My daughter is 2, her forgiveness is not my concern.

with that mentality, it will be.

I can only care about what i care about. She can be mad or sad about my actions but ultimately helping her become independant and moral is more important than selfish desire to be her friend. I do want her acceptance and grace, but my hope is those will be side effects of being a reliable father.

Worrying about approval is something weak people do, and weak people make poor parents.

Fwiw, I realized years ago that the only people whose opinion of my parenting actually matter are the adults my descendents will grow up to be.
