Re: Let me try this again

I would think a more standard way to handle that would be to set up some reward system for coming out with clean feet.

She's not a dog.

"Nope, sorry sweetie, your feet still have dirt on them. No treat tonight."

I hope that's not how you raised your daughters.

Does this include knowledge of the special eye contact that happens more then that any other time? You wrote of much more than just supervising a bath.

Dante, your post went right over his head.

I think of "romantic feelings" as extra and what we associate with peers being in love. There's some tendency for those feelings to be expressed with things like....

Have you ever been assessed for Asperger's Syndrome? Your ideas about the ways that other people think and feel seem to lack authenticity. Your writing and analysis is also cold and mechanical, btw. Dunno if anyone's ever told you.

In any case, you don't understand of girl-love. Sorry, there's no way. If you are a pedophile, then it is not in orientation.

My best guess is that you like kids in a "non" kind of way, and that any sexual interest you may have in them is more on the level of "fetish"...

I've noted based on stories here and elsewhere that pedophiles often have trouble setting limits with the kids they like, and I see that as a potential problem too if a person is feeling "in love".

It's become abundantly clear to me that you see children as subordinate creatures with whom anything but an authoritarian or perhaps pseudo-friendship type relationship is somehow fundamentally damaging.
