In a touching display of love and guidance, a father takes his daughter out on monthly outings designed to teach her about respect and manners. This charming initiative, however, is already off the market, as the dad in question is happily married.
The delightful news about this father-daughter duo came to light when Jennifer Larson shared her husband Mike’s plans on social media. She wrote, “My husband has decided to take our little girl out once a month on a ‘date’ where she can dress up, and they go out for cake and ice cream. They enjoyed their first outing tonight!”
Not only does this practice allow Mike to bond with his daughter, but he also uses these dates to instill values. “She’ll understand how she deserves to be treated because her dad exemplifies a high standard,” Jennifer added.
The post quickly gained traction, amassing over 91,000 likes and more than 42,000 shares. “He helped her select a lovely dress, picked out a cute little purse, opened doors for her, and made her feel like a princess. She was glowing with joy when she came home,” she noted.
Of course, little Emma is thrilled about these special outings! Who wouldn’t love spending time with dad while indulging in cake and ice cream? Personally, I would jump at the chance for a “date” with my father if it included a sugar cone overflowing with Moose Tracks ice cream! Emma, likely addressing her adoring fans after her enchanting evening, exclaimed that she “can’t wait for the next one.”
Let’s keep in mind, Emma is just four years old. Anyone who finds fault with daddy-daughter dates needs to reassess their perspective. There’s nothing inappropriate about their time together; it’s simply innocent fun. The term “date” should not be misconstrued by those with overly critical viewpoints.
Ultimately, Mike is imparting lessons about etiquette and demonstrating how a gentleman should behave—setting a benchmark for how others should treat her. While I don’t have a daughter, I am teaching my sons to respect women, embrace equality, and practice good manners. I could easily take my sons out to instill the same values. Perhaps the Larsons would be open to a joint outing?
