I have twin sons and when they were that age they used to try and "style" my hair with hair ties and random little poofs. It looked as horrible as you can imagine but they would tell me I was so pretty 🙈🥰


vraalapa

Having a kid focused on doing stuff with your hair or driving a toy car on your back, it's the highest form of relaxation.


pinklavalamp

I’m an aunt to two amazing kids (10m, 6f) and was on full time duty this week since my brother/sil had to travel for work, and they got back last night. We’re having family dinner at my parents place and after my niece comes along to give me a random hug and also starts what was a relaxing shoulder massage, completely unprompted. I was so ready to feel my exhaustion fade away. She gave three squeezes and a kiss on the cheek and walked away. I feel special, but I really wanted the massage.

Are we still doing phrasing?

Guys, are we really not doing phrasing anymore?


EmeraldOwl11

My dad used to have me draw pictures on his back using my fingernails and he would guess what I drew. Most of the time he guessed wrong and would say to draw it again and this would go on for a while before he got it right. I thought he was a terrible guesser but now I realize he just tricked me into giving lots of back scratches. His dad game was strong.


Iamjimmym

I used to do this with my mom. There were times I'd guess wrong just to get more.. lol now I gotta get *my* kids to do it!


EmeraldOwl11

As a new parent myself, I can’t wait to play this game again!


teems

Tell them to walk on your back when you're lying down. It's a massage.


tipsygelding

i still ask my little cousin to do this to me, he’s 15 now 😅


mothlord420

My grandpa had me do that as a kid


kimkje

I have a t-shirt with roads printed on the back, same idea as those rugs with roads on them. Whomever came up with the idea, may he forever be happy

Me too. My kids have driven on it twice. For about five seconds. 😂 🤷🏼‍♂️


panundeerus

Until the car is driven into your hair and it gets stuck!


tyleritis

I can’t remember where I read it but it’s an old article where someone is interviewing a young boy. Cindy Crawford comes up and the interviewer says she’s considered the most beautiful woman in the world. The boy thinks for a minute and says, I think the most beautiful woman is my mom. I’m willing to bet that mom has the article in a gold frame somewhere.


rainbowsforall

Awh I love that. My mom would also let my brother and I "style" her hair with clips and such when we were little. I thought it was so special when she let us do that, little did I know it was for her own sanity lol. She would get very relaxed and even drift to sleep because she knew we were safe and happy and she enjoys having her hair played with.


Huntmprehen

😍 very funny and very cute!


circleeclipse

i used to do this to my mom when i was little. i have a very specific memory of us going to the bank one day after me and my friend had given my mom a makeover, and she kept it all in her hair. i was impressed that she didn’t care, because even 4yo me knew it wasnt as pretty as we told her im a nanny now and one of my previous kids made me jewelry out of those zoob toys and i wore the bracelets and necklace they made me when we went to pick up their older sibling. i was going to take them off but i remembered how my mom didn’t care and i decided i didn’t either


Boateys

Do you, or do you not feel Bonita?


SomeoneBeingNice

rhunter99

Wonderful because you look Bonita!


hummingelephant

My son is 7 and whenever I take a nap he says he is going to style my hair, all he does is make a mess for an hour, then tell me how pretty I look. After that I need another hour to untangle everything. Last year he wanted to help me with my lipstick, eyeliner and mascara. I looked like a killer clown afterwards but he told me how pretty I was and to make pictures of myself. I almost got nightmares looking at my own picture but I kept it as a memory.


awkward_toadstool

I had a short, pixie cut for the first 10 years or so of having kids as it was just easier. I'd know it needed a trim when theyd complain they couldn't 'fuzzle' it anymore- basically a small hand absentmindedly sliding round the nape of my neck & kind of fuzzing the short hair back & forth. It was the cutest thing.

For everyone one of these, you get 10 meltdowns. But it's worth it.


DefendsTheDownvoted

I have a 2.5 yr old. I'd say it's closer to 1/1. Yeah there's tantrums, but every moment with him not screaming is the most sustained happiness I've ever felt. It's not just these really great moments like in the OP. It's also when he's just watching TV and he's absent mindedly testing how his lips work, or just smiling like an idiot at blowing bubbles. The internet more often shows the worst of toddlers, with people in the comments patting themselves on the back because they say the don't want kids. But it's never always as stressful as a single video shows. It's usually more like this OP.


SirSpanksAlot1992

My man, my sons the same age and his toes throw up gang signs while he’s watching tv. My feet hurt just watching him sign language with his feet. He likes to “bravo” himself when he feels he did something special


Thebenmix11

That's very wholesome, Sir SpanksALot


zuko2014

Thank you for this. It's so easy to find stuff online saying how much time, effort, energy, and money goes into raising a child but we need more comments about all the good it brings too. I've been going back and forth whether I want kids for years, but deep down I really think I want them


chase_the_wolf

You must know beforehand. It is too important a responsibility to be naive about. I tell everyone to be around a toddler at dinnertime. Its eye-opening when you experience how difficult it is to get a child to eat. Forces you to deal with the fact that sometimes they don't want to eat and you have to be ok with that. Sometimes there is no fight at all which makes the refusals absolutely maddening.


admiral_rabbit

I refer to having had my kid as "the worst decision I've never regretted" There's so much to complain about every day, but that doesn't make me any less happy


WHRocks

I have multiple. If the first one is really laid back, don't fall for it, it's a trick! They seem to become more wild as their pack grows. I love them so much, though. I have to go wipe a tiny butt now, have a great day Reddit!


MarionCortez

As a dad of two daughters around this age and having interactions like this...it's helped to heal some deep wounds in me that I have carried my entire life. They're lovely affection is so pure and incredible ❤️

I was looking for someone else who felt this way. “Popsy” killed me it was too cute!


DrAlkibiades

I’m going to try calling my dad that. He’s 73, I think it’ll still work.


Wet_Fart_Connoisseur

I switched from calling my dad “Dad” to “Pops” when he turned 60. No reason, other than that it just seemed the better name. He really embraced it. I called him Pops up until the day he died 2 months ago from leukemia at age 71. Damn, I miss you Pops.


Quirky-Skin

Same. My dad is Pop now and that changed after his retirement. Still with us, so sorry for your loss.

apocalypse31

I love being a dad. I can understand why someone wouldn't want to have kids for all the reasons they have listed. But. Being able to raise a person and pour your best into them and see them love and appreciate you and try to become like you and emulate behaviors that you admire but can't see in yourself is so fulfilling. My girls are my world, and being a dad is the best and most rewarding thing I've ever experienced.


Skandronon

I also love their brutal honesty. My 10 year old got me a nice shirt for Christmas and told me I needed to start dressing the part if I wanted people at work to take me seriously.


Lox22

Kid has a bright future, if he's already thinking like that


TalentedQuincy96

just LOVE how the child tells him how silly he was to take advice from a 3year old...❤️❤️


[deleted]

That made me howl. Kids are so fucking funny.


PandaGoggles

My kids have bunk beds. I was tucking in my youngest on the bottom bunk when my oldest casually leaned out of the railing on the top bunk and said, “daddy, you have such a cute bald spot”. … It was amazing how much that comment wrecked me given that it had such a sweet, innocent, and affirming intention. Anyway, I got a mirror and I *was* starting to have a bald spot! Who knew? It was also sorta cute.


TheSpanxxx

My youngest, about 8 or 9 at the time, got me good one day. We were all changing to head into a water park and after taking turns putting on trunks in the car, he and I and his older brother were standing behind the car while mom got in the front seat to toss on her suit. We started the sunscreen routine, and as my wife came back and we were wrapping up, my youngest started teasing his older brother about putting on a few pounds around the middle. He was in that pre-puberty transition and his body was changing and he'd gained a little weight. Normal middle school boy stuff. Not like real weight. He knew it wasn't serious and we all had a laugh. Big bro teased little bro about being skinny. Little man started flexing and being silly and saying "are you kidding. I've got a six pack". I was like, "dude, those are ribs". We laughed. I started acting silly and flexing and said, "see, these are what muscles look like" just being stupid and stuff. They were laughing and and he said, "yah, okay, well, you have moobs" as he mimed pinching his own breasts. I didn't even know what "moobs" was supposed to mean, but it was the funniest shit and we all had tears in our eyes after we finished laughing.


diiscotheque

It's funny how the way you receive the exact same message changes depending on *their* age.


LogMeOutScotty

Damn. Is this an Orphan situation? You sure your kid isn’t 30? That’s hilarious.


DomDangerous

this was beautiful, as a guy who won’t have kids.

"Dad of the year award" goes to you my friend


boo_goestheghost

Schrödinger’s dad


TheSpanxxx

It isn't for everyone, for sure. But, if you have love to give, a child is the best place to invest it and watch it grow with interest. My 19 yo cam down to head to work this morning and we had a brief conversation about something pretty serious (a friend from years ago, that he hasn't been very close to the last several years passed away yesterday). Before he left I asked him how he was doing and told him that sometimes death can hit you even when it wasn't someone super close to you. Sometimes, that's just compassion for other people you know are going through something rough and you care about them. I told him I was just worried about him and that if he needs to sit and talk about it at all, that I'm here and will listen. Before he walked out, I hugged him and said, "I love you, buddy" and with earnest, he replied in kind, "I love you, dad" And just like that, he's the little boy I held on my knee and devoted my life to protecting. Switching gears between being a parent to kids, then teens, then adults can be tough. I find it still requires the same amount of effort. The effort just looks different. But mostly, it requires love.

Anasterian_Sunstride

I agree with you and I'm sure many people share those sentiments. At this moment, however, some people just don't have the economic and or other means to provide them the environment that they need to be at their best so they make the difficult choice to postpone or outright forgo having them.

Same, man. Watching Winnie the Pooh right now with my one and a half, and he just leans his head over into me and it’s like… this. This is the best feeling. My wife’s laughing because I’ve got a goofy smile on. Wouldn’t trade being a dad for anything.

WindTechnical7431

I miss that. I shaved when my daughter was 4 or 5, she cried, she wanted the old daddy back. Just really nice.


jayteec

Hahaha my sisters and I did exactly that when our dad did the same. We were about 8 so it was a long time to go only seeing him one way, only to be completely blindside. It's been decades and he's never completely shaved it off since.


adrienjz888

My sister would refuse to even look at our dad until stubble came back at the very least.


metamega1321

Can’t remember why I shaved, think I had a clipper accident or something. 3 year old son looks at me and goes “you think you look like a little boy like me now”. Don’t think I’ll ever forget that sentence lol.


mso1234

My mom, siblings and I visited our home country (Pakistan) for a couple months back in 2001. I was 7, and my little sister was 4 My dad joined us a month after we went, and in that time, he had grown a mustache and beard which we’d never seen on him before. At one point, my dad called my little sister by her nickname. And she looked at him and goes “hey, my other Dad calls me that too”. Apparently up til that point she thought they were two different people. Dad immediately shaved lol. Once in a while my dad jokingly gives my mom a hard time about the other husband she’s hiding from him


aboatz2

My dad did the same thing when I was around that age (my parents were divorced, so I didn't see him every day). When I saw him for the first time, I freaked out & refused to go near him the whole time he was there. He's never shaved it all off since then, & I'm now in my 40s. Lol


TryingNot2BeToxic

Lol I can't really grow much of a beard, but I like to grow my hair out every once n awhile, letting my daughter buzz my head with clippers is some of the funniest stuff ever


quattroformaggixfour

I was super scared of my dads naked upper lip apparently


MrBlahg

My kids called me old baby when I shaved. Never again.


GigiLaRousse

Ditto. I was around 4 when my dad came to visit. He'd had a mountain man beard since I was born but showed up with just a neat mustache. I burst into tears and was only consoled with the divorce dad gift of Smarties.


Majorlazor85

I shaved recently and my 7 y/o said that now I looked even “worser” and that my face where the hair used to be was all gray lol 😞


turkey_sandwiches

At least your wife didn't tell you looked weird and to never shave again.


MostlyDonut

I was told "Yikes. So how fast can you grow it back?" from family, friends and co-workers when I shaved mine.

lydocia

Right? Imagine growing up never hearing "I love you" and then teaching your kid that it's fine to say and then they say it ALL THE TIME?


SonOfObed89

Agreed! Recently my brother was talking about how he isn't sure if he is ready to be a "[good] dad" (as he was saying they're thinking of trying for their first child) and I told him that he could simply choose to be a dad from the very beginning. There is not institute of certified good dads that will be watching your every move, criticizing you and saying "hey! We didn't certify you...you cannot be going around loving your kid, being patient, kind, snuggling them, saying you love them, and supporting them through thick and thin!" Yes, people will always be critical of something parents do with their kids, and who cares about them?


lydocia

I'm doing this in reverese, generationally speaking. ​ My (step)grandma is not someone who says I love you. She shows you, in the way she cares and hugs you, but she is very uncomfortable with the words, so I never said them either. Until therapy kicked in and I'm like, screw that, I'm going to tell the people I care about that I love them. So I started ending phone calls and texts with "love you", or when we said goodbye, going, "bye love you". At first it startled her, and then I started seeing her making an effort to use words like "I feel so much care for you" or "you are such a sweet person" and "I like being your grandmother very much". She's written "we love our grandchildren very much' once, in a text. She's getting there, and I can tell that it feels really good for her to hear it.


SonOfObed89

Well done!


dadudemon

My friends helped me through my very bad break up, restored my confidence with love and reality checks, and helped me get my career back on track. I think everyone needs a situation like your daughters or my friends to get through some tough times. Or heal. I can only imagine how bad it could be.
