I came across this video father daughter date and thought it was just the cutest! Now many agree it’s a little creepy but I believe it’s because they’re not looking at the message behind it. Let’s be honest a lot of fathers don’t spend quality time with their kids especially their daughters.

Clearly she’s still what you would call a baby, granted, the fathers goal is not to persuade her to start dating at a young age, it’s so she could get an understanding of how she should be treated when the time comes. As a result he’s being a father, no correction he’s being a dad! Most importantly she’s enjoying her youth knowing that her father loved her dearly. From the look of it that’s something she will never forget, she will cherish these little moments for the rest of her life.

I don’t see anything wrong with that, maybe it’s the name of the video, or maybe it’s the way it started. Would this video receive that much negativity had it been called daddy daughter time, or the best father’s day ever?
Growing up I always wanted that closeness with my father, I was such a daddy’s girl but that quickly change because he was always working trying to put food on the table and making sure we had a roof over our heads. Now that I’m all grown up I understand and I still feel like I have the best father in the world! However as a little girl maturity didn’t hit me yet, there were days all I craved was attention from my father. I had a bond with my mother because she was always there, I knew she loved me, but I questioned if my father felt the same way. (That’s the mind of a little girl) I mean what are they supposed to know about bills at that age? You want them to look back on their childhood and say: my daddy did this, daddy did that, we went there and so on.

I encourage fathers to take their baby girls out with a father daughter date, and spend quality time together, treat them the way you would expect a gentlemen to treat them , open the doors for them, pull their seat out, so they won’t settle for anything less that way they’ll recognize a real man when they SEE one, . If you’re a father reading and feel it’s too late to do this, stop doubting yourself and stop with the excuses! Call your baby girl up right now and ask her out to lunch, or maybe dinner , for god sake… fine breakfast if you will. You don’t have to call it a date, or a father daughter date, find the perfect name for it and enjoy time well spent with the person who will always be your little girl.
