Line 1: {{trope}} Fathers in anime, and often in [[Sitcom~~\|Sitcoms~~]]s, tend to be <s> borderline</s> homicidal in protecting the celibacy and chastity of their daughters. To these endearingly [[Overprotective Dad\|overprotective fathers]], their daughters will ''always'' be their little girls; for a boy to even hold hands with her, much less take her [[First Kiss]] or give her heavy petting, is as bad as rape in his eyes. And [[Papa Wolf\|God help you]] if you are [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown\|caught in bed with her]], even if its [[Not What It Looks Like]]. Mothers, on the other hand, often see things differently. The more zealous the father is about interfering with the awakening of his daughter's sexuality, the more likely it is that the mother will help it blossom. Line 10: If this trope occurs in a Western program, the daughter may resent her mom's well-meaning meddling even more than her dad's attempts to keep her from having a love life at all. ---- === ~~'''~~Examples~~''':~~ === * Even if the fearsome <s> crime boss</s> businessman Nogizaka Gento wants his little girl [[Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu\|Nogizaka Haruka]] to stay "pure" forever, his very "convincing" wife, Akiho, isn't going to have any of that, oh no... Line 21: * Ichigo of ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew]]'' has exactly this family. Shintaro's an [[Overprotective Dad]] but Sakura gives her all the help she needs and more. ** Same went to Usagi from [[Sailor Moon]], whose [[Hot Dad]] Kenji was very overprotective whereas [[Hot Mom]] Ikuko was all "bring your boyfriend home for dinner!". * George Banks in [[Father of the Bride]] is an example of this throughout the entire movie and into the sequel. He hates the idea of his daughter getting married, dislikes her fiance the moment he meets him and continues to do so despite the young man's many ~~attributes--a~~attributes—a nice guy with good looks/education/job/family, and when his daughter announces her pregnancy, is further incensed and completely convinced that the young man somehow took advantage of her. Needless to say, his wife's feelings are the complete opposite of his. * [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6336795/6/A_Mothers_Love One chapter] of the ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' fanfic "A Mother's Love" (dealing primarily with the relationship between Mai and her own daughter, but containing the rest of the family as well) has this. As Ursa (the daughter, named of course after ''the'' [[Mama Bear\|Ursa]]) is both the youngest of four and the only girl, Zuko is ''incredibly'' protective of her to the point of severely frightening all her potential boyfriends. Mai reminds him that ''she'' was younger than Ursa when she fell in love with ''him.'' Zuko lightens up a little, but is still extremely protective. * The [[Trisha Yearwood]] song "She's in Love with the Boy" has a classic example of this in its third verse, where Katie's father is about to unleash his wrath upon Katie's boyfriend Tommy when they come home after midnight. Katie's mother breaks in and reminds her husband that he wasn't that much different from Tommy back in the day, and that they had faced just as much opposition from ''her'' father.
