Dad’s ‘Rules For Dating His Daughters’ Goes Viral For All The Right Reasons

A dad has been praised online for posting his ‘rules for dating his daughters’.

Mr Welch is raising five daughters with his wife Natasha, and all daughters are from their respective previous relationships.

He says he understands “the urge to protect your daughters”. “I get that. But the kind of posturing by fathers of daughters I was specifically responding to had nothing to do with that ‘protective instinct’ and everything to do with asserting their dominance over women and reinforcing a belief that women need men to take care of them,” he told Today.

He adds that he was never the one meddling with his daughters’ “affairs of the heart.”

“I’m going to be real honest here: I’ve never actually been nominated for a ‘Father of the Year award,’ contrary to what several coffee cups in my cupboard would lead you to believe,” he added.

“That is exactly why I know that my daughters don’t need my help making important decisions about their relationships. These girls are my heroes!” he said.
