I don't have a Daddy but I will answer as a Mommy. I have a wonderful baby boy who, in "real life," is 13 years younger than me. I enjoy being able to cuddle and nurture him & take his fears away. I like giving him the security of being with his Mommy. I never thought I'd make a good Mommy Domme but I just fell into it naturally.
Just to throw a wrench in here - it seems to me that oftentimes "Daddy Issues" have more to do with the daddy figure than the "baby girl/boy" figure. That's been my observation.
