Moms, how have you prepared Dad for your daughter’s puberty?

As if we didn't have enough to do, now we have to get dads ready for our daughter's puberty too.  Only kidding with the sarcasm, because of course we should do that.  For the most part, because we are women, we have a greater understanding of our daughter's puberty experience.  We went through female puberty ourselves, for what for some of us seems like way too many years ago. 

One mom said, I get to do puberty and my husband does driving lessons.  In my household, when my daughter was a teen, I did both.  She grew up having a healthy respect for her body.  However, she somehow managed to get the door to the car pulled off once - before the car even left the garage; she got a speeding ticket at the age of 16; and had a fender bender within a year of getting her license.  Don't worry though, she grew up a good driver and has been a responsible owner of her body and her car for many years!

Back to the dads and puberty.  There is some very helpful content on WebMd about preparing Dad for puberty.  Take a look and let me know what your experience has been.
