Even if Marshall only has one biological daughter, for having other two daughters, and having Lily in 8 Mile, everyone agrees this man can only make girls, right? /hj
He just has Girl Dad vibes. Can I explain it in a way that is rational ? No. But the vibes are there.
And there is something so pure and sweet about the idea of him, the lyrical genius who can spit nasty bars, being the quintessential girl dad. I’m sure he’d be a great dad to a baby boy. But just imagine him embracing all things girly and princess-y for the sake of his baby girl. Choosing extra pretty outfits. Trying to master some hairdressing skills as she grows up. Learning much more than anyone needs to about Disney princesses, Barbies and whatnot. Being driven to a state of insanity because he’s got Disney song lyrics stuck in his mind. Attending an embarrassing amount of teddy bear tea parties…?
I know boys like that stuff too. But I’m sorry, the « Girl Dad » thing just adds an extra layer of softness, witch a touch of insane devotion. I’m sure he’d be a great father to a son, but you know a daughter would have him wrapped around her finger in a special way. And it’s even worse if she reminds him of her mama.
