Two things- either this woman is simple, or very conceited to think her opinion based presentation of purity rings will change her mind. " well, when you put it that way- it's sweet! All creepiness gone!"
Second, this "protective" gesture of making sure your daughter's virginity stays intact until marriage has so much potential to be damaging. Heaven forbid, the daughter was subject to non consensual sex, they would most likely never go to the parents, let alone anyone else. It also can trickle down, if you can't tell your parents about the big stuff- why would you the little stuff. It's like a big wall blocking communication and a great big condition on your love at exactly the point in their lives that you want open v C ft and honest communication. I know we all make parenting mistakes, and some we luck out on. This one just seems so shortsighted though, ugh!
"Another symbol we presented him with was the sword. At that time the immense sword was almost his height. I explained to him that although he could not wage war right now with this imposing sword, he would grow into the weight of the sword just as he would grow into the weight of manhood. We sensed the incredible privilege and responsibility we have to stand courageously as mighty warriors of God calling our sons to "fight the good fight" (1 Tim. 1:18) for the sake of the cross."
Good grief.
What was it that Freud said about sexual repression?
ur second oldest daughter, Kayla turned 13 years old on November 1. Her feisty attitude, hunger for knowledge, and fearlessness to take on the world are so inspiring. We celebrated her birthday with her favorite meal and a few presents. Then her dad took her for a cup of coffee. He gave her a special gift, a purity ring along with this letter.
In a time where peer pressure is HUGE. Kids can get caught up in situations and moments where they aren’t sure how to respond. Her dad chose to give her a purity ring as an outward symbol of Jesus’ and his love for her during difficult situations.
As parents, we can’t watch our children continuously. As they grow we must teach them skills needed in life, then encourage them to explore the world, while we hope they have knowledge, faith, and the morals we have instilled in them. We have taught our girls to realize it’s their minds that make them beautiful…. not a revealing outfit or their bodies. We have taught our girls to respect themselves enough to wear clothing that is appropriate. No booty shorts here! Just because society has embraced TeenMom on MTV, doesn’t mean that is an acceptable path for a teenager. We are raising our girls to place an importance on education. Marriage and babies come after gaining knowledge and life experiences. We hope this purity ring will be a gentle reminder that TRUE LOVE WAITS!
The real crime here is her recipe section. I'm telling you right now tacosforlife, do not go there!
SHE USES BISQUICK!
I don't actually judge anyone who uses Bisquick as anything other than lazy, and we all know that laziness is my jam. But you don't blog about your recipes if all they are is mixing some stuff into Bisquick or putting jarred pasta sauce on store-bought noodles.

Bisquick is THE magic ingredient in these tasty little balls.
The writing in the "daddy letter" is so much better than the blog writing that it makes me think it was a form letter taken from some purity website or book.
I also find the daddy purity stuff creepy. If my dad had tried this there would have been one of two reactions from me. I would have thrown it back at him, or I would have quietly hidden the ring.

I made delicious ones from scratch this summer! (Of course I did.)
I had a really good comeback about how the last time her husband should have been that concerned with his daughter's vagina was the last time he cleaned a poopy diaper but the character limit got me.
She'll totally be sexing up some boy at Bible college with that ring on and no, she won't be thinking of Daddy. I hope.
Taking it up the ass for Jesus!
Have you seen the Garfunkle and Oats video The Loophole? It is NSFW but funny none the less since this is how many young women think because of those damn purity rings.
