Where quality time with my sons happens spontaneously through couch wrestling, action movies, video games, and sometimes slightly dangerous outdoor activities, time with my daughter has to be much more intentional. Hopefully our sushi dates, nail painting sessions, and daily music lessons will give her a deeply secure attachment with the first man she'll ever love. It's an enormous responsibility. Share with other girl dads. We're all human and need a daily reminder of how important our job is ❤️ It doesn't matter WHAT you do together, it just matters that you ARE together.
