On this Father's Day, I thought we'd ask how many of you guys are (or were) close to your dad!
Are you a daddy's girl? How close are you to your dad?

Absolutely. He would do anything and everything for me, I still hug and kiss him on the cheek goodbye, he calls me by the same nickname as when I was little, etc. He doesn't hand over money and spoil me in that sense, which I appreciate because I grew up responsible. Definitely a daddy's girl though

I was never really a daddy's girl. We're close, but not super close!

Yes, I'm a daddy's girl. My mom and I have a difficult relationship sometimes and I was always closer to my dad growing up.

Definitely! I was so happy to spend the day with him today. I hope that M is a daddy's girl too

Without a doubt.. I am definately closer to my Dad ( parents are divorced) I lived with my mum til I was 11 (our relationship is difficult), then moved in with my Dad - best day ever!

No, sadly. I was... but then he had an affair when I was 18 and I've never gotten over that really, even all these years later. It's very sad.

Yep. I do not get along with my mom much at all, and I've been so grateful that my dad and I have gotten closer since they divorced. I've realized just how similar we are, and I know he is really proud of me!

Yes, HUGE daddy's girl. My dad is deceased now, but I was such a big daddy's girl. I hope my daughter has that same bond with her dad.

100% yes! We email all day everyday. If he hasn't heard from me by noon he will call or text me to make sure my day is okay we didn't get close until I went to college and it is sometimes hard for me to remember that but I'm SO grateful for the relationship we have now. Plus he's an unbelievable grandpa to Jake.

We are really close (closer than any of my sisters are)...but I still don't think I was ever close enough to call myself a daddy's girl.

definitely, though I'm also a mama's girl I'm very close to both my parents but in sort of different ways. my dad and I will send short emails or talk on the phone briefly a little more frequently--like he'll call me when he walked home from work and so we have 10 min phone calls multiple times per week. with my mom, I can't talk to her on the phone for less than 20 mins and it's usually more like an hour! so it's less frequent, but she gets jealous when I talk to my dad more often (even though they're still married and I'm sure tell each other everything I say)

Nope. I love my Dad, but I don't think we're super close. I definitely connect with my Mom more.

I was a major daddy's girl when I was a child - my dad was my world. He was an alcoholic, a serial cheater and a generally dreadful husband to my mum but none of that mattered to me. I guess you don't see that stuff when you are a kid? When I was 12, he went out to the pub and never came back. We got a letter a week later telling us he he had left to be with another woman. I never heard from him again until I randomly bumped into him in the street aged 17. I was pretty mad with him during those 5 years but we started spending time together anyway and almost immediately I was smitten again. Somehow, I was able to overlook all his faults (they certainly hadn't gone away) and I adored him to the moon and back.
It all changed a couple of years ago. My dad was at an all time low (with the drink) and had started being quite argumentative every time I saw him. The day I introduced him to my now DH, his behaviour was unforgivable. He said some pretty nasty stuff to both of us and was actually aggressive towards my DH. Something snapped in me - and it was my my turn to walk out of his life. I told him until he got his act together, I wasn't interested any more. It was hurting me too much.
A year after that, he discovered he had cancer. It was actually my step mum who contacted me to tell me. He gave up drinking and smoking and had intensive treatment but it was too late, there was nothing they could do for him. He made it to my wedding and a few months later he passed away.
He was so far from perfect it's almost funny... but I just adored him so much. I that I think that the bond between a girl and her daddy is something pretty special.

I'm my dad's mini-me since the day I was born. Completely daddy's girl!

Oh big time. My dad and I are pretty much the same person in two bodies. I talk to him every day.

Definitely. I'm very close with my parents and speak with one of them every day. He was a mess at our wedding when we danced to "Daddy's Little Girl." Love him
