
Reply:they think men are incompatant, and that all of you are uncomfortable with speaking about girl problems with their daughters. A fact that you obviously could easily disprove.
Reply:Probably because most fathers/men shy away from feminine issues and young girls typically feel more comfortable talking about it with a mother or motherly figure. Kudos to you for being so tuned in to your daughters needs. I give you all the credit in the world. I wish there were more fathers like you!
Reply:you mean kind of like how guys think I need advice on raising a little boy?
Reply:My mom died when I was ten


My father had my aunt and granny do the female stuff





A lot of men have problems with girls, not all


My father thought dealing with my brothers, then my sister and I





Some many have no problem


You are right, it's is not nice to assume you can not handle these issues
Reply:To be totally honest I have yet to come across a man who is as capable as you are to handle those things. Even my husband had to be reminded to wipe away from our new daughter's privates. He isn't even willing to go buy breast pads for me since I'm breastfeeding. He sure isn't going to be able to handle the menstral issue and is likely to be the type of dad who doesn't want his "baby girl" to be allowed on a date until she graduates college!


It is awesome that you've realized that being dad is much more important then supposed cultural morals of what a "mother" or "father" is supposed to teach their children based on a child's gender!
