I just had my little girl 2 weeks ago today. I've already turned into a pussy.

This right here. My daughter is the only girl/woman that has ever made me reevaluate whats important and make changes. I eat healthier. I save more money. I slow down and teach her anything she asks about.

Nothing is greater then the bond between a father and a daughter.

that commercial with the tatted up wrestler looking guy doing the tea pot thing with his daughter pretty much says it all.

It helped my temper. Showed me true love. Reignited my drive and determination. Made me find the balance between work and life. I use to be the type who would work my life away, 12-16 hours a day, every day, and then go blow the money on clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc.. Now she has more clothes and shoes than I do, I literally live for her. Started taking my health more seriously.

You're supposed to teach your kids not to be dorks, not the other way around.

I wanted another son but got a daughter. Looking back now it was the best thing. She grew up following me around, playing sports and doing all the outdoor things like my son did. She was the kid who never made a B in school and was very driven in school and sports and really didn't pay much attention to boys. My son was more laid back and did just enough to get by in school.
Now she's 20 and finishing up her junior year in college. The hardest day for me was moving her in that first semester of college, leaving her 8 hours away was tough at first. She still texts or calls me just about every day. It was fun though meeting her new boyfriend the first time. I had flown up to drive back with her for semester break and he was scared as hell when we went pick him up to go out for dinner.
He's a good kid and has a bright future, she (we) could have done much worse.

I have a 2.5 year old daughter and a .5 year old daughter.

With 3 at home, one of them at any point in time is going to be emotional about something.

I know every word to Frozen, Tangled, Sofia the first.

It's worth every second.

I was a fan of Rico and Jackson on Hannah Montana and hated to see Miley Cyrus turn into a skank.

I've driven mine to school almost every morning since kindergarten and picked up most afternoons as well and no one calls me during that time because they know I won't answer. It's our time. Now she has her permit and next year will drive herself and I'm not sure how that will affect me.

She hunts, fishes, plays sports and still gets her hair and nails done and dresses like a young lady so she has a lot going for her. Cool little shy boyfriend that can't hardly utter a word around me. I tease them relentlessly.

I can't ever imagine my life without her.

I am a better man because of my daughter; plain and simple.



Same here.

She's made me try even harder to be a good husband because I want to set the right example for her.

She's definitely made me more patient, gentle, and kind in my daily life. Not that I completely lacked any of those before her, she's just made me more so.

Started taking care of myself now. Got a real checkup for the first time in about a decade. Started taking the meds I probably should've been taking for a while. Started doing cardio again. I want to be able to run and play with her for years to come. Want to be around to teach her, protect her, and enjoy watching her grow up.

Finally, on one hand, she's made me a bit of a softie, like others have mentioned. Melts my heart a bit every time I come home from work and her face erupts into a big ole smile to greet me. On the other, I'd happily maim, murder, or sacrifice every sorry motherfricker on this board if she needed it

Actually after she was born I had to develop tamer hobbies. Playing old games is one of the ones I developed recently.

I hear ya, I've been trying to find one of those retro NES Classics so I could play some video games with my two without these new fangled twenty button controllers.
