Inspiration & Paradox 3: Love-hate relationship

I am often amazed by how my girl relates to her daddy. I like to exaggerate by calling it a paradoxical love-hate relationship. She adores her daddy and treats him like her idol. She looks up to him in all aspects, loves to imitate and quotes him for even the most trivial thing and would think of ways to please him and obtain his approval. Yet, at the same time she is also extremely fearful of him. She is very afraid of his sternness towards her and hates it when he asserts his authority and metes out the punishment to discipline her.
