Pick a weekend once a month to hang out with her. trust me its worth it even if you see her all the time you have to spend time with her 
I do the same with my girlfriend. then I can do whatever I want all the other days. its about quality time |
This is some of the BEST advice I have ever seen from a Dad. Seriously, I have 2 girls, ages 21 and 7 and they love the time their dad takes with them. Of couse we both work from home so my kids have always gotten a lot of our time. We gave up working outside the house MANY years ago so that we could raise our kids ourselves.
I have NO good memories of my dad at all, and I am not going into gory details, but I know my oldest daughter and I have talked alot, she bonded with her dad on a level that is rare, and it ALL had to do with taking the time. Girls are very strange little creatures, they don't necessarily want their dads to go shopping with them or anything like that, that's for their friends and mom, but they seem to just want to know their dad cares enough to take the time..... doesn't matter what they do, they just want to know they have their full attention.
NICE post, Roger, so many Dads could take lessons from you.
