Daddy and daughter...

Have a lot of differences with my father (I am the daughter). He is no saint, and neither am I.
He does a lot of little and big things for me. Some that I can't do or don't know how to. Others, I can and do know how. Yet, I am the "princess" whom he needs to serve.
Of course there are a lot of things that I feel he failed me and it is not as if he will suddenly stop failing me. But then, I think he failed me because I want it my way. I may be right, or he may be right. To each his own.
All I know is that Dad's do care. Be it JJ, DE, or Pony.
Here is a song dedicated to just that species...called dad. No special reason...just that one daughter is feeling better that she has one.
We have a studio recorded version of this song, but wanted to do a LIVE cover of it! CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfrREf-q6PbTxNgsB5...

Hardly. lol. I think I drill understanding in him. lol. But in general, there are many things he does without me asking him to do, like this morning we had to go out early in the morning around 7 am. I got up rushed to brush my teeth and bath, and by the time I was back, he was folding my blanket. Sigh.

@vandana7 Oh you shouldn't expect everything to be done by him. You too have the responsibilities, haven't you?

@creativeaashish Yes, yes, I do. I don't expect him to do much, but he is so good in somethings that dependence on him comes naturally.

This post reminded me of my dad. Unlike you we were alike in so many ways. I always won in our arguments though. He never failed me. He had given me more than what I wanted. I miss him so.

@toniganzon Ouch...so so sorry ..
I am really sorry for your loss. How did you survive all that? Relatives, or on your own? That is why I feel helping an orphan is better than helping people who have parents, and everything going for them.

Actually, dad and me differ much because we stayed away from each other. I lost my mom around five and a half, and have been in hostels since age six. Even around graduation, dad was working in another town, and I was studying in another town. I had no traditional family framework to fit in. That is why such a set up terrifies me. I would run a million miles from it because I am simply not comfortable with the intrigues that come with standard joint family systems out here. That said, there are many things that I took dad for granted. Thanks to JJ and others, I realized in time that dad is my best ally.

@vandana7 He will always be your ally.
I lost both my parents when I was 13.

I really loved the clipping so natural and so casual and yet sung so well. Right song selection too. There is another version, but there she seems a bit nervous, though still as sweet.
Yeah, it is more good than bad, which sets me up for a lot of pain in future, right? Either way...:(

As you know I worship the ground my daughter walks on. She can do nothing really bad in my eyes! Biased yes!!! Of course I remember telling her one day " I know I treat you like a Princess but there is no need to act like one" after she had made a terrible mess in the kitchen. I have never seen anyone move so fast in my life! Soon the kitchen was pristine again! A very Happy Christmas to you Princess Vandana!

In general, people think only mothers love their children. That is such a wrong notion! While some men are bad, women too can be bad. Most "normal" men care, just that they don't show or their way of caring gets taken for granted. Merry Christmas to you too. :)

@garymarsh6 My father does not verbally express love. But he cried when I had chicken pox, and when I was suspected to have TB, I could see him sitting by my bedside in the night crying. In day time, when I asked him to stay, he would not. lol. So it was kind of tough to read him.

Was a daddy's girl/favorite daughter yet I was brought up being hit by a belt, spanked in the butt, yelled at in public places, and anything a person nowadays can consider as corporal punishment. Still, I have always been proud since I was a kid because my parents are strict disciplinarians. I was never a rebel. It instilled discipline in me. Honestly, sometimes, I miss corporal punishment. Now, my parents have been so lenient with their grandchildren (my nephews and nieces).

It's hard to be strict with your grandchildren...

I have also been subjected to being slapped and beaten, and yelled at in public places. I still get yelled when others are around. But I am now able to brush it off. I have had to be rebel, to save me and us. I am glad I took that stand, and so is my father happy that I was defiant.

Dad and me have a lot of differences. There is no denying that. I try to be amicable with others, whereas dad's attitude is people are all out to cheat us or get at us. He creates turbulence, and I am left to pacify folks. My problem often is, standing up for dad in front of others, and standing up for others inside home. Conflicting situations. lol. Even so, I would not want to lose him.

I have always loved arguments with the ones I care about. My dad was not fond of this though, at least from his kids. So we used to have a merry time, especially when two of us were alone. There have been other regrets, but avoiding this conflict in later days is quite a prominent one.
It's always a pleasure to hear good things from you
