    I sang “I Loved Her First” to my daughter a few years ago at her wedding. My heart was so full. My son-in-law bristled a little at the message of the song. A few years later, his daughter was born and he said to me, “Dad, I get it now.” Warmed my heart. Nothing like a dad’s love for his daughters.

      sad to say but over 80% of black children are born to single mothers. A FAMILY MEANS EVERYTHING !!! I am White,was deserted by my father at 7 years old. I am now 73 and it has bothered me my whole life. But due to a fantastic mother I had a wonderful successful life.But sad to say my son's father deserted me and my son was born to a single mother.
      but due to a loving grandmother and a mom who lived with me 'we' raised a sucessful son,grandson. I am positive it has bothered my son his entire life also. I was too troubled to bring it up with my mom. THANK GOD FOR STRONG WOMEN THAT HELP THEIR DAUGHTERS GET THRU IT.

    longer than my dad. My dad replied, "She will ALWAYS be mine!" Even as he was dying of Alzheimers, and he couldn't remember my name, his face lit up every time I saw him. Enjoy your Daddys as long as you can. He's gone now and I feel like I lost the only person on this earth who loved me, no matter what, unconditionally.

      You don't belong to your husband or father like a possession. Marriage supposed to be a partnership. I hope he treats you well. The bond of parent and child isn't supposed to be that a parent treats a girl child like property or a possession. I hope that wasn't the case.

    I’ve been married for 43 years. My dad walked me down the aisle crying the entire time. He was the best dad I could have asked. My strongest support, always so proud of my accomplishments. He’s been gone almost 8 years, I miss him yet I know he is with me. Thank you Dad, for being a hard working, kind, gentle man who loved the simple things in life. I was blessed with the best❤️

      I guess, I just never understsnd when you people say or write stuff like that. So I ask people to explain what they mean, because it isn't realistic ir logical that dad can set standards without the children's mother. That's strange and weird to me.
      See, in my home, as we grew up, we are blessed to have a mother and father who both taught us, boys and girls.
      My father snd mother both made rules.
      I don't understand why you people say this stuff. In our house, father and mother set our rules and standards. Mom taught my sisters about female stuff and how boys act and them mom told my sisters how to act and what not to allow from boys. Dad told us boys just a few words.
      But as far as dadd setting standards for a daughter, I think this is a fallacy and man made belief. But it's not true and not possible.
      Dads can only be decent to their wives. Then both sons and daughters watch parents' behavior. But no, in regular homes, my understanding is dad csn be controlling the rules by himself. My dad is not mean, harsh, or abusive.
