If you ever have a daughter–a blessing I wouldn't wish on anyone, because it's Murphy's Law that sooner or later she will break your heart–anyhow, as I was saying, if you ever have a daughter, you'll begin, without realizing it, to divide men into two camps: those you suspect are sleeping with her and those you don't. Whoever says that's not true is lying through his teeth. Anonymous
About This Quote

"If you ever have a daughter—a blessing I wouldn't wish on anyone, because it's Murphy's Law that sooner or later she will break your heart—anyhow, as I was saying, if you ever have a daughter, you'll begin, without realizing it, to divide men into two camps: those you suspect are sleeping with her and those you don't. Whoever says that's not true is lying through his teeth." This quote by Helen Gurley Brown is a warning to parents about their daughters. The idea is that there are two groups of men: those who your daughter might be sleeping with and those who aren't. Your daughter will bring about these two groups.

You can't trust all the men in your daughter's life because she might be sleeping with some of them. In other words "If you ever have a daughter" means "if your child ever grows up."
