This post is actually The Heart Stuff of FATHERHOOD, because Christy at From Dates to Diapers shared her blogspace with father and blogger Michael Mitchell, who writes at Life To Her Years, a truly wonderful blog where he lists all the ways to be a wonderful father. DO NOT MISS THIS. And then forward it to all the fathers in your life, to let them know how great they are.

50 Rules for Dads of Daughters {by Michael Mitchell}

• 1. Love her mom. Treat her mother with respect, honor, and a big heaping spoonful of public displays of affection. When she grows up, the odds are good she’ll fall in love with and marry someone who treats her much like you treated her mother. Good or bad, that’s just the way it is. I’d prefer good.
• 2. Always be there. Quality time doesn’t happen without quantity time. Hang out together for no other reason than just to be in each other’s presence. Be genuinely interested in the things that interest her. She needs her dad to be involved in her life at every stage. Don’t just sit idly by while she add years to her… add life to her years.
• 3. Save the day. She’ll grow up looking for a hero. It might as well be you. She’ll need you to come through for her over and over again throughout her life. Rise to the occasion. Red cape and blue tights optional.
