Any other Daddy's take their daughters on dates?

I most certainly do! Sometimes I'll take my girls to get pedicures and manicures or we'll just do movies and popcorn. It really is a blast and I love it as much as they do!0

All my kiddos get special 'dates' where it's just the 2 of us and they get to pick what we do! I even do it with my step children also. I think, especially with more than one kid in the house, that they really need that individualized attention every now and then. I think its a great and cute idea!

My daughters -- 30, 28 and 18 -- are all grown up now, but when they were young and still at home, I made a point to take each one out every month. Just the two of us. We still did the family things and Mommy and I still had our date nights, but I really loved those dates with my girls.
I still get to take them out, but much less frequently now that they've all moved out. And they seem to have their "specialties" now. The oldest and I usually take in Concerts together. The middle girl and I like amusement parks. The youngest is my adventurer and sushi partner.0 -
My favorite part:
When we get to where we are going we sit down and I ask her why we are here, she answers because you love me:) I say that's right! Until you find a man that treats you better than me..........it will always be you and me.
It will teach her to value herself and to not settle!!!0 -
I do that with all my kids. I take my daughter out, and don't really accomplish much in depth, but shes 2... I take out 1 kid a month with just me. Let them choose the place to have fun (be it movie, lazer tag, chuck-e-cheese) and I choose the place to eat. When we eat, I usually have a few things to talk to them about. My last one with my 8 year old I let him know Santa, the easter bunny, and the tooth fairy weren't real. These times have been some of the best in my life. With 3 kids, its good to have them have a time away from everyone. 0

Our local Rec commission host a Daddy Daughter dance that is held the afternoon following our High School Prom. It's for girls and their fathers K-5th grade. My daughter and I get all dressed up and go on our date and dance the afternoon away. Sadly, I only have three years of this to go.0

My daughter is 7 years old and I like to take her on dates whenever we can find the time. It's not nearly often enough but we both love it whenever we do:) Sometimes she picks the place and what we will do and sometimes I do. Sometimes we both get a little dressed up but I always open all the doors for her, hold her hand, and treat her like a queen:) When we get to where we are going we sit down and I ask her why we are here, she answers because you love me:) I say that's right! Until you find a man that treats you better than me..........it will always be you and me.
Are there any other Daddy's that do similar things with their daughters? What about Mommy's taking their boys on dates? I would love to here any new ideas that I can use with my kids.
I think I
you even more than I already did!!! :flowerforyou: 0 -

She won't let me anymore, she is 17 and I'm scaring off the prospects. lol Sad though she will go off to college next year and I will have withdrawls and be depressed. Bad when you are a full time single dad and the little one you still see taking her first steps is all grown up now. Spend all the time you can with em it runs out too quick.
Just another Dad

We don't go out, but on the weekends we have daddy-daughter movie night where we watch horrible B movies and laugh.
Rubber was her favorite. It's about a tire that blows people up.
Thankskilling was not as good a choice.. the first scene in the movie is an exposed breast of a nun. I was scrambling for the remote while she laughed her A off...
ahaha I saw Thankskilling too! It's a D movie trying to be a B movie lol I saw it on Netflix0 -

Dude you seriously rock. This was just fantastic. I ain't no girl and I don't plan on having kids but if more dads were like you, I feel that more girls will grow up with self-esteem and will know what to expect from men rather than going out with these wannabe thugs and stuff.
Way to go man! Fatherhood: You are doing it right!
^^What he said... You are the type of father I wish my little girl had. Her and I do movie nights, though. She picks the movie and what we eat for dinner (usually pizza) and we relax and spend time together away from the chaos of our normal busy schedule.0 -
my dad is my best friend. he still treats me like a princess at 20 as he did when i was 2. he used to always let me paint his nails and do his hair too. i was truly blessed when i was born (preme) he whisked me outa an incubator, counting my fingers and toes, and shouting "i have my girl! i have my girl!" untill the nurses caught him and made them put me back.
but after having two boys i wouldnt blame him. thank you to all the wonderful dads out there. 0 -
My husband takes our daughters on dates. He will take each one separately. They get to pick the restaurant. He also takes our daughters hunting. Our son is only four and just went squirrel hunting with the three of them for the first time. The biggest squirrel in the woods was definitely him. They didn't see much, cut they had a really good time. And I, enjoyed the quiet. I do plan on taking my son on dates when he gets a little older. I plan on teaching him to be a gentleman.0

OMG. Such sweetness. :flowerforyou:0 -
all fathers should be like you!! congrats for being a super dad!
i just have 1 question tho.....you must have only 1 child right? what happens when there is 2 or 3 daughters? or a son or 2 in the family? would you do this for each one?0 -
Absolutely. I am mainly taking both my kids when I do it and those times are mainly while their mom is sleeping on the weekend when she worked the night before. I do get to do a football game or golf with my 12 yr old son sometimes or take my 6 yr old daughter on a date every now and then and I love that. I do all those things you were saying, treating her like a princess or a little lady. There is so much drama in relationships now when kids grow up, I want both my kids to see examples of what is acceptable and what is not for treating others and ways you should accept being treated. I am hoping when they get old enough, he will know how to treat a woman the right way and she will remember how daddy treats her and mommy and won't settle for less than that. I just took them both to see Big Time Rush in concert the other night and we all had a blast. I love to do anything I can with my kids to see them happy. Great question.0

I love the idea of Daddy/Daughter and Mommy/Son dates!
We used to have Mommy/Son time when my husband was working on his MBA (usually went skiing together at a local hill). I honestly thought that my son had outgrown them--he is 12 now and does way more with my husband since they're both guys and have the whole love of sports thing in common, plus he's getting to be a moody pre-teen. However, my husband was recently out of town on a business trip and my son and I went shopping at the mall and he even held my hand (he initiated it) while we were walking in the parking lot. He's so sweet because he makes sure to hold doors open for me (and others!) and I know that we've done a decent job of raising him.
I secretly treasure these moments because he is growing up so fast.0 -
My husband and I take our kids (a boy and a girl) out on dates often. My thought is he and I set the tone for how they will expect to be treated in their relationships. :flowerforyou:0

That is the sweetest thing I've ever heard.

you are the type of father I wish my daughter did have...
keep it up...you're doing a fantastic job of raising a strong little girl.0 -
This is one of the BEST things a dad can do for his daughter... my dad took me out alot growing up and it showed me to have high expectations for a man. He would open my door, pull out my chair, let me pick the place... seriously love him for that!
Helped with NOT dating losers... if a man doesnt open my door or pull out my chair my pops wouldnt like him anyways!0 -
Was me and my mom when I was a kid, would go to theatre shows, musicals etc. Fond memories.0

I take my 9 year old daughter on dates. Sometimes she will set up a "Spa Day" appointment at home and I get the whole treatment...manicure, pedicure, facial, make-up. Then she has to parade me around to everyone! It makes her so happy. There isn't much I wouldn't do to make her happy! God Bless all if you that make time to play with your kids!0

I take my daughter's to hockey games, we went to the waterpark and I took them school clothes shopping at the mall in the same weekend.... We go to the movies every once in a while as well...0

You sound like a great Daddy We really need to do that more often with ours, we get trapped in the Dad/Son, Mom/Daughter routine. 0
