I have a daughter who is 15 years old. She lost her mum (my wife) when she was 2 years old, so she is very close to me ever since. She confides to me everything, which was fine with me, but it became very difficult for me to be good listener to her when she became a teenager. The problem is that being a single dad it is very awkward for me to answer or listen to teenage secrets that are very "girly" to me. She talks and share almost every secrets with me for example her periods, her friend's crush, make-up, fashion, bras, etc. Sometimes I openly told her not to confide the "girly stuffs" with me but she always gets upset when I say that and starts crying. I know that she have little friends in her high school as she is extremely introvert but still as a dad I find it very awkward for me to listen to her girly secrets. So how can I make my daughter understand not to share her secrets with me?
