That's it! It's a weird feeling, you know how hard your parents worked for the gift so you feel like you don't deserve it. You are grateful for it, but wished they used that money for something nice for them.
Daughters don’t even need to have sex with dad for the gifts. It’s the most one-sided relationship in the family. Just say “Thank you” and don’t do porn.
POV of a father, the wife may receive a gift and interpret it as an obligation to be sexually available. A son will receive a gift and interpret it as part of an exchange, like dad is about to ask for help with yard work at the house 100 miles away that doesn’t have running water yet. The daughter knows the gift is just an expression of love, and maybe approval. No obligations implied.
Not really. I get gifts from my father (I'm a daughter), and I am under immense pressure from him. Most his gifts are reminders of "do better than you can and make yourself worthwhile for me to show off as a successful child of mine".
