Explanation:
Depends on the context.

If the context is something like: a father has taken affront at someone else for involving themselves in how he raises his daughter, then the first translation could work. For example, "I'm the one in charge here, not you."

If instead the context is saying that the father is the one doing the caretaking, not someone else, the second translation is a better starting place. For example "I'm the one who takes care of my daughter, her mother is absent."
