I don't think anything's wrong with the dad taking care of the child, though. One would assume he was single for a while after his divorce and before he remarried, and he must have been taking are of her then.



If she is handicapped and needs help, why would it suddenly be weird that her father is helping. I would find it weird if the father didn't help. The new wife makes me want to . It's wonderful the father takes care of his daughter and making it into something sexual or weird is disgusting and unnecessary.

Agreed, but the word silly may not be strong enough.

Yeah, not bad. As I said in another topic I knew a man who had to help his 15 year old daughter with pretty much everything, and no woman to help. They were close though so no biggie.

I once was in the hospital after an operation and couldn't go to the bathroom (#1). The anesthesia had also anesthetized the "parts" down there.

So I had to call someone to stick a tube up there so I could go. I could CARE LESS who it was because I had to go (a lady nurse showed up). Anyway sometimes people need help from others and they can't be picky about who it is.

I have been sent to rehab centers - nursing homes - for follow up convalescing after hospital stays.

Little old white ladies were bathed, dressed and whatever needed to be done by big black young men everyday. They were always friendly and from what I saw very comfortable in their company. I bet many would find fault with it.

I don't see the problem, people care for people regardless of class, skin color, age or relationship. It's a human function and a calling for many. I was once in a hospital waiting for a nurse to come and remove a catheter. There I was, a 38 year old man expecting some old woman or male nurse to show up when in comes a drop dead gorgeous 19 yo nursing student. She asked if I wanted her to do it fast or slow.

Life ain't fair.

I don't think she be giving her opinion, because if the daughter wanted her to change her, she would let her.
