I shared this on a different Reddit, but I thought you all might wanna read it too.

!Update!📷I hope today was a great day for everyone, I personally had a good Friday. I'd like to update everyone on some thoughts I had about my post yesterday, and I'd like to thank everyone for some of the advice I got on it. Overall many were very respectful, but some people were just plain judgmental and rude. I'm a single father, military veteran, immigrant, and current EMT for my city. When I had lunch today I checked the tons of comments I had on my previous post, and realized maybe I should change my authoritarian game plan. So, I wrote out a list of new expectations I have for my teenage twin daughters (14yos). Before we continue, here's what I wrote:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\To My Beautiful Angels/I hope you both had an amazing day at school today, and i'll be home at 10:00PM tonight. I have recently become addicted to Reddit parenting, and got some advice on some situations that have recently been occurring. You both are almost 15, and I've been so proud of you two recently! You both have matured so much, and in dads opinion; are the most beautiful girls in the world. I love you both so much, and don't regret giving up all the times I could have been having "fun". I could go on, and on, but y'all have stuff to do. I have decided it's the time for you both to experience the world outside of all my control. So, here's the policy.Operation Daughter Dating: A Policy By Dad, To His Young Women-Never be frightened to tell the truth.-Always communicate with me when you're going to do something.-I must meet the boy/girl, and his/her parents.-Make sure you're always safe.-I will always be on your side, I'll always be dad.-Having fun doesn't always need to be a secret.I love both of you, and will forever more. You'll always be my favorite girls. Have fun.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I put this list on the kitchen counter, with some healthy snakes, and two envelopes with their names on it. Both envelopes had 50 dollars in it. I'm very proud of myself for actually doing it, I know it was the right thing. While writing this I got a call from my daughter Sasha literally crying because it just made her so emotional. Sofie on the other hand, wrote me a beautiful little text talking about how much I mean to her, and asking once again if it'd be alright for her to go to the movie, I said yes. We put down some rules, but it's going to work out. I can't wait till I come home, because I get to meet this boy, see how the movie went, and everything at 10:30. I'm going to invite him to diner with us. I'm from Germany, and this is just how things were when I grew up, but maybe being more free with them at this age? Thanks for reading all this, any thoughts? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2O039kl
