My monthly papa said, “I’ll be like a parent to you.” What do you think he meant by that?
This content is machine-translated.
I’m a minor, and my papa is about 24 years older than me. We’re also intimate. He’s single and probably doesn’t have a girlfriend. He tells me not to see other men, so I thought maybe he wanted me to think of him as a boyfriend. But since he said he’d be like a parent to me, I’m not really sure what my position is in his life. Maybe he means something like, “You’re still a minor, so I’ll protect you from everything”?

“As a parent substitute…”
Hmm, I’m not really sure what he means by that.
I don’t think there’s any deep meaning behind it. Maybe he’s saying, “If you ever have money troubles, you can talk to me.”
But even if you did ask, I get the feeling he wouldn’t actually help you financially, so it seems kind of meaningless.
Maybe he just means, “I’ll at least listen to you.”

Do you mean acting like a parent—helping support her financially or something along those lines?
A real papa doesn’t have a physical relationship with his daughter, so the term feels pretty strange, haha.
I’d be way too embarrassed to say something like that myself.

It doesn’t really mean anything significant.
You shouldn’t expect too much financially, and I don’t think you need to be so nervous about it either.

I think “parent” was simply the word that came to mind because he felt too embarrassed to say, “Think of me as your boyfriend.” It probably doesn’t mean anything significant.

Just hearing about him, he sounds like an annoying papa (lol).
I don’t know what that papa is thinking, but telling her not to meet other men is incredibly presumptuous. And “parent”? Seriously? Since the person asking for advice is still a teenager, if he really saw himself as a parent, he should be encouraging her to gain more experience in the world.

I think it means, “I want you to come to me for advice and rely on me, even with things you can’t tell your parents. I’ll support you in various aspects of life.”
The words are “a substitute for your parents,” but the true intention is “like a lover.” Saying “like a lover” feels awkward and is hard to say outright, so I simply used “a substitute for your parents.”

You could interpret that as him saying, “Respect me more and look up to me more.” But let’s conveniently take it to mean, “You can rely on me for anything, like a parent.” Then get him to buy you even more things—enough to make that papa regret it and think, “That’s not what I meant…”
