Damn why are dads in manga so overprotective. She's an adult already, she can take care of herself. If I ever become a dad, I would be the chillest dad ever.

As a father of a 3-year old girl, I ain't saying I'm planning on becoming like that guy, but kids are so freaking helpless and at the same time so sweet (or mine is anyway) and imagining something happening to them makes you die a little inside, and I can imagine that when they get older and they start living their own lives and you gotta let them expose themselves to the real dangers of living in the world without being able to interfere or do anything about it, you get flashbacks to back when they were helpless and you get this same super intense reflex to keep them safe from harm that you used to get when they were small. Becoming a parent is super scary in a way, because it creates an entirely new worst case scenario in your life, which is worse than death.

you get flashbacks to back when they were helpless

That's a bit like how most parents are. Regardless of how old the children become, they're still small children to the parents.

Well, see. That's why a parent's role is to "prepare" them and give them the tools they need to survive in this world. Not be on their case all the time. That becomes overbearing and hinders their independance. You can however be close but not too close, so that you can react if they ever ask you for help. You've got your own life after your kids leave the nest, after all. =/

And see, the protect reflex when they are babies is normal, but you as a parent also need to grow out of it and start trusting your kid. This will empower them more than you think. And if they mess up, well, daddy will be there to help, won't he?

Yes, you are correct and I didn't intend to imply otherwise, I just wanted to give my subjective perspective on the inner emotional life of a parent in the hopes that it'd make it a bit easier for others to relate to this silly old man.

@blurgh123 I bet you'd be like the dad in Horimiya

But I do get this Musubu's dad tho. My Dad's so overprotective like this as well. He lets us do want we want, but you can see the pain and worry in his eyes lol. My mom would reassure him we're old enough to take care of ourselves.

Horis dad is peak anime dad
