Daddy's girl

Alternatively
Of course you may be one of the lucky ones. Perhaps you had one of the good dads, the sort who encouraged you to do the things that interested you rather than pushing you in a direction that suited him. Perhaps he cheered your efforts and told you it didn't matter if you didn't get it quite right and better luck next time. And he loved your mother and didn't favour your brothers. As for his job, well he enjoyed it but he didn't think it was the most important thing in the world. And there were only a few household rules, which made sense. He explained why they were necessary and understood that you needed to flout them from time to time.

Well, if that's your old man, then you're a very lucky woman and, this Father's Day, you should avoid the special gifts section and give him something better than amusing cufflinks shaped like golf balls or ties adorned with cricket bats. Give him a little of your time.
