50 Rules for Dads of Daughters

Written by Michael Mitchell, this is beautiful.

My favorites...

1. Love her mom. Treat her mother with respect, honor, and a big heaping spoonful of public displays of affection. When she grows up, the odds are good she’ll fall in love with and marry someone who treats her much like you treated her mother. Good or bad, that’s just the way it is. I’d prefer good.



6. Buy her a glove and teach her to throw a baseball. Make her proud to throw like a girl… a girl with a wicked slider.

7. She will fight with her mother. Choose sides wisely




18. Tell her she’s beautiful. Say it over and over again. Someday an animated movie or “beauty” magazine will try to convince her otherwise.

19. Teach her to change a flat. A tire without air need not be a major panic inducing event in her life. She’ll still call you crying the first time it happens.



30. Never miss her birthday. In ten years she won’t remember the present you gave her. She will remember if you weren’t there.

41. Take it easy on the presents for her birthday and Christmas. Instead, give her the gift of experiences you can share together.



42. Let her know she can always come home. No matter what.

46. When in doubt, trust your heart. She already does.

Have a great weekend!
