She's growing up far too fast.

I'm still small!

[fromheavencame.livejournal.com]

I know that, but you used to be much smaller. You used to cling to my leg when I tried to leave you at daycare. And you used to crawl into bed with me when you were scared. You're still my little girl, but you used to be my really little girl.

You're not allowed to start wearing makeup until you're 15!

[humanmapquest.livejournal.com]

I still want you to play Barbies with me?

Makeup is weird, anyway. My teacher wears too much of it and it looks really bad.

[OOC: Pretend it's Gabriel until I finish with the manips D:]

[fromheavencame.livejournal.com]

Of course I do. We'll play after you take your bath okay?

*inwardly flails with happiness because at least she hasn't started wanting that yet* Mhm yes, it's very weird. And you're the prettiest girl in the world, so you won't ever need it.

[humanmapquest.livejournal.com]

Promise?

I am? Prettier than the girls on TV?

[fromheavencame.livejournal.com]

Cross my heart.

Mhm, of course you are. Prettier than all of them combined, and the only girl for me.

...Can we have ice cream for dinner?

You're the only boy, too, because the boys at my school are gross, especially Max. He tries to kiss me all the time.

[fromheavencame.livejournal.com]

Weeell, I was going to make Mac & Cheese for dinner. Are you sure you don't want that? We can have ice cream after.

I'm very glad for that. Boys are gross. He...he what?!

[humanmapquest.livejournal.com]

Mac & Cheese? I approve, then, because only crazy people don't like Mac & Cheese! *preens*

He tries to kiss me at lunch, but I push him walk away.

It's always hard to see your own daughter grow up, assuming that's who you're referring to.

[fromheavencame.livejournal.com]

Yes it is. It's the hardest thing ever. She's 8. Going to be 9 this year. And the year after that, it's going into double digits.

[thepreventer.livejournal.com]

The best you can do is make the most of your time with her, and protect her to the best of your ability.

[fromheavencame.livejournal.com]

I do. I do everything I can for her, and would. Do you have a daughter?

[thepreventer.livejournal.com]

Yes. She's seventeen, and the most important thing in the world to me.

I know exactly how you feel.

[fromheavencame.livejournal.com]

Seventeen? Oh, I can't even comprehend that my little girl is going to be seventeen one day. Boys start showing up at 17

Glad to know it's normal at least.

[doctormanhatten.livejournal.com]

Time is relative - she is growing at a normal, healthy rate.

[fromheavencame.livejournal.com]

Yes I know that she is, but it doesn't stop me from thinking that it's too fast.

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

My mother used to say the same thing about me.

[fromheavencame.livejournal.com]

I think all parents do though. I'm sure you will too when you have kids.

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure that I will but I imagine all parents do feel that way. How old is she?

[fromheavencame.livejournal.com]

Not sure that you'll feel like your kids are growing up too fast, or not going to have kids? Kids are the best thing that could ever happen to you. She's 8. She'll be 9 this year.

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

Not sure about having kids at this moment. Wow, I bet she's very pretty.

[fromheavencame.livejournal.com]

Prettiest girl on the planet.

Ah well, you're still young. You might change your mind.

My...my ex didn't want a baby either. Heh

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

All dads usually say that.

It's not really that I don't want to...it's complicated.

...I'm sorry, that must have been hard. So you're a single father?

[fromheavencame.livejournal.com]

What can I say, we love our little girls. I'm sure your Dad feels the same way.

It is? Well, just wait until you're done with school and have figured out where you want to go in life. And found a man to love you. Or a girl if you swing that way. Someone to love you at least.

It was. But, I have my little girl now and she's all I need. But yes, I am. It's not exactly easy to date when you have someone to take care of.
