If that husband really loves you, he would love your dad (and mom) as well. He's simply concerned on that, to the point he "lies" saying "I'll be there for dinner".
Do you really think your dad loves you for being a good cook?
We, as dads, developed a special feeling for our daughters and, after we have got one man in the family, the moment we overcome several fears for having a daughter, we fall in love when we see them they're not a risk or too dangerous, as we (I, instead) thought a girl in the family would be.
I was AFRAID of having daughters!
I spent a full year to accept the blond one I firstly got (she passed away) and the 2nd was (and is) a JOY for me.
