Daughters. Ladies tell me. Gents your opinion....?

Question

I've always wanted a daughter. I want to spoil her rotten! She will be a princess and will get whatever she wants. Yup, she will be daddy's little girl until the day she dies. My question is...

-How many of you ladies grew up that way?
-Did it have an impact on you later in life? Good or bad?

I have a 12 y/o son. Laziest little bastard I've ever known!

Serious answers please. Happy holidays!

Answer 1

I have a great life and I am very close to my dad but the most valuable thing you can give a person is your time. Spoil her with love and show her what kind of man she should end up with. Girls who grow up with good father figures who are respectful and kind end up with good men. You sound like a wonderful man who would be an outstanding father to a lucky girl.

Answer 2

Well i never grew up with my dad spoil me rotten my mom and dad were not together for long so i lived with my mom but you know i know my dad tryed the best he could and i love him for that i am the only girl out of 3 brother when i was born aucally the first words he said was Holly Sh*i lol but yes i love my father and no matter what i will always be his little girl and yes it did really have a huge inpact on my life not having my father around but personaly i dont think you should spolit her rotten because she can grow a huge attatue and think when she get's older she can get whatever she want's. I think no matter what if you spoil her rotten or not she will always be daddy's little girl :) good luck and if you do happen to have a girl i wish you all the best of luck and health

Answer 3

I have two sons and a daughter, and I raised them all as humans first and let the genders take care of themselves later. All three kids had all kinds of nice things, and none of them has been at all spoiled.

Do you give your son whatever he wants? Is calling him a lousy name (even if its supposed to be funny) seem like something you're imagining calling your imaginary daughter?

With all due respect, there's some creepy vibe you're giving off with your question; and if you give off creepy vibes such as having some unequal view of sons versus daughters, don't be surprised if any daughter you have does what my daughter has done and announced at four years old that she was "twin brains" with me, her mother.

Did you treat your boy like a little prince? If not, why not start treating him a little that way now...

The only way you'll get a girl who is a "daddy's girl" is if you are the parent who sees her potential and values her abilities as a human being, and even then you'll be up against the mother/daughter relationship which is a pretty tough nut to crack unless the mother isn't normal.

Answer 4

I wouldn't say I've grown up SPOILED, but definately blessed. Work ethic was enforced to me, but I'vedefinately had my spoiled moments. I think that spoiling a child rotten has some effects later in life. The child may grow up and have no work ethic, and no sense of hard work, and accomplishment. Since everything in life has been handed to them, and they've in a sense been spoon fed, they may have a hard time entering the world. I'm not sure spoiling a child rotten is a good idea, there are goign to be times where your daughter needs to be independent, and she won't know how since you've held her hand in life everyday.

Answer 5

Well being that I was 1 of 3 girls my dad had I learned many things like sharing and not being selfish. But being that I have a little girl now I feel it's best that ' did spoil her cause that would show her that I truly love her (while she's young) but then when she gets old enough to know I will teach her what's right and what's wrong and how to be independent or other thing in the matter.

Answer 6

I did and it makes the WORLD of difference to have my Daddy around. I absolutely adore him, not because he spoiled me with things but with his time and love. There are times when I feel too spoiled when dealing with relationships later in life, but in the end I have realized that this is why my Daddy spoiled me. To let me know that this is what I should expect from a man. Dont get me wrong, I am independent and smart, but never naiive to fall for a stupid guy! Good luck with your future daughter!

BTW... older brothers are good to have for girls. They look out for them, so she will probably bless you and your son! Happy Holidays!

Answer 7

omg, i so want to be your daughter..hahha ok serious, i did not grew up like that.. having what ever i please and such.. i believe it has been fun and a lot of crazy experiences than what i hear from others who as been the princess of their house who couldn't do some simple things or got no clue at all. it's ok for you to spoil your daughter a little bit but she still has to learn how life is... stand on her own feet when time comes. to tell you the truth there will come a time that you couldn't be with her anymore.

Answer 8

I was raised by my father after my mother left us. This was fairly uncommon in the 1970s. I was also an only child. I was daddy's girl, spoiled rotten and to this day, nine years after his death, I can honestly say that man is still God to me. I expect to be treated well by men because I watched my father for an example. There is no greater love than that of a girl for her father. Except, of course, the love of my little girl for me...

Answer 9

A few of my friends and cousins are daddy's girls.

They grow up idolizing their dad a lot, and many of them say that they want to marry someone similar to their dads. However, i find them women of weak character, always needing men to rely on. This is because it was their dad who raised them, therefore they had no female model to emulate.

I suggest you turn your focus first to raising your son well. Your son needs a male role model for him to turn out a great man.

As for daughters, I still believe mothers know best when raising girls up, but fathers play an important role as well (for many girls, their dads are their first bases on what they should look for in men)

It's all about the balance the two parents make when raising their children.

Answer 10

You know, I have 4 children and you can spoil them rotten and do everything in the world for them, but when they reach a certain age, they are going to have a mind of their own and their own personality and you're going to wind up saying,"What did I do wrong?" Don't get me wrong; it's not that they don't love you, it's called being a teen-ager.
