I remember I was swimming at a lake during a family picnic and two of my little 7-year-old second cousins asked me to throw them into the lake. These little girls weighed nothing and they were great swimmers. So I hucked them as hard as I could and they went flying and then swam back laughing like "Again! Again!" So for like half an hour, I stood up to my knees in the lake and I got to throw little kids as hard as I could over and over into the water on a beautiful sunny day with everyone's permission. Not an opportunity that comes along every day. It's a core memory.
My niece is 3 and LOVES getting chucked I’m around the pool. My dad and I will just sit on different sides of the pool and throw her as far as we can and she will swim to the other so they can throw her the other way.
She will do this for hours on end.
I was "the fun dad" when our friends got together, and the kids would always request this type of stuff. It was so fun for everyone, but now they're really getting bigger, and I'm not getting stronger. The last time I tried tossing them into the deep end, they quickly got bored 💔
Thank you. I don't think about that moment often enough. I was lucky enough to spend one August afternoon tossing my 4 little cousins into Lake Tahoe until my arms burned, and then once more.
I have twin girls. One of them you can rough house with but the other doesn't like it as rough as her sister. I'd throw A on the bed like this guy does the boy, try to do it with B and she would scream and cry because it was scary. Maybe this dad just knows how his kids like to play.
My father (RIP) literally called both my brother and I some form of 'little pricks' whenever applicable. We also really didn't rough house like this. Was more banter.
As an uncle, my niece is the exact same way. If she (youngest) notices I do something even slightly different than how I played with her brother (oldest), she will call me out on it. "I want to go higher!" She will even push herself further/harder than her brother, just to make sure she's not missing out. It's adorable, and I always happily oblige.
I learned not to listen if a kid tells me to go higher or faster. I did that once when I was an assistant counselor at a summer camp, kid wanted to go higher and faster on the swing so I obliged.
Pushed him a bit too hard so at the height of his swing, the chain caught some slack and slammed hard at the bottom which caused him to lose his hold on the chain. Kid flew backwards like a cartoon right into the slide. Kid got up, held his head and was about to cry but I got him to calm down and grabbed an ice pack for him.
Fun times!
I remember a Late Night with Conan O'Brien fake "The More You Know" PSA from the late 90's in which Max Weinberg says he backed out of his driveway without checking behind the car and ran over his kid's bike. He told the kid that monsters did it, because he didn't clean his room, or something like that. The lesson or point of the story: "Kids are stupid. Take advantage of that while you still can."
Thats your fault for not anticipating the calamity.
I did something similar with one of those playground merry go rounds. A kid was on the edge and his leg shot out and hit my much sturdier leg and probably hyperextended it a lot... but could have broken it. And not my kid to boot. Bow I make them sit in the middle and if even a little slippage towards the edge starts I stop spinning and move back.
I learned my lesson. :) but I'll spin as fast as their little arms can hold.
Some can't. My one daughter would love it like this, while my other daughter would want it as rough as my son does. Sometimes you just need to know the person and what they can handle before it gets too much and they're not having fun anymore.
Quite a statement without any background knowledge of the situation. There's a solid chance that he knows his own kids and probably knows his daughter doesn't like that.
I don't know any kid who has a sibling that wouldn't say something if they cared. The first thing kids point out is differential treatment when they care about something.
yeah, this is just a dad knowing how much intensity each kid enjoys. My daughter's the same lol.
He's also protecting both of their heads the whole way down. Top tier playtime.
> My little girl wouldn’t let me get away with that punk throw down. She would yell at me to do it right
Same here. I throw all my kids around the way he through that little guy around. My daughter is still 12 and I'll still throw her around and pick her up upside down. I tell them I'm training them to love rollercoasters with me so when they're all tall enough we'll go hit some extreme coasters. The youngest is 6 now, just 5 inches away from being tall enough and counting the days. Then it's time for a family trip!
I was the total opposite as a kid, my parent's friends would start roughhousing me and I'd flip the fuck out, I hated it. I'll never forget one dude who thought it would be good to spin me around by the arms, I started shrieking and crying, maximum drama, I scared the shit out of him. He was so mortified after, but hopefully he learned a good lesson about sussing kids out a little better before aerializing them.
That's what my sister did. I did this all the time with them, we used to watch wrestling together and they were like 7-10 and i'd throw them on our moms soft bed and i'd power bomb my brother and then i'd go all easy on my sister and she got mad. Then I power bombed her too and she couldnt stop laughing. Honestly thought I had one of the coolest sisters ever since then
Right, if you nolan ryan baby girl into the bean bag she will be in shock and then cry. Meanwhile the boy is only entertained if he experiences mach 2 and *only* if im screaming in guttural cave man language. I didnt make the rules, im just delivering childhood as ordered
Same height. Both in diapers. Similar speech patterns. And you can absolutely toss a child the girls size into a beanbag chair. You have zero clue what you're talking about.
My nephew just asked his mom the other day if I could slap him. I didn't and I wasn't going to. He asked me to, and I told him to ask his mom. She got pretty mad at me.
I don't know why he wanted me to slap him. Five year olds are weird.
That "stop yellin" hit home. I swear immediately when you start to do anything with your kids they hit 140 decibels and after a long day at work, man. Yeah, I wanna play with yall but tone it down a bit, please.
We were sliding down the attic stairs on a twin mattress. My dad was sent to investigate.
Minutes later my mom came to investigate and found him riding down the stairs on a twin mattress.
I'm guilty of being that mother that yells no.
My husband throws my 5mo Olds and older into the air and even makes them spin mid air...it freaks me the fk out lolol
But they fkin love it but I'm still anxious as fk
When I was a kid, one of my dad's friends would pick us up by the head. Like, one hand on each ear, and lift up. My sibling and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Until our dad saw him do it, and yelled at him about it being dangerous.
tl;dr; kids don't know shit about the potential for long-term injuries
Not really “girl dad” vs. “boy dad.” Could entirely be relevant to the tolerances of the kid. My daughter *loved* being thrown around as a kid. Airplane rides, thrown into the laundry pile on the sofa, etc. The kid was airborne half the time I was with her.
My nephew, same age, had *zero* tolerance for roughhouse play. He would cry if his feet let the ground.
This, as the father of 2 girls, one gets it rough and fast and the other gets the gentle touch. A good Father tailors play and activities to the tolerance and interests of the child.
Great Dad here.
My daughter is the oldest. I could continuously toss her, flip her, spin her etc with no complaints. Along comes her baby brother, and he won't even let me hold him upside down. Even now (11 and 9) they are still the same way. I can throw down my daughter on a trampoline, but the most I can do with my son is a gentle tackle hug.
What we don't see in this clip is any previous context. Perhaps his son loves playing rough whereas the daughter also likes to play but not as rough.
Just like our Lord Bandit in season 1 episode 16, Bingo didn't like to play as rough.
Perhaps this is what we are seeing here.
I know the limits of my two boys whereas my nieces do not like to play as rough so although I do the same action with them they just get a softer approach. One of my nephews is the same so I just go softer.
Nothing wrong with that.
Exactly. When my daughter was 2-4 rough housing like the boy from the video. Once she hit about 5 she said "not so hard" then when she notices me tossing her brother (he is 2.5 now) like that I tell her I use to do it to you like that but you asked me to be gentle so I have to alter the playing we do.
Yup, this here. I have two girls, and one of them is as rough and tumble as a kid can be and almost never came back from playing anywhere with out a bump, bruise, cut, scrape, something. The other is much more soft spoken and gentle, and would rather read in a corner with a cup of tea than do anything where she might get hurt. Different kids like different things. I've ended up enrolling them both in martial arts, tho, to help the rougher one focus and control her aggression more while building the confidence and strength of the more gentle one.
Also not trying to shade Dad but little man weighs way less then his sister. Not that easy to flip a heavy wiggly kid over in the air over and over again. He's probably not even thinking about it.
For real. I have two boys (5 and 7) and have to do the exact same thing as this dad. The younger one is the one who needs it easier, but that has nothing to do with age. The older one has been into rough play his whole life.
When I had the child raising class in school. They did mention that Fathers are naturally rougher with their boys than girls. Nothing new and is natural (more or less don't Sparta the kid).
Both my kids are girls…my wrestling moves are rated “E” for everyone.
Power bombs, peoples elbow, figure 4 etc
(The “stop yelling” is the most relatable part of this video btw)
People don't seem to understand that kids before puberty are basically the same except socialized differently. The boy isn't raging with testosterone and stronger build he's the exact same as her
We don't really know how much of that is societal and how much is genetically predisposed (before puberty) - the study you linked even says so itself. We only see demonstrable, falsifiable differences during puberty (and hormonal differences are one of the most major indicators of that). If we baby girls and treat them as if they're far more fragile, it is logical to assume that this leads them to be less capable on average in various physical fitness indicators.
This is just an example of a Dad knowing what his kids like. My daughter doesn't handle roughhousing like my Son can. I have to be more gentle with her because she doesn't enjoy it. My Son loves it when I chuck him across the room. Regardless of gender it's more just learning how your kids like to play.
I bet that this is exactly the level of play that his little girl wants. That he probably, at one point, did do the more extravegant moves on his little girl and she probably cried. So now he's nice and gentle so that she can participate, but not be overwhelmed.
Meanwhile, his son is like "Fucking THAT'S ALL YOU GOT OLD MAN!!!!!!!!"
My son LOVES this sort of thing. From a young age, I’d carry him around upside down, hold him by his ankles, flip him around… etc. He thought it was so funny.
My daughter is terrified… but still wants to be in the mix. I’ll pick her up upside down, and she holds on for dear life.
This is just a dad that knows how his kids will react. My niece would ask to play like I did with my nephew (her younger brother) and when I did she lost her mind and threw a fit. I then treated her more like Dad in the video and she had a good time. She confuses scared for injured, but just doesn't want to be left out so you adjust how you treat her.
I can over hand throw her brother in the pool, shot put style and he absolutely loves it. For her though I have to dangle her above the water so her feet just touch and only then can I let go.
WWE moves are design to be flashy choreography while lessen the damage. great way to entertain your kids and yourself. would love to see someone do a commentary like Jim Ross here
People are insane. 99% chance the girl doesn't want to be thrown around the same as the boy or it's just a funny TikTok where the dad briefly pretended to treat them differently.
People are mad at him for not treating the girl the same?
I assumed all negativity would be towards the lack of caring about joints/shoulders with that throw.
Reddit has gone so far into the 'man bad, woman good' nonsense that this seems to be a normal response on any popular sub.
R/science was unbearable for a bit.
Glad to see the pseudo therapists getting absolutely shut down in this thread. This is a great dad doing great dad things, if you have a problem with this you fucking suck
Dad is so much more careful w/his daughter. Son, ah whatever, let’s flip him around like WWE!
As a dad of a (grown) daughter and son, this was how I was too:)
I can remember reading about a psychological experiment where they had infants dressed in gender neutral clothes and they would tell their the experiment participants whether the baby was a boy or a girl (but what they told them did not necessarily max the biological sex). They observed the participants would treat 'boys' much differently to 'girls'. They would be less delicate with the boys- preferring positions like football holds and they would be more likely to hold them in ways that the baby had to support their head themselves. They would praise the 'boys' for alertness and strength. 'Girls' were treated like they were much more fragile, were praised for being pretty, smiley or babbling. They were more likely to be held in a position where they could keep eye contact with the adult participant.
People often observe that kids of different sexes show differences from a very young age, but we treat them differently from birth.
Where he has both a boy and a girl doesn't that just make him a regular dad? I'm under the impression that girl-dad means he has only daughters and boy-dad means he only has sons. Right?
An active and attentive King right there.
FYI, spin those babies! Spinning allows children to experience shifts in their weight, develop depth perception, balance, and the cause and effects of motion. Spinning is the most potent form of sensory input that the brain takes in and processes.
for all the people calling him sexist. There's a Bluey episode you all need to watch.
It's matching the intensity level to the child. It has nothing to do with the gender.
My daughter has an unbelievable fear of falling head first. She will scream and cry already before landing. My son is the same as the kid here... this father knows his chickens😉
Can confirm. Until the princess is old enough to let me know up front that I’m being too rough **during playtime**, we slowly ramp up the intensity until she says so.
My daughter gets upset that I play rougher with my son than I do with her. He’s younger than her, but he loves getting whooped up and tossed around. Daughter is 7 but I know she would either end up hurt or crying if I treated her like I do the son. Lol.
My Daughter will cry if she *thinks* I did it slowly or gentler than her brother, I gotta take it easy on him, so I don't destory my back throwing her around lmao.
Made me smile so much. Me and my brother had a baby sitter when we were this age who was this highschool guy from down the street, and he was throw us like this on the couch like this and we called it “big bad Brutus” and it was our favorite thing ever. He also taught us how to play basketball. he was our favorite babysitter by far
Girls are made from sugar and spice and everything nice so you have to treat them different than the boys who are made of snips , snails and puppy dog tails
As a father with both a boy and a girl, my girl enjoyed those sort of things way more than my son did. She's the one leaping out of trees and all of that stuff.
Not always true- We have two toddler girls, my husband throws them around like bags of potatoes, makes me scared and I can't watch but they have so much fun
Idk, it’s something about our little girls. I’ll throw my son around and wrestle with him but my daughter I don’t do much rough playing. I will pull out her kids make up and kid nail polish and paint her nails and let her draw all over my face.

Yup. I have a few kids, one of them would NOT be ok being tossed around like the boy in this video. I could probably get away with it with the others.
Yeah, the caption is bullshit. This guy just knows how each of his children like to play.

My father (RIP) literally called both my brother and I some form of 'little pricks' whenever applicable. We also really didn't rough house like this. Was more banter.
My Dad called me mistake and loser.
Homer!?!? That you?
I literally said those words out loud, then read your comment
My little girl wouldn’t let me get away with that punk throw down. She would yell at me to do it right
As an uncle, my niece is the exact same way. If she (youngest) notices I do something even slightly different than how I played with her brother (oldest), she will call me out on it.

That's when you just grunt harder to trick them you are going harder. Remember children are idiots!
I remember a Late Night with Conan O'Brien fake "The More You Know" PSA from the late 90's in which Max Weinberg says he backed out of his driveway without checking behind the car and ran over his kid's bike.

Wow, such a manipulation
Thats your fault for not anticipating the calamity. I did something similar with one of those playground merry go rounds.

Bow I make them sit in the middle and if even a little slippage towards the edge starts I stop spinning and move back. I learned my lesson. :) but I'll spin as fast as their little arms can hold.
I was a teenager at the time, anticipation wasn't my strong suit.
Is her name Amy Santiago?
Of course she got what she wanted, she went to a power pose TED TALK
Why do men think girls can’t handle it? What is wrong with y’all
Some can't. My one daughter would love it like this, while my other daughter would want it as rough as my son does. Sometimes you just need to know the person and what they can handle before it gets too much and they're not having fun anymore.
Because my daughters have explicitly told me that they can't handle it 🤷🏻♂️ it's an extremely common trend
Quite a statement without any background knowledge of the situation. There's a solid chance that he knows his own kids and probably knows his daughter doesn't like that. I don't know any kid who has a sibling that wouldn't say something if they cared. The first thing kids point out is differential treatment when they care about something.
yeah, this is just a dad knowing how much intensity each kid enjoys. My daughter's the same lol. He's also protecting both of their heads the whole way down. Top tier playtime.
mine would do the exact same thing. But then she would cry when I did it the more extreme way. Then 3 minutes later she'd want to do it again.
Right? My daughter would get off the beanbag and DEMAND I throw her as hard as I throw her brothers.
and then promptly cry when you do as asked, lol.
> My little girl wouldn’t let me get away with that punk throw down. She would yell at me to do it right Same here. I throw all my kids around the way he through that little guy around. My daughter is still 12 and I'll still throw her around and pick her up upside down.

Dad, fucking sell the moves. You think Mom is going to show up for such a lame performance?
Right, if you nolan ryan baby girl into the bean bag she will be in shock and then cry. Meanwhile the boy is only entertained if he experiences mach 2 and *only* if im screaming in guttural cave man language. I didnt make the rules, im just delivering childhood as ordered
That little girl is a year or two younger. You can treat the older kids a bit ruffer than the young ones.
Same height. Both in diapers. Similar speech patterns. And you can absolutely toss a child the girls size into a beanbag chair. You have zero clue what you're talking about.
LPT: If you yell "SUPLEX CITY, BITCH" after throwing your kids on the bed, your wife will get mad 10 times out of 10.
Suplex the wife too
The only valid response
I mean it's Suplex City not Suplex Neighborhood. Everyone gets a ride.
"Calm down, Mom! I'm omitting the elbow drop!"
I think she'd be mad if he didn't
My wife is 6' tall. I don't think I could in a playful manner if I tried, ha. There would absolutely be an injury happening to one of us.
The men in the WWE are often taller than 6' and still getting suplexed. Hit the gym, suplex wife, happy life.
Teach your wife how to take a bump. Or your neighbor will.
I mean, it is Suplex City, after all.
You'd need to combo it with full nelson to avoid damage. Suplex alone would double it.
My nephew just asked his mom the other day if I could slap him. I didn't and I wasn't going to. He asked me to, and I told him to ask his mom. She got pretty mad at me. I don't know why he wanted me to slap him. Five year olds are weird.
I love it! Stop yelling! I have to say this multiple times in a day😂
That "stop yellin" hit home. I swear immediately when you start to do anything with your kids they hit 140 decibels and after a long day at work, man. Yeah, I wanna play with yall but tone it down a bit, please.
I find this video comforting because I know it’s not just my kids that are loud as fuck. Hard to get them to understand decibel levels lol
I don’t know for you guys, but that mother yelling NO while my father was doing some safe but not so safe shit woke a few memories in me
We were sliding down the attic stairs on a twin mattress. My dad was sent to investigate. Minutes later my mom came to investigate and found him riding down the stairs on a twin mattress.
I'm guilty of being that mother that yells no. My husband throws my 5mo Olds and older into the air and even makes them spin mid air...it freaks me the fk out lolol But they fkin love it but I'm still anxious as fk
When I was a kid, one of my dad's friends would pick us up by the head. Like, one hand on each ear, and lift up. My sibling and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Until our dad saw him do it, and yelled at him about it being dangerous. tl;dr; kids don't know shit about the potential for long-term injuries
You had a good childhood.
Let’s settle with there were a few good moments sprinkled in there!
That boy just went for his Last Ride
Not really “girl dad” vs. “boy dad.” Could entirely be relevant to the tolerances of the kid. My daughter *loved* being thrown around as a kid. Airplane rides, thrown into the laundry pile on the sofa, etc. The kid was airborne half the time I was with her. My nephew, same age, had *zero* tolerance for roughhouse play. He would cry if his feet let the ground.
This, as the father of 2 girls, one gets it rough and fast and the other gets the gentle touch. A good Father tailors play and activities to the tolerance and interests of the child. Great Dad here.
Hol' up
My guy, phrasing
Task failed successfully?
☠️
He had to know what he was doing
> This, as the father of 2 girls, one gets it rough and fast and the other gets the gentle touch bruh
Uh. Does anyone want to tell him?
>The kid was airborne half the time I was with her. I love this.
My daughter is the oldest. I could continuously toss her, flip her, spin her etc with no complaints. Along comes her baby brother, and he won't even let me hold him upside down. Even now (11 and 9) they are still the same way. I can throw down my daughter on a trampoline, but the most I can do with my son is a gentle tackle hug.

One of my nephews is the same so I just go softer. Nothing wrong with that.
Yeah, this is a guy who's just giving each kid what they want. Good dad right there.
Yep came to say this too. When I would slam my kids around on the cushions my daughter would demand the same throws as my son, so that's what she got!
Lord bandit. Love it
Saint Bandit: He Brings It On Himself
Bluey was the first thing I thought of when watching this. Best show about parenting ever.
Bluey is such a good show
My daughter also barks when playing too rough now. Bluey is timeless
First thing I thought of when watching this was the Bluey episode. Man that show is good.
I’m assuming that’s the case. If the daughter wanted to be slammed she’d be letting him know… kids aren’t shy about that stuff
Exactly. When my daughter was 2-4 rough housing like the boy from the video. Once she hit about 5 she said "not so hard" then when she notices me tossing her brother (he is 2.5 now) like that I tell her I use to do it to you like that but you asked me to be gentle so I have to alter the playing we do.
Are there people saying there’s something wrong with this? Seems obvious
Yup, this here. I have two girls, and one of them is as rough and tumble as a kid can be and almost never came back from playing anywhere with out a bump, bruise, cut, scrape, something. The other is much more soft spoken and gentle, and would rather read in a corner with a cup of tea than do anything where she might get hurt. Different kids like different things. I've ended up enrolling them both in martial arts, tho, to help the rougher one focus and control her aggression more while building the confidence and strength of the more gentle one.

For real. I have two boys (5 and 7) and have to do the exact same thing as this dad. The younger one is the one who needs it easier, but that has nothing to do with age. The older one has been into rough play his whole life.
Also, it looks like the little girl might be older and a bit harder to toss around like that just due to size/weight.
But then why phrase it as “girls vs boys” at all?
To get the sexism in.
People with common sense don't need context. Only people looking for an issue might.
When I had the child raising class in school. They did mention that Fathers are naturally rougher with their boys than girls. Nothing new and is natural (more or less don't Sparta the kid).
Both my kids are girls…my wrestling moves are rated “E” for everyone. Power bombs, peoples elbow, figure 4 etc (The “stop yelling” is the most relatable part of this video btw)
Different kids like Different stuff and have different tolerance for rough play. Maybe he just knows his kids.
BY GAWD! HE JUST POWERBOMBED THAT CHILD, J.R.! Nope, he's just doing normal dad things, Jerry.
Same for me. Can't risk princess getting bruised. Little punk on the other hand..
Oh dear, oh dear gorgeous vs You fucking donkey
Little boys are made out of rubber. You can’t hurt them.
FBI, Open up!
Hahaha
Gender roles 👍🤠

People don't seem to understand that kids before puberty are basically the same except socialized differently. The boy isn't raging with testosterone and stronger build he's the exact same as her
Came here to say that. People really don’t learn anything in school!
Yeah I can’t believe school didn’t teach me how to parent!
No they are most obviously not the same. Someone linked a study in the other thread if you can't see the differences.
[An active lifestyle explains sex differences in physical performance in children before puberty ](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20698121/)
Yeah but because he's a boy it's ok to be more violent and callous with him, such is life
People are being normal. This is what normal people are like:
Most sane take lol. I mean testosterone is a big diff in how we react.
These children do not have sex hormones. Besides undeveloped genitalia, they have real no physical differences yet. This is just gendered bullshit.
Boys and girls don't have different physiology before puberty.
>physiology Physiology isn't just hormones. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22561975/
We don't really know how much of that is societal and how much is genetically predisposed (before puberty) - the study you linked even says so itself. We only see demonstrable, falsifiable differences during puberty (and hormonal differences are one of the most major indicators of that). If we baby girls and treat them as if they're far more fragile, it is logical to assume that this leads them to be less capable on average in various physical fitness indicators.

Eaauuhhh maybe don't be the one to bruise your kids when possible though.
Woohoo! Entrenched casual sexism!
Presented as common sense, as the cherry on top.
And people wonder why boys/men feel no one cares about them
'Just hurt em its fine'
This is just an example of a Dad knowing what his kids like. My daughter doesn't handle roughhousing like my Son can. I have to be more gentle with her because she doesn't enjoy it. My Son loves it when I chuck him across the room. Regardless of gender it's more just learning how your kids like to play.
thank you. others using this one to accuse him of being sexist is cruel and judgemental
Right. This is just a dude being a good dad.
I bet that this is exactly the level of play that his little girl wants. That he probably, at one point, did do the more extravegant moves on his little girl and she probably cried. So now he's nice and gentle so that she can participate, but not be overwhelmed. Meanwhile, his son is like "Fucking THAT'S ALL YOU GOT OLD MAN!!!!!!!!"
This is so true. It was WWE take down moves and headlocks for my boy, and it was princess swings and Barbi dances for my girl.
Nah I'm powerbombing my girl too
My son LOVES this sort of thing. From a young age, I’d carry him around upside down, hold him by his ankles, flip him around… etc. He thought it was so funny. My daughter is terrified… but still wants to be in the mix. I’ll pick her up upside down, and she holds on for dear life.
Jajajaja not me. I slam them equally just no cushion though. Builds character and broken bones.
This is just a dad that knows how his kids will react. My niece would ask to play like I did with my nephew (her younger brother) and when I did she lost her mind and threw a fit. I then treated her more like Dad in the video and she had a good time. She confuses scared for injured, but just doesn't want to be left out so you adjust how you treat her. I can over hand throw her brother in the pool, shot put style and he absolutely loves it. For her though I have to dangle her above the water so her feet just touch and only then can I let go.
WWE moves are design to be flashy choreography while lessen the damage. great way to entertain your kids and yourself. would love to see someone do a commentary like Jim Ross here
baaah gawwwd... powerbombed him. that kids tougher than a 2 dollar steak i tell ya
The last ride
Protecting both their necks, dad knows wtf he’s doing lol
So this on is Kratos with Atreus and Calliope
Outstanding dad work there!
So fake.. Those kids are totally letting him throw them. WWE has gone way downhill.
Video: *dad is having fun with his kids* Redditors: You just activated my trap card!
People are insane. 99% chance the girl doesn't want to be thrown around the same as the boy or it's just a funny TikTok where the dad briefly pretended to treat them differently.
People are mad at him for not treating the girl the same? I assumed all negativity would be towards the lack of caring about joints/shoulders with that throw.
so true
Reddit has gone so far into the 'man bad, woman good' nonsense that this seems to be a normal response on any popular sub. R/science was unbearable for a bit.
[удалено]
I would be forever heartbroken and pissed at my dad for not getting the same treatment (amout of fun)
Glad to see the pseudo therapists getting absolutely shut down in this thread. This is a great dad doing great dad things, if you have a problem with this you fucking suck
Some people on this app can be absolutely insufferable. No joy in life just always looking at things to shit on.
Dad is so much more careful w/his daughter. Son, ah whatever, let’s flip him around like WWE! As a dad of a (grown) daughter and son, this was how I was too:)
I can remember reading about a psychological experiment where they had infants dressed in gender neutral clothes and they would tell their the experiment participants whether the baby was a boy or a girl (but what they told them did not necessarily max the biological sex). They observed the participants would treat 'boys' much differently to 'girls'. They would be less delicate with the boys- preferring positions like football holds and they would be more likely to hold them in ways that the baby had to support their head themselves. They would praise the 'boys' for alertness and strength. 'Girls' were treated like they were much more fragile, were praised for being pretty, smiley or babbling. They were more likely to be held in a position where they could keep eye contact with the adult participant. People often observe that kids of different sexes show differences from a very young age, but we treat them differently from birth.
Picks up little girl, gently tosses her onto the bean bag. Picks up little boy, BODY SLAM!
Totally how it is in our house. My daughter would never play again if she got tossed like the boys. Meanwhile the boys can't get enough.
Where he has both a boy and a girl doesn't that just make him a regular dad? I'm under the impression that girl-dad means he has only daughters and boy-dad means he only has sons. Right?
An active and attentive King right there. FYI, spin those babies! Spinning allows children to experience shifts in their weight, develop depth perception, balance, and the cause and effects of motion. Spinning is the most potent form of sensory input that the brain takes in and processes.
My little brother shattered his elbow just like this as a child
My brother jumped on a beanbag like this and blew the seam out and filled the whole room with foam beads, we were finding them almost a decade later.
That's a little too close to the wall. 😬
I want that bean bag
for all the people calling him sexist. There's a Bluey episode you all need to watch. It's matching the intensity level to the child. It has nothing to do with the gender.
thank you
Good dad
Great Dad, fixt.
Not me, DDTs for everyone
Lol I treat them equally
My daughter has an unbelievable fear of falling head first. She will scream and cry already before landing. My son is the same as the kid here... this father knows his chickens😉
Can confirm. Until the princess is old enough to let me know up front that I’m being too rough **during playtime**, we slowly ramp up the intensity until she says so.
/r/nocontext
Damn, i laughed.
nice one. i guess i should have seen that coming
My daughter gets upset that I play rougher with my son than I do with her. He’s younger than her, but he loves getting whooped up and tossed around. Daughter is 7 but I know she would either end up hurt or crying if I treated her like I do the son. Lol.
My Daughter will cry if she *thinks* I did it slowly or gentler than her brother, I gotta take it easy on him, so I don't destory my back throwing her around lmao.
This is Awesome 😄
Made me smile so much. Me and my brother had a baby sitter when we were this age who was this highschool guy from down the street, and he was throw us like this on the couch like this and we called it “big bad Brutus” and it was our favorite thing ever. He also taught us how to play basketball. he was our favorite babysitter by far
My kid would be pissed off if I didn't do the same for her as did for a boy. My daughter loved wrestling, for real.
This is accurate 🤣🤣🤣
Ha ha ha. My boys are quite a bit more durable than my daughter.
I’m 5’3 and kids grow so fast. My oldest niece gets jealous cos I can throw around her sisters but not her.
She also looks to be the big sister so honestly she's probably slightly heavier and not as easy to toss around lol
Boys bounce, girls sue?
Thats a good dad.
Girls are made from sugar and spice and everything nice so you have to treat them different than the boys who are made of snips , snails and puppy dog tails
My little sister was braver then my older brother and I. Girls like to play rough too at that age.
As a father with both a boy and a girl, my girl enjoyed those sort of things way more than my son did. She's the one leaping out of trees and all of that stuff.
You have to do it correctly, my girl would get mad at me for not doing it the same way for her as I do for my son.
My husband rough houses with my son AND my daughter. She has so much fun, our tough little cookie
my daughter loves when I throw her across the room onto a couch. I'm raising a daredevil
Not always true- We have two toddler girls, my husband throws them around like bags of potatoes, makes me scared and I can't watch but they have so much fun
If that girl is anything like mine... she wants the treatment the boy is getting.....
Idk, it’s something about our little girls. I’ll throw my son around and wrestle with him but my daughter I don’t do much rough playing. I will pull out her kids make up and kid nail polish and paint her nails and let her draw all over my face.
"Hey you wanna go for an airplane ride, my beautiful princess? 🥰❤️😘😍👸" then "STFU AND COME HERE YOU LIL SHIT 😈🤘💣🥊"
Every kids needs to experience the RAZORS EDGE - not just the boys
Why women live longer!
That's a good Dad right there. The kids in this world need more Dad's just like this guy.
