But that said, i've always thought the toll of having the baby position usurped at such a young age probably did some damage that we couldn't help because it was at a preverbal stage for him. at least you can talk with your daughter and her emotional development is advanced enough to understand she hasn't been replaced. I think this is a superior approach you've taken. good luck. and i second the thing with being a daddy's girl starting back in your 20s. That totally happened to me too and my dad and i barely spoke when i was a teenager.rubigimlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031970778205823489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11932117.post-69741312219213820652009-03-03T21:21:00.000-06:002009-03-03T21:21:00.000-06:00Yep - my dad has always been my hero.Actually her ...Yep - my dad has always been my hero.<BR/><BR/>Actually her relationship with her mom will give you more grief that her relationship with you.

In my experience, little girls don't turn on daddy as quickly as they do mom... it's the old mother-daughter thing where they have to cut the apron strings. <BR/><BR/>And if she briefly puts some space between herself and you as a teen, she'll turn back into "daddy's little girl" in her twenties sometime.<BR/><BR/>I often hear my daughter say, "I love my daddy" with great feeling. She's going to be 40 this month.Donna.
