Lots of women proudly identify as “boy moms,” but less often do you hear about a “girl dad.”
Girl dads are the fathers of daughters ― the ones who are pros at doing hair in front of the mirror, or taking the extra seat at stuffed animal tea parties. Of course there’s no one way to be a girl (or a dad); a girl dad may spend just as much time talking dinosaurs as princesses.
But no matter what, there’s just something special about the bond between a father and a daughter. We asked 13 dads of girls to tell us the best part about parenting daughters.
I’m a stay-at-home dad, so I spend nearly every waking moment with my daughter and I get to see every facet of her personality.
I have never been a stereotypical “guy.” I used to play with stuffed animals and a Little Tikes kitchen instead of cars and I’ve always preferred the arts over sports. It’s nice that I am able to bond with someone who is as emotional and empathetic as I am and to nurture her toward expressing her feelings and passions rather than hiding them away.
We live in a society that tells both boys and girls that they can be whoever and whatever they want, but I think that we mean different things when we address the different sexes. We encourage boys to be the heroes and we expect girls to be the princesses who need to be rescued.
One of my favorite things about having a daughter is my responsibility to teach her that she can do anything as good as—or probably better than—a boy. She’s still a bit too young to know what she really wants to do with her life, but I hope that I can inspire her to chase her dream with hard work and determination.
― Austin, father to a 3-1/2-year-old daughter
Just listening to their ideas for the future. It is amazing how much you can learn from your daughters if you are just willing to sit and listen. They will tell you how they are going to build a rocket ship to go live in outer space, they will tell you how they will make sure people know girls can like blue and boys can like pink, and they will tell you that they love to snuggle when they are feeling sad.
We also like moving “girls” and boys” signs in stores that try to sell toys specifically to boys or to girls because that’s just nonsense.
― Mike, father to a 4-year-old and a 6-year-old daughter, Puzzling Posts
― Sam , father to 23-month-old twin girls
The best part of being a dad to girls is smashing stereotypes about what it means to be a man. I want them to see me doing their hair, cooking, cleaning, giving them baths, attending doctor appointments, and reading to them so they’ll always know these aren’t “mom tasks.” I also want to teach them that they can do whatever a man can do. Am I a feminist dad? Damn right I am, and I’m proud of it.
― Doyin, father of a 5-year-old and a 3-year-old daughter, Daddy Doin’ Work and author of “ I WONDER ”
My daughters have… taught me to be soft and not so serious all the time. Taught me about tea parties, word games and that I have a knack for silly character voices. Taught me to love from my toes and with all that I have. Taught me how to trust first and have faith in people. Taught me that little girls can be as gross, dirty and tough as any boy has ever been, likely worse. Taught me that holding hands in the car can mean more than anything I could ever think to say. Taught me to be kind even when I don’t want to be. Taught me that even though the world isn’t fair, that I should try to be. Taught me to love those different than me, without seeing the different. Taught me that cuddles before bedtime is mandatory to get good sleep. Cookies and a glass of milk help a lot too. Taught me that I am capable of more than I thought I was. Taught me how to be a man, a father, and a better husband.
― Timothy, father to a 9-year-old and a 20-year-old daughter
Seeing her develop independence and helping her find and shape that. I’ll admit I was far more interested in raising a strong girl than a boy, though in retrospect it wouldn’t really matter. But it’s what I love most. I feel an immense urge to protect her, but I’m happiest when I’m helping her protect herself.
― Chris Rugen , father of an 8-year-old daughter
The best part is not feeling any limitations. Want to have a tea party? Awesome. Reenact Wrestlemania V? Oooooh yaaaaa! Dancing to T-Swift or teaching them about football, it’s all on the table and so much fun. I doubt most dads with sons feel the same freedom, it’s too bad.
―Spencer, father to a 4-year-old and a 6-year-old daughter, Fight For Your Right To Potty
Gosh, where to start. Just one part? Big picture, the chance to raise and put into the world a pair of strong, bright, thoughtful, curious, creative and confident women. Selfishly, being the dad of daughters has made me an infinitely better man. My eyes have been opened to the injustices and inequalities in the world, and I want nothing more than to be a part of the solution to those problems.
― Jeff, father to a 9-year-old and a 12-year-old daughter, Out With The Kids
The thing I love most about being a dad to my soon to be 2-year-old girl is that we can be 100% silly together. We both make each other laugh. This either means that she’s extremely mature or I’m extremely immature. I’ll accept either.
― La Guardia, father to a 2-year-old girl (and one on the way!), LaGuardiaCross.com
Eating dinner on a dining room table that’s 95% filled with at least a dozen ongoing craft and science projects. Also, hugs. Lots of great hugs.
― Jeff , father to an 8-year-old and 11-year-old daughter
I was never a “man’s man” by any means, whatever that means, but my three daughters have taught me that sensitivity and compassion are qualities to be desired. I’ve never met anybody as thoughtful and caring as my girls, and in a hyper-masculine society, those traits aren’t always valued. They’ve got me wrapped around their little fingers, and I love every minute of it.
― Stephen , father to 4-year-old, 6-year-old and 9-month old daughter
Having to reevaluate the ways, subtle and overt, that society, including myself, push girls and women into different boxes. It’s one thing to stand up and declare yourself a feminist, it’s another to be in a position to see the effects of a society that pushes women away in ways it doesn’t do to men because you have a person in your life you want to give unlimited opportunity to.
My daughter is amazing. She loves dresses and she loves climbing things and getting dirty. She loves science and she loves pink. And I want her to be able to continue to love those things without fear she’s doing it wrong. So that’s both amazing, being there to help her fight to be herself and at times, disheartening. But, I can’t imagine it any other way.
― Devon, father to a 4-year-old daughter
It’s hard to identify one specific “best part” of being a dad to a daughter ― both because there are multiple fulfilling aspects and because many of those same rewards apply also to being the father of a son! Our bond isn’t stronger than that with my son (or than my wife’s relationship with each of our children). But there is a distinctive responsibility and pleasure that comes with being a dad who tries ― however fitfully ― to model for our daughter (and son) how to be a strong yet sensitive, upstanding yet good-humored member of our family and community. Whether the issue is peer pressure or health/body image, kindness or hard work, my hope is that our daughter will develop a sturdy balance that will allow her to thrive as a good person, healthy and happy.
― Josiah , father to an 11-year-old daughter

From the background or the way that they're standing, these photos are really out of the ordinary.
The bond between a dad and his daughter is always considered to be a super special thing. Dads are sometimes the ones who agree to a junk food dinner (maybe even ice cream or cake instead of an actual meal), who want to buy that extra gift at Christmas, who want to be seen as the goofy, silly, fun parent.
But then we see pictures of fathers and their daughters and the snapshots don't seem like something that should have been taken at all. This is always really confusing, and today we're taking a look at these types of images.
Here are 17 father-daughter pics that are not so normal. From the background or the way that they're standing, these photos are really out of the ordinary.
It definitely seems like a girl of this age should barely know what a tattoo is, let alone actually be drawing one on her dad's leg.
This is a really strange picture and it's not something that is ordinary or common, that's for sure. (Also, why would you want your entire leg to be covered in tattoos?!)
It feels like since the dawn of time, fathers have been saying that they totally forbid their daughters to date. Call it annoying, call it archaic and old-fashioned, but it's still something that dads tend to joke about.
This father took things to another, creepy, and weird level with the t-shirt that he had his daughter wear.
What's so frustrating about this particular father/daughter photo is that it could have been so adorable. If this dad had just posted normally with his three girls, we would have been saying "awww" instead of "what's going on?!"
We don't even want to know whose idea it was to have this little girl's feet in her dad's face. It's so weird.
Again, this father/daughter photo could have been normal and even cute if the two daughters had just stood next to their dad and smiled at the camera.
Instead, we got this odd image of a dad looking totally freaked out and/or smirking (we can't really tell which) and his daughters each kissing his cheek. No thanks.
If we're going to take a photo of someone looking into another person's eyes, they really have to be in a relationship or otherwise romantic situation. They really can't be father and daughter. Because, well, that would just be strange.
And this photo is definitely on the strange side. The mauve background and tigers make things even worse.
This photo totally brings new meaning to the popular saying "old enough to be her father."
We're not sure that's what they were going for... but if you don't want to look awkward and odd in a photo, why would you pose like this? We can definitely see the resemblance in their faces, and this father/daughter photo would have been perfectly normal if they had just been standing side by side.
IRL, high school dances are rites of passage. On TV shows, they're springboards for wild amounts of drama.
And in this particular father/daughter photo that isn't normal at all, a dance is apparently the opportunity for some creepy vibes. And this image has a lot of creepy vibes, including the straps on the back of her fancy dress.
Many people have an issue with purity balls, which feature dads and daughters going to a dance that basically celebrates them saving themselves for their husband.
There are lots of pictures like this online and they mostly feature the parent and their child with their eyes closed. This one doesn't, but it totally looks like she's marrying her father. Just no.
Angelina Jolie and her father, Jon Voight, have had a turbulent relationship over the years. But they certainly seem to be all lovey-dovey in this photo of them.
The way that she's staring into his eyes and the fact that his hand is on her head like that? Let's just say it's not normal... and we're not sure why this is happening at all.
Here's another picture from a father and his daughter before attending a purity ball, and like the other one, it's got major bride/groom vibes.
And that's just not a feeling that you want to get when you see a photo of a parent and their daughter. It's just not. What's with the field and the horses in the background?!
Ashlee Simpson is holding onto her dad, Joe, so tightly that it's just not your typical or normal father/daughter snapshot.
She's got her lips pursed, he's got a weird expression on his face, and what's even worse is that it looks like he's literally wearing a blanket instead of an actual shirt.
There's a certain way that dads and daughters should pose for photos. It's totally fine if the dad puts his arm around his daughter. No big deal. That's expected.
But this dad is holding onto his daughter so tightly that she doesn't look super comfortable. And as a result, we're feeling pretty uncomfortable, too.
It's not super normal to snap a photo of a dad holding his toddler daughter who is literally yanking on his hair. And he looks like he's having the worst time ever.
The little girl is super cute, though, so we bet that this would have made an adorable picture if it had just been more ordinary.
Dads and crop tops don't mix, and we have perfect proof of that with this Snapchat. What's worse, the fact that this father totally took his daughter's t-shirt and actually put it on himself, or the fact that he was wearing a t-shirt that said "trophy husband?"
On the one hand, it's kind of adorable that a dad and his daughter would choose to wear similar Halloween costumes. On the other hand, perhaps that's not the greatest idea ever because then you get a result like this one.
If the daughter was wearing something more age-appropriate, we'd be a lot happier. As it stands, though, she looks way too old, mature, and grown-up.
And then there are father/daughter photos that are so creepy because they're staring at the camera with the strangest expression ever. This is a good example of that kind of situation.
They honestly look like something out of a horror film, and we're just not here for it. We're not here for it at all.
We get that many dads think that their daughter is their little princess. And that can be cute... even if you're not big on the whole princess thing.
But literally saying that you're the king and you and your little girl have to wear crowns? We're going to pass on that. This is another father/daughter pic that just isn't normal.
