I don't think that you are alone lol. When my husband and I had our first daughter I constantly heard what men are like. My husband and I devised this plan since it was going to be impossible to keep her small we loved her,we guided her together in knowing the difference between right and wrong, we have given her the ability to make mistakes but learn from them not make the choice to repeat them, we gave her self confidence, now he is gone and shes 13 and I still have to love her just the same way only I do it for two now and remind her that even though daddies not here he is proud of you.
Just think when your daughter does meet and Fall in Love with one of your Marines she will have all those values you showed her and she will be able to be loved back.
Daughters are great scary but great You can't show her how to be a man but you can show her what a man is suppose to be good luck

I remember those days. I have 3 daughters and a granddaughter now. You need to relax and keep building those memories of a wonderful childhood, and be a great father. Then when those marines want her she will have the oomph to tell them where to go until after she is finished college. I sit and think, one day my youngest will grow up (she is now 12), and her father will walk her down the aisle to get married, and I will be there standing with a puddle at my feet because during that walk I will remember when she first put her tiny feet into her dad's size 13 work boots, or when she caught her first fish, while fishing with her dad. When she wanted to get her own little work boots. And now as she gets her dads "male" opinion on her clothes, but still runs to give him a kiss and a hug before bed. It is hard, but it is soooo worth it. Now I am crying again....LOL. You can't stop it so you might as well enjoy it, and make sure she knows growing up just how much her dad loves her......it will make all the difference in the world. Take it from someone who never got that herself, but at least has been able to sit and watch it happen right in front of her. Good Luck:)

You do realize that you married someones little girl. That is just a part of life and a wonderful part. Why would you worry about something that is as incredible as love? Now do not make yourself sick over this or you might end up missing the time you do have with your daughter. Enjoy being a parent. Love your child so she will grow to be a loving adult, wife and parent herself one day.
May God Bless you.

My husband felt the same way. The way he put it was that with our son he only had to worry about helping him become a good man. With our daughter he had to worry about if all the other fathers did their job.
He has also realized that he will be a big influence on who she marries someday (she's 3) as long as he sets the example of how men are suppose to treat women by respecting me and her then he knows that the chances of her ever even dating a jerk are slim. Why would she ever want to be with someone who didn't treat her as well as her father treated her mother afterall.
Your daughter is going to grow up...you have to be the example of the kind of man you want her to have in her life. Treat her and her mother well and you won't have to worry.
Good luck

I was an only child for 12 years and I know it is hard when your baby grows up but it happens!
I am 16 and I am going to college in 1 1/2 years and my parents are stressing but the extra stress won't do anything. Enjoy every moment to the fullest with her!

unfortunately that life your little girl is going to grow up and get married someday and have a family of her own. But you do have time she's only 2. Have fun with her and enjoy her childhood.

Just remember if you raise her right she won't be so rebellious. Don't shelter her from to much. If she turns out to be like I was everything you tell her not to do she'll do. And as for her getting married, you would rather her be happy with someone in the future right? You don't want her to be alone for her whole life do you. When she does get married just be happy for her. Nothing should matter if she's happy.

Pace yourself. She's only 2 and if you teach her right from wrong and help her to become a responsible person you'll have nothing to worry about. It's going to be tough because once she becomes a teen it's going to feel like she hates you but in the end every girl loves her dad.

Man, oh, man! I have 12 year old twin daughters and a 7 year old daughter, and all I can say is that your nagging feeling will never totally go away. No one is good enough for (our) little girls, and they ARE so precious-- we want to protect them forever. Instead of fighting time...always a losing battle...I resolved to make it my life's goal to instill in my daughters a sense of who they are, so they won't have to rely on a man for their self esteem, and I decided then to be a living example of what a husband and father should be- so they will know how a real man treats a woman; with respect and dignity. I make mistakes, and sometimes that feeling creeps back in, but when it does...I remind myself of MY responsibilities to my princesses. P.S.-- They always stay daddy's girls if you do your part!
