Romeo (can I call you that - not comfy with the 'stupid' bit!!) I KNOW it's what Mum's traditionally do with kids BUT my sister and I used to do these things with our Dad (who was in the Royal Navy and only home every month or so) when we were growing up.
My sister and I still laugh about the toffee making my Dad did that went wrong or how he taught himself to sew so that he could make us matching trousers or how he used to send us photo's of his travels abroad and we still have them in our Memories Boxes (up in Mum & Dad's attic).
See none of these memories would be there for the sharing had my Dad not taken himself completely out of his comfort zone when we were kids. That is why, I have to say, as a 43 year old Mum of 2 awesome kids I and my sister are still close to my Dad, with a special bond. He gave us the most impressive start to our lives - not with money but with a joie de vive and a 'not sure how to do that but let's have a go anyway' attitude.
Your time with your daughter will pay off - in the future and immediately - how exciting is that??
