Well said, P. I understand daughters are a nightmare for their fathers, especially eldest, firstborn ones.
For a start, your whole life up to that point becomes irrelevant. I mean, with boys, you can take them to the hockey and the rugby and the pub; you can read them the Iliad and take them to opera festivals in Italy. You can go shooting and coursing and you can take them to war with you or go hunting for buried treasure in the Caribbean and marlin fishing in Miami. Basically, they are a small version of you, with the same interests and temperament.
Daughters, on the other hand, you don't have the time or the imagination or the patience for, which is essentially why women's football/cricket/rugby etc. was invented. What they really need is to spend most of their time with their mothers, doing girly things like playing with Barbie dolls and skipping ropes and going shoe-shopping.
But raising kids is at least a two man job so, of course, you will also want to contribute, be a "good dad", whatever that may be. But, as I say, whatever you know, whatever you are interested in, is immaterial, if not actually harmful; at best, boring and pointless, so far as they are concerned. Even with your best efforts and with the best will in the world, they will find you dispositionally tedious and unimaginative.
