it’s different when you have a boy compared to a girl.

Every age reveals an equally special moment. As if their perfect at that exact moment. They're growth physically, intellectually, spirituality, and emotionally will amaze you everyday. Mine are 9 and 7 and I want to freeze time everyday. And every day that follows I'm glad I got to see the people they've become and want to freeze things again.

That usually happens before we leave to go drop them off in the morning.

11mo daughter at our house. I know the feeling, but it's overpowered by being excited to see the little person she becomes

You raise sons to leave and daughters to stay.
Enjoy every second of every milestone. 2-5 was my favorite, but to be honest, every day is a gift. My daughter is 12 and still just as sweet and perfect as the day she was born.

Mine just graduated high school and the last few years have been torture. Up until she graduated - I passed her room and just about cried. Yet when I talk to her, I realize she still loves me - she just needs to live her own life.
She still bugs me at the most inopportune time, but now I’m glad to talk to her instead of ughh what is she going to ask me for now?
Love - no savor- every single moment and every single season. That house is lonely when they graduate.

Divorced dad of two here. 9yo girl and 11yo boy. I’ve mentioned it before, but my son is autistic, has developmental and speech delays. I didn’t count on him having special needs. I looked forward to being the kind of dad that took his boy fishing, teaching him how to ride his bike, playing catch, etc. so don’t assume. I love him dearly, but he needs something different from me than he would otherwise.
Now about your daughter and girls generally, enjoy that lovey-dovey shite while it lasts. They learn how to talk and typically come with a boatload of attitude as they grow up. I absolutely love my daughter to pieces and she’s a total daddy’s girl, but you’ve GOT to be firm with them. My daughter pushes, but knows that dad does not//will not tolerate too much of her shite. You’ve got to set boundaries for them or you’re in for a world of trouble when they get older.

I never knew I could love another thing in the entire world as much as I love my little girl.
Pretty much sums it up for all Dads.
Boys and girls are different but that love you describe is bottomless and inexhaustible and is a well you will be able to draw from for one child or five, boys or girls.
Congratulations. Your sentiments do you credit. That kind of love comes from God.

Don't let em have social media, don't give em a phone until they move out of the house. Girls are vicious.

Don’t compare yourself to your wife or any other parent, for that matter. I know it sounds trite, but be yourself with her. Be genuine. Let her see how much you love her mother-I think that’s one of the greatest gifts you can give a child.

Thank you. Glad to be back. I appreciate the word of support in the reinstatement thread.

Time is undefeated. They don’t stop growing. 16 and 11 year old girls. One is hitting the beginning of “being an adult” and social life is starting to flourish.
Just adjust as they go. No one has a solid answer.

This is why they become teenagers. It makes it easier to send them off to college.

This. The teenage years are the cure for any lingering parental attachment issues.

Dads of daughters, I need some advice.
Dad of a beautiful 11 year old daughter. She has always captivated everyone she comes in contact with. She has had a rough go from being in utero to losing many close relatives to snapping her leg last year but she has always been well grounded. She is smart and can intellectually explain her conservative viewpoints. I have had some help but pretty much raised her by myself. I do share those times where I hate to see her grow up but you roll with it! I am blessed beyond measure over all! No complaints!!! Just stay the course and raise her right! The rest hopefully works out!

My daughter is 3 now and those 3 years have passed in the blink of an eye. It’s amazing how much she’s changed, learned and grown in that time. Enjoy those feelings bc it passes too quickly.

Divorced dad also with a boy who is 9 and daughter who is 11. Yes the bond is different between a son versus a daughter. I love my kids severely and unfortunately had an ex who tried to keep me from them. So I gave up a dream job and moved 1500 miles from La to live next to them. Best choice of my life. Throughout your life, you will make sacrifices that they will never know. I always make it a point to love them equally but a little girls love just hits differently. Little boys are tough and like to forge their own path. Cherish every moment.
