re: Dads of daughters, I need some advice.

The best years for a daughter are 5-11 and 18+.

Cledus, while I understand how you feel right now, let me suggest that because this is all you know, your heart is filled. But as a grandfather, I assure you that many many more good days and times are ahead.

Wait until she looks at you and says "da-da." Or, after taking her first steps, few things will make you feel better than when she runs to you when you get home. Then there's the joy you will feel when the two of you share a significant moment, and she's old enough to understand how special it is. For me and my youngest daughter, we went to the 2003 national championship game together, and we shared, and both understood, the unique and special thrill of that moment.

Also, you will be thrilled for her when she makes the honor roll, joins the band or color guard (flag team). You will beam with pride when she gets the lead in a school play, or becomes the band's drum major. And along the way, you'll find happiness when she says something to a friend, and you'll know that what she says is due to your influence as a good parent.

And wrapping this up, on her wedding day, there's the special love you'll share when you walk her down the aisle, and place her hand in the hand of her groom. You'll know that you did a good job, that she's a fantastic young woman, and that she's chosen a good man. Then you get to start over again from the perspective of being a paw-paw.

I'm not saying it will all be easy. The teenage years may especially be trying, but she will make it through, and so will you. Buckle up; the road ahead is far from smooth, but trust me, you will be glad you traveled it.

Goddamn. She’s 5 months old. Grow a pair.

I look at my 5 year old daughter and am sad daily. It goes way too fast. Enjoy every second.

However, I find myself kind of, I don’t know, sad would be the most succinct way to put it, that she’s growing up. And there ain’t a damn thing I can do about it.

Yeah, it is going to be rough for him if this is where he is at over 5mo.

In have two. The best part of the day is when they run to the door when I come home from work.

Do they frustrate and annoy this piss out of me? Yes...but god damn they got me wrapped. Both are daddies girls.

I’ll miss them being this age (3 and 1). But I also won’t miss it

I have a 20 year old son and a 15 year old princess of the world.
When y'all are about to have a second child you wonder if you can possibly love that one as much as you do the first one.

My youngest just got her driver's permit. I still look at her like the dad in this commercial does his little girl.
