I'm a huge fan of Dave Ramsey. I was reading through his list of recommended books recently and ordered one from Amazon.

It's called "Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters"

I've only recently started reading it. I plan to pass it along to DH afterwards if I think it's worthwhile and I've already decided he'll be STRONGLY encouraged to read this one.

I wouldn't say it's groundbreaking and there's a bit of a hack suggestion to sacrifice for the sake of the children and stay with their crazy momma, but though I'm only about 30 pages in, I must say in reading it, all I could think about was if taken to heart what the book says could totally prevent all the crazy adult SD behavior many of us read about here.

I have a huge fear of my SDs getting knocked up as freshmen in high school like their mom did. This book gives data of the power involved, caring fathers have to combat our uber-messed up culture.

I might be wrong, but it seems like the introduction even alludes to a section about reconnecting with adult daughters for fathers who didn't do such a bang up job originally.

Anywho, I just thought I'd share in case anyone was interested as it seems most of our SD problems stem from DHs with their head up their ass trying to be the kid's friend and such. It's been a fascinating read so far and I won't hold my breath that DH will read it, but I plan to plant some seeds from it for him even if he doesn't.
