From a young age my daughter Jenny loved the attention of others, enjoyed the spotlight whenever possible and I knew she would be a handful when she was older. I taught her about the good and bad of the internet, with creeps and trolls being a big part of it. That no matter what she did there will always be someone making fun of, making mean comments, and if she changes to make them happy then others will comment the opposite. When she was young I let her start using all social media and she started to get a good following and she kept up with it as well as school as she was smart. She even started earning money from it.
I have been my daughter's Instagram dad for years, always taking the pictures and video, and helping navigate the comment section. I helped her pick out outfits, places to pose, things to do in video, and editing.
Me and her always have had a good relationship, we fought and she hated me from time to time when she thought I was not allowing what she wanted, but usually she came around to my side. She had a few friends that made the mistakes I told her about and they had issues that affected their lives more than they thought. I am very open, understanding, and not a hypocrite like most parents. Many would say don't drink as they drank every night, don't have sex as most had sex and many were having affairs. I always told her if you do this, then expect this to happen. If you are unprotected you might get pregnant or get an STD that can last your whole life.
Her mom started to fall into that category and left us when Jenny was a junior We both took it kind of hard and it was more difficult as we were in a small town and everyone talked about it constantly. So just after Junior year ended Jenny asked if we could move, I agreed and we started looking at places. I was from the Denver area from birth so when she suggested there I was excited and I got us a nice penthouse apartment with great views of the mountains, she helped me decorate it. We started back with the pictures and videos at new places in the new city and surrounding area. She started senior year and things started to get back to normal for us.
On her 18th birthday in May she came to me and said we needed to talk. We were sitting in the living room and she said "Please listen and I will explain and then you can discuss." I nodded and she went on "I want to start an OnlyFans page now that I am 18, I have thought about this a lot the last year. I want to show off my sexy body more and with the money I will make I can really expand my life with the things I want and to assist with college funds."
"If this is what you want and you have thought it through with all the good and bad?" I replied.
"I have, I know there will be both good and bad comments, this is what I want." she continued.
"What are you looking at going for content?" and I asked "with whom to help?"
"Just lingerie or naked. Maybe I will do some solo time?" she then continues "I mostly want to do clothing, bikini, and lingerie try-ons and stuff like that with occasionally being naked as I love to have that attention. I do have a need so maybe I will take care of them from time to time as an extra special bonus."
"Ok, and when people request more all the time, it gets overwhelming. Are you going to stop Instagram then?
"No, I still want to do that, just add the other channel." she replied. " I will keep them separate so that no one that follows my Instagram will know about it, just starting a fresh following."
"How often do you plan to upload?"
"I was thinking that I could start out with 1 a day for now, I would also like to shoot a few things a day so I have stuff in case I get sick or need a day off I can still upload something that day."
"I will get you more filming things to do by yourself and help you put them up in your room." I said as I told her to get ready so we can head to Best Buy and B&H. We got everything we needed, a few cameras, storage, editing software and a laptop to edit on, as well as some fun lighting options. We then went to get her some stuff for her first try-ons at the mall.
We went got a cake to celebrate and she asked for a small cake for her new channel, as girlie as possible with Happy 18 on it and then some balloons with two being the gold 1 and 8 balloons. We got home and she hung the balloons in her room in the frame of the wide angle camera.
About 11 PM she got up and headed to her room on the one end of the apartment from the kitchen and at midnight, like the New Year countdown, she counted down to her 18th and I heard faith cheering. A little after 1 AM she came out to the living room, freshly showered, and in her PJ's.
"Well the first video is done and uploaded" she told me.
You uploaded it already, did you edit it?" I asked.
"Yes, it was a short introduction video. It showed me on my 18th with a countdown and that way they knew it was the first one I could make. I blew out the candles on my cake, danced around to celebrate, then slowly took my clothes off, and touched myself a little so they knew what to expect in the future." She continued that she wanted to kick it off big.
We both headed to bed about 2 AM since it was the weekend and we had nothing planned so we could sleep in. My room is on the other side of the apartment from hers so I could not hear anything coming from her room. As I got up and went to the kitchen to start breakfast, she came out looking all dolled up.
"Good morning, what do you want for breakfast?" I started and then noticed her make-up and outfit, "have you been working already?"
"Yes, I did a video on the balcony of my room with a sunrise view, and then did a clothing haul video of what we got at the mall yesterday." she explained.
"Ok, glad you're putting effort in, hope it is going well." I then asked again "What do you want for breakfast?"
"Eggs and bacon with toast please" she replied.
I made breakfast and then we headed off to explore more of Colorado. We went hiking and biking and found out about the Indian Hot Springs so we headed there to relax. Of course we did everything with plenty of picture stops for Instagram and I edited them when we got home.
The next few months were mostly normal with prom, she went with a friend, graduation she passed with a B+ average, and then summer started and we were planning a bunch of day trips, camping weekends, etc.
