No my dad is hard on my and expects a lot out of me. My little sister is a different story though. They are very close, have the same hobbies (horse back riding / equestrians) and are very very alike personality / character wise. She's his youngest too, we have two older half brothers in their 30s from my dad's first marriage and then my sister and I with our mom. So she's his baby and youngest kid.
What it means is basically she can nearly do no wrong and he has taken a step back from kind of being a parent and disciplining her when she talks back or doesn't do a chore etc. He bought her a freaking horse and all the $1000s it goes into it with the equipment, training, boarding, vet stuff etc. Mind you he's paying for my schooling but he will be paying for hers too and eventually, likely part of her vet schooling. My hobby in hs was soccer and reading and he made me go to the library (which is reasonable). On one hand I think it's really nice that my dad is so supportive of my sister's passion, and that's what it is. It's not like she wanted a pony one day, got one, and never spent time with it, she lives and breaths this stuff. She's at the barn for hours every single day training and her dream is to go to the olympics and has been doing this for 8 years now. He also takes her side in arguments my sister and I have without any idea what we're fighting about and why. He let's her talk disrespectfully to our mom and asks very little of her chore wise. She can do no wrong in his eyes.
My dad would do almost anything for me as well, but I can't get away with as many things as my sister can and does. For example, no one could go with me to get a second piercing in my ear so I got my dad to go to Claire's for support even though he disagrees with it. My mom was never into fashion and hates shopping so when I started to get into it at 13 or 14 my dad was the one who took me for a long time and helped me pick out stuff. He was good at it and I'll always appreciate that
I am 22 years old and I’ve had my father wrapped around my finger since I can remember although I don’t like to call it that. I’d rather call it…. having one of the most prized privileges in the world: a father’s love. Seemingly, I am one of the few people on this planet who have been able to experience a father’s unconditional love, support, and adoration for his child. That’s the root of “having a father wrapped around your finger”: his genuine, pure, selfless, undying love for a human being that he created from his own flesh, blood, and probably complex, hurtful journey. The rest is just charm, knowing what makes you father feel warm and tingly inside, RESPECT, compassion, helping him out, taking care of him in a nurturing, daughterly way. The whole concept of a woman in such a crazy, cold, cruel world is absolutely beautiful: as a mother, as a wife, AND as a daughter. You just have to have a heightened sense of what that means and understand how to tweek that to the exact parent’s personality. Their desire to take care of you and nurture you will never fade away. Or at least according to my experience.
He's not "wrapped around my little finger". You make it sound like I'm manipulating the guy. =/
I love my dad, he loves me back.
I respect him, obey him and show him affection.
He is providing for me financially to one day become and independent adult, while also showing me additional affection with presents, his attention and affection. My dad is more tender and forgiving with me than my brothers I know that. He is also more eager to please.
Why?
Because it's how males in general see women. As creatures they work for and creatures they are ready to die for. It's simple male nature which is so easily activated by showing that man respect and gentleness.
Daughters do this with their fathers easily because fathers have a right to that respect by default, and always see their daughters as tender, fragile beings for the sole fact they raised them.
This "wrapping around finger" deal can be achieved with any man really, but many women are too prideful and stubborn to get it.
Yes I do have my dad wrapped around my finger. Literally, one time my brother drank the rest of his water that my dad left on the counter, (rookie mistake), and my mom told him that and he was like, "WHAT? Come here boy!" Then my mom said it was me, and my dad was like, "Oh. Ok." But it's not just girls and their dad's, it's all kids and parents of the opposite sex. I cannot get ANYTHING past my mom, especially when it comes to boys, because as much as I hate to admit it, my mom is right when she says she was me 30 years ago. But my dad wasn't. My dad has no idea what goes through my mind on a daily basis. But he knows what goes through my brother's mind. It's the same situation with him. My dad knows my brother in and out because he was him 30 years ago, yet my brother has our mom wrapped around his finger, because she doesn't know how he thinks. Do you get what I'm saying?
Dating chicks like this can be very painful. They expect a lot, and give very little. Guys with low self-esteem are the perfect match for them.
yeah, my sister got a 2014 car outbof my dad when she was a junior. I got a 1995 camry 3 moths before her.

Yeah pretty much. I'm his first born. My mom said he was so happy, when she told him she was pregnant, that he wished I were twins lol. I've always looked up to my dad and he's my rock. He's the type of man that takes extreme pride in his children And is very protective. My brother and I are his heart and soul. He actually called me today. I said, "what's up Daddy?" He said, "oh nothing, I just wanted to check up on my little girl, see if you needed anything." I'm 28 years old lol.
I don't know why it's so common, I wish it were more common actually. There are a lot of girls and women with "daddy issues" and I feel bad for them. My only issue is finding a man that is as great as my dad.
It means that your dad will let you get away with doing a lot more than he would if you were his son, I belive. That, or you can get him to do a lot more things for you than others would be able to. My mom says I have my dad wrapped around my finger sometimes, mostly when I get him to let me do things or give me things by acting like a cute little kid again. I don't do it often though and he doesn't always let me get away with it =P
My dad is most definitely wrapped around my little finger. I was his first born child and his only girl, so it's basically like this special connection he has with me. It's like am unconditional love.
He has taught me to better my life and showed me the value of a strong work ethic (so don't say that means I'm spoiled) he wants nothing but the best for me, but he wants me to want that for myself and to make it happen for myself. I can talk to him about anything and he will never judge me, he might tell me that I'm being an idiot, but I can still bring anything to him (I usually choose to talk to him over my mom). He would drop anything at a moments notice if I need anything.
No, I don't. He loves me a lot, but he's not afraid to say no to me when he needs to. Then again, I don't kiss up to him, if I want something, I just ask. We're very close regardless, especially when I was a little girl. If I need or want something that he doesn't think will cause me any harm, I won't even need to ask him to do it, he just will. Sometimes he can be a bit overprotective of me though, but that's pretty understandable. He's a great dad, I should tell him that more often. :-P But yea, you can have a close relationship with your future daughter without letting her get away with everything, which is pretty much what that phrase means.
Haha, I always joke with my dad that I have him wrapped around by finger. And he does love me. But I'm in no way spoiled by him. My dad is a big old softie anyway, not just to me but basically everyone he cares about and loves. :) But, no means no with him, there's no point in trying to get him to change his mind. He'll just get pissed off when you try.
I am an only child and he wanted a daughter so that's just the way it turned out, I didn't try to be spoiled I mean if he wanted to buy a car for the kid down the street he could have but that would be weird, if he wants to spoil someone I'm basically his only option haha He once told me little boys are demons and he wouldn't have loved me as much if I was a boy and I was like "wow thanks dad :/ you do know the gender part is your doing right? it wouldn't have been boy-me's fault!!"
Well, my father was a Marine for 22 years. a Master Gunnery Sergeant, to be exact. And he's never gotten out of barking orders or not having everything planned or organized. He's also treated me with the utmost respect. I'm spoiled, but not rotten. Because of my amazing father, who is caring and taught me how to live, I am who I am.
While I do have him "wrapped around my little finger," we both still maintain that he's in charge and can tell me what to do. I can negotiate and he can listen. We bargain and compromise.
That's how we work.
No way. I'm more of a Mommy's girl and most definitely not spoiled.
When a girl has her dad wrapped around her finger, it means that she could get him to do anything and buy anything for her. There are some girls that abuse that power, there are others that choose wisely when to get what they want, and then there are the ones that are complete daddy's girls but don't get spoiled.
Lol yes. I'm his favorite. I'm his first born and he got 8 years to spoil me before my siblings came along.
I'm his little girl.
Hmmm. Possibly.
Why? I'm the youngest lol. I've been babied and overprotected into oblivion.
How? I just go 'daaaaaaaad, i think i have a glioblastomaaaa' and then state what i want. It's usually food. I don't ask for crazy things like designer stuff or cars or whatever.
now that i think about it, i use the same technique on my mom. except i tell her that i have a melanoma.
Im not close to my dad at all tbh, a lot of my friends are very close to their dads, I used to be but after i told my dad i was a athiest instead of a christian he cut me off of his life pretty much, and then I fell into a depression and he just made fun of me for it... most people have really good fathers, so its easy to get close to them, :/ personally I would be fine with mine burning in hell.
With my dad, no. He cares for me, but as his only daughter, he aims to not spoil me.
Basically it means the girl is able to get her father to do anything she wants. Generally buy her items she does not need. Mainly because he wants to be her friend and try not to upset her.
Absolutely not. I'm too stubborn to let him spoil and baby and princess me. Will he help me out if I'm ever stuck financially and really, 100% cannot do it on my own? Yes. But he won't do things "just 'cause" because he knows my personality better than that. I'm sure he'd like to, but I won't let him.
Not true. I think fathers insist on being more in our business since we're female and know how many guys are. They feel it's important to be closer to us and spoil their daughters into thinking that they can't do anything without them. Mothers empower their daughters, while fathers spoil or disable their daughters because they feel we're always their little sweet girls.
Ah yes... I'm the baby girl and my dad will do anything for me. My dad was the first man in my life so he set the bar for every man to live up to. Which is why I don't date twice men who don't hold doors for me or make me feel safe. Men are supposed to be strong leaders and protectors. Anything less is not acceptable.
Yup- for me at least, and it means that you can convince him to do things for you. For example I've convinced my dad to go bra shopping with me when my mom didn't want to.
Trust, my dad doesn't want to be wrapped around my middle finger... He'd take it as, "I see you reserved me a spot on the f*ck you finger"... And he'd probably be right lol... but still, I try to remind myself, "Honor thy Mother AND Father"... So No, haha... i know what you really meant, but nahhhh my Daddio is faaaar from being wrapped around my finger... I'm more of a momma's girl. I almost get everything I want outta her... Lol Keyword: ALMOST
The only way I could say that he was, would be when I'm completely pissed off, he's shit scared of me but then again everyone is and I don't blame them whatsoever XD it doesn't happen often, although I do get annoyed...
It just means they're spoiled and have a loving father. I mean, most fathers love their daughters, it's a sense of being protective and it must give them a sense of purpose. Most mothers feel the same about their sons. It's just because it's the opposites sex that you're raising. If you raise them well, you feel it makes up for all the mistakes you made dating the opposite sex. Ha ha!
Yeah he gets me everything i want :) im his only child even if i am older then 18 im his little girl and he's my dad he struggles but he likes to spoil me when i deserve it :) gotta love dad ❤️❤️
