  1. I’m a single parent and a woman & yeah you didn’t ask me BUT lol that’s sorta co-parenting 101 is all… It’s not like going to get ice cream, it affects your daughter’s body, permission slips & all… Some women are cool & some are not so checking for good measure is always a good thing when co-parenting because at times our children can get one parent to do something the other doesn’t stand for… HOWEVER that goes BOTH WAYS in co-parenting 101 lol Awesome stuff being a daddy to your daughter JD! thanx!

  2. First thanks for the post JD and second I can agree with you as a father who sees his child not as often as i like only because i live in new york and her mother lives in Colorado it makes it hard so when i do have her with me i do make decisions the same way her mom makes them without me like take for instance hair i don’t want my daughter to have a perm well mom decided to straiten her hair, I did not want her to hair cut her mom cut it on her on i did not find out about till later what i do believe in is that my opinion counts as well as my judgement I mean lets keep it real when we was with them they knew that we would be good fathers or mothers the kids have clean clothes go to school and we do home work shit if we good for child support i know we good to make our on decisions right? well like nichele says we have to communicate but i guess communication goes only both ways and you cant be a hypocrite about it. It does suck tho cause i been cursed out many time more then i can count on clothes i buy for my daughter and i was like you serious and i was like you JD just shake my damn head but anyways two thumbs up to you JD makes father like me know we not alone damn we need our own segment men raising daughters alone reality show I’ll make sure i put that on my list when i get my status in the industry.

  3. Mr. Dupri,

    Even though I don’t have any children, I think a great job was done strengthening the relationship aspects with your daughter. Your natural ability to be open and supportive of this decision comfortably leaves more vocal room with choices in the future. From the outside looking in, I probably would’ve ran the idea by her mother first but then again, its just the ear (it can close). Keep up the good work…

  4. Love all your Livin the Life Vids, especially with your daughter.You are an AWESOME FATHER who clearly understands the responsibility of raising children. It is so obvious as your daughter is intelligent,confident and gorgeous. The first 2 traits that are a “must have” and the 3rd a blessing and a curse, LOL, that will turn you grey before your time and keep you on YOUR TOES FOR LIFE.lol
    I am married with a 13 yr old daughter. And when I think about it, LOL, in our house it would be a double standard on this topic of father trouble. I wouldn’t have to tell my husband “ahead of time” if I was taking my daughter, Aariniki, to get a piercing like your daughter. However, he WOULD have to tell me first and if I object, it won’t go down. NOW having said that, if for some odd known reason, my husband felt strongly that he was gonna do this with my daughter, there would be a conversation similar to probably the conversation you had with her Mother, and depending on the severity of the situation, a piercing ON AN EAR, having NO severity, I would have to digress and defer to his decision to get it. But yes, oddly enough, there is getting in trouble as a father, although I never thought about it in those words, it doesn’t sound good.lol However, love watching you parent and spend time with your daughter. My husband feels the same way you do about being a Dad of a 13 yr old going on 21, keeping them focused and on the RIGHT track-as a full time job. He spends equal 1 on1 time with my daughter, like I do. He is very passionate about giving her the correct example of how a man and woman relationship should be. He tries to give her all the love and affection as a father so that she doesn’t feel the need to go find it in some boy at school because she feels not worshiped or appreciated as a young woman.And even thou she is an elite athelete playing softball at the highest level she can at her age, he still constantly is solidifying her foundation set of her self esteem,confidence and poise while making sure she is NEVER cocky or arrogant, she is respectful,compassionate,hardworking etc. I feel like it is a tight rope walk everyday with a DAUGHTER, with less margin for ERROR. We have a 25 yr old son, he also an athlete and college graduate but he was SIMPLE compared to my daughter to raise. We had our son in our mid 20’s and our daughter in our late 30’s and THANK GOD we got to “practice on our son”, LOL, before she came along. Honestly, I am not sure how this project would be going if we had her first. The mistakes with our son were many and assorted but he was a boy and most just rolled right off his back. A GIRL. OMG, at any moment, I feel like, the wrong decision, could be life changing.lol Not that it really would be, but we would definetly have to live in THAT moment of the bad decision for much longer and with many more consequences and DRAMA, lol.So we can definetly relate to ALL things raising a 13 yr old daughter in today’s world. Keep the Videos coming! Happy New Year to you and your family.

  5. It’s only a ear, and parents are often pursuaded by their childerns desires for something or another, through out their childhood…. When that question came my way from my childern I simply said ok, because prior to them asking the question both me and their father had already spoke about it and decided if they were old enough to ask that we would allow it…. Ears only…..
