A daddy takes his son fishing. A father makes his son untangle his own line.

A good daddy will also take his daughter along and a good father will let her load her own antelope on the truck.

EEO starts at home. Always pleases me to hear of other fathers who value their daughters and teach them stuff.

No, that would be a sperm donor.

There's two portions of what we should be to our children (IMO):

Fathering: teaching values and being a role model; discipline and direction are important parts of this.

Being a Daddy: giving love and emotional support; teaching the child that they are important and persons of worth; especially with girls, being a daddy is important to show them proper affection - girls who don't have a healthy relationship with their fathers many times end up in VERY unhappy relationships; boys need the closeness of the father-son relationship to learn how to be a productive man, husband, and father, instead of a sniveling man-child.

Thats a very good way to put it, I think you nailed it.

I think I did pretty well with my boy. His first child is a girl. He bought her a Pink Cricket .22LR when she was a week old. Here she is on her potty trainer reading the Midway Sales Ammo catalogue.

Very nice...I want to get my daughters one each to shoot when they come to my place, but I'm pretty certain my ex-wife would use that in court to have my visitation reduced, or eliminated entirely.
