A little background info on me.

I had a daughter at the age of 16 when I moved out of the country to the Philippines. Her mom was good... Ultra feminine. She cooked for me, cleaned for me, etc. Being the dumbass kid at the time, I thought better of it and didn't marry her. Although honestly, I don't know if I should have.

Anyway, my daughter is turning 13 now. How should I raise her? Any tips? She lives in another country. We keep in touch through facebook mostly. Last time I visited her was maybe... 3 years ago.

I know... I haven't been the best male role model, but now I feel that I really am ready. For the most part, I kind of try to "teach" her via our facebook chats. Some of things I tell her are: I think she is beautiful... I tell her that she is an inspiration to me to do my best everyday... I tell her that her own internal self worth comes from within, and can not be determined by the clothes you wear, or what other people think of her.

I want her to know she's special, but at the same time I don't want her to have that princess complex that is so prevalent in american girls... What do my fellow red pillers think?

Anything else I can do or say to her? I know eventually she's going to grow up and get married. Even right now, I see that she posts stuff on Facebook about boys... I don't know what to do.... I just want her to be a good girl.
