Daughter told me I was her favorite parent
Okay so she's 6 and I know it changes day to day depending on who said no to candy last, but this morning she told me I was her favorite and that I was the best daddy. My wife heard it and just laughed. I'm still riding this high. I'm absolutely going to crash back to reality tomorrow when I have to be the bad guy, but I'm savoring this one.
She might be keeping score on the candy rule but that just means she trusts you to be the stable one. That's actually a bigger compliment than you might realize. Hold onto this one.
