Example of a proper proud dad...

    I have my little one from tomorrow until Tues eve. I am so looking forward to it. She lights up my life. I also enhance her life via our treasured contact, I make the most of it due to previous answers of posters on here, thanks for that guys.

    She is beautiful and happy go lucky in her way because of the lack of conflict despite the separation of her parents. I am a bloody good father and parent, my daughter has benefited by this and I have as well.

    I am one of the lucky ones as a separated dad, so is she as a child in all this. It just works for the betterment of her and me. She makes my day with little hugs and random spontaneous kisses.

    "Best girl in the world" 'I tells her' as much as she tells me I am the "best dad in the world". I love her to bits I really do. *Wipes tear from eye as I write this.

    I am so looking forward to our time together little miss. See you soon.

    Thanks all. My daughter phoned me the other night she told me how she had a lovely time. I see other threads of hardships and issues in the meantime and only wish that such folks dads and moms in this case could have the same.

    I don't ever question the potential angry moms motives because I think I partially know how hard it is to have a child as a part time parent.

    I handed her back to her Mom and fell on the couch with blessed uninterupted sleep. That was actually amazing, but I awoke at times with imaginary cries of 'DAD'. Once I realised that my little one was not there I treasured the oncoming soft pillow with a sigh.

    Really, tears to my eyes.
    Enjoy her, little pet!

    She is beautiful, I stand by her as her dad. My ex told me in a text after the call that my little girl said to tell me... 'My Dad is lucky because I love him'. Only a child could make a statement like that;)

    She is so right:)

    sorry to rain on your parade, but when I read the title of the post I though you were talking about someone you know. Calling yourself a 'proper proud' dad screams of a big head...I'm not saying you necessarily have one ;)

    also it's lovely that you have such a good relationship with your daughter now when she's small, I just hope you will keep it up when she gets older. That you'll recognise when your little girls is growing up and treat her with love and respect she deserves and not in the same way as a tiny toddler.

    good luck :-)

    Just to clarify for you: I am 'proper proud' purely in the sense of being proud of my daughter. To put proper in a sentence: I am 'proper proud' of her.

    She does test me though. she has the same argumentative personality I have. If she does not get a satisfying answer then she will argue her point in her own way none stop untill she is satisfied. She will be a nightmare as a teen I know.

    I will try to keep up as I age;)
