The original poster prefaced his situation by noting that he has two sons — 12 and 14 — as well as a 16-year-old daughter. He explained that he and his sons go fishing, play sports, camp, and enjoy coding camps.While the relationship this dad has with his sons seems to be thriving, he seems frustrated with his daughter’s lack of interest in the hobbies thatand his sons enjoy. He continued, “I asked my daughter if she would like to go to any clubs, but she declined, and I said fine by me.
“My daughter comes around asking me to come shopping with her which I find unimaginably boring so I pass on the offer,” he wrote. As one could predict, after multiple attempts to spend quality time with her dad, the daughter became angry and hurt. “She started calling me out saying how I never spend time with her and that I love her brothers more than I care about her. ,” he explained. “ ... my daughter will not speak [to] me. I feel really bad.”
This post seems to revel in condescending judgement. Obviously, he needs to spend time with his daughter but the desire to pounce on him and tear him apart is telling.
