"Poor Daddy" is a short story by American writer Robert A. Heinlein.[1]
Unlike his usual output, it is not science fiction, but is intended as a modern story for young girls. It was printed in the magazine Calling All Girls in 1949, and reprinted in the posthumous collection Requiem.
The story is similar in style and tone to Heinlein's better-known story "The Menace from Earth".
