Yep. Some daughters go along with this until they are 100 years old just to make their fathers feel like the big bad patriarch for eternity. Fathers are considered the protector to the point where a grown ass woman gets around her father and starts acting like a submissive baby.
To a lesser extent this happens with mothers and sons. I know of mothers (and sisters) who consider themselves the woman in their sons' (and brothers') lives to the point where they haze the hell out of any other woman. It is very strange.
