[quote=Anonymous]I think it's good that you're taking her; don't outsource those milestones to someone else just because you're a dad. I don't necessarily think it'd be a bad idea to find a female family friend/friend's mom or whatever to be a general female presence in her life, but you're perfectly capable of taking care of girl issues as needed. See them as DD issues rather than girl issues - and no one knows your DD better than you. I'd take her to a store that's quieter and not super trendy. There's always a ton of teenage girls at VS and aerie and it can make for an overwhelming experience, especially for a younger tween shopping with a nervous dad. For a first shopping experience, I agree to try a department store like Nordstrom where the sales people are helpful (they also are at VS, but the process is more intimidating IMO) and your DD can browse without feeling self-conscious.[/quote]
