Analysis of It's Just Natural
"You're what?" said the man to the woman. Disbelief is the usual state of mind men have, when it comes to the outcome of love making. Never mind the change of dynamics to the relationship of the couple. A child comes first, foremost and last in the thoughts of the parents. Women come to terms with it, quickly. Men go to pieces, absolutely. This is true when the child is a daughter. Especially so! This is not to say that men are stupid in raising children. They just want to avoid doing the work.
To a certain extent, raising a son is almost automatic. This cannot be said in raising a daughter. The initial contact --and shock-- of a father holding "his" little girl for the first time makes him swear a solemn oath to God that he will do his best to teach her right about life. Thereafter, mishaps, mistakes, and misbehaving interfere with the lessons. It's just natural.
It is a learning experience both have to adjust to accommodate each other. Conflict closes off the heart and mind; whereas, love opens up hope for a better understanding. There are many phases that cycle between a father and daughter. A mutual respect and admiration for life is the goal a father should teach his daughter, through his actions. This foundation of character will carry one through life, and aid in helping the next generation to live and thrive. It's just natural.
