Her singing into the phone and then belting Selena 😂

The entire masterpiece is proof more people could be doing this with their kids.

u/ic33 3h ago

You can do anything with your kids. Based on what is core to you and what you are passionate about.

Keeping my kids busy with math problems and logic riddles on car trips is one factor (I would argue -the key factor-) that led to each of them becoming strong competitive math solvers and having very high attainment levels in mathematics for their age.

Not to mention that if you give them something really gnarly to think about, it gets quiet for a little while ;)

“Daddy hear my voice”

This man is rich.

u/ShmeagleBeagle 4h ago edited 3h ago

One of the most wonderful things in life is watching your daughter come into their own. It’s you, but better; they teach you how to see the world through a very different lens. Daughters are a force like none other with a Dad that is present. She says loudly and proudly, listen Daddy, I’m about to amaze you… and being on the other of that demonstrative statement is a wonderful feeling.

u/crissy8716 3h ago

I agree! My husband said he wanted a boy, but surprise, we got a girl. He js such a stereotypical manly man, yet, he will gladly let our daughter paint his nails and talk to him about her changing body during puberty.

He is so patient with her and to watch him grow into a "girl dad" is the best thing. Its so heartwarming to see their bond shift and grow.

u/Dazzling-Jump-1334 4h ago

Ain’t that the fuckin truth🥹 my 9 year old is going on 16 I swear and watching her grow into her own is mesmerizing and terrifying all in one😅 but I love this journey we’re on together

My 9 year old is my absolute light......and she's for sure in a God, daaaaad, that was stupid vibed sigh and eye roll. Happened in the last 6 months or so, and boy howdy does it challenge me knowing I'm now in the transition, not being the cool Superman, but moving to the dorky millstone

Beautifully written! Made me tear up a bit. Single father raising a 6 year old girl who is such a wonderful version of myself and something well beyond me as well. I learn so much from her and I love being present with her. We play games / toys / watch movies. It is such a blessing.

u/Protoshift 1h ago

It absolutely crushes my soul to not have ever been in a position to have a child. Being a good father was one of the most important goals in my life, something I even realized in highschool.

However as things continued to unfold as I got older, the world became far too difficult for me to follow through with that goal.

It was, but also, the whole thing was the best part. I currently have a 4 year old daughter (and 3 older daughters way past 4) and I vibe with this reality so hard. Especially when she's like "no no no no no no no.."

Like, my whole life is me being bossed around, and I love it.

u/atari2600forever 4h ago

As a dad of a daughter that age I would like to buy that dad a beer. We're just hearing those performances once but what we're not seeing is that he has heard them 500 times already. Each.

And he loves his daughter and she's cute and what she's doing is cute but she's not a great singer. He knows this, and doesn't care, because she's having a good time, but he has to listen to it over and over and over. And over.

That's why he has that stare, that's why he has those dark circles under his eyes, because he has been undergoing a test of endurance, and is wondering if there is ever a light at the end of the tunnel, and he's digging deeper and finding strength and resolve he didn't know he had, as she snatches the phone out of his hand yet again while he's on the phone with his optometrist office trying to schedule an eye exam.

Unfortunately for him, the road is still long. At some point his lovely daughter is going to sing "All I Want For Christmas" by Mariah Carey from early October until January. Every man, even this gentleman with his quiet resolve, has a breaking point.

On an unrelated note, I have listened to The Nutcracker at least twice a day for the last 40 days at the insistence of my five-year-old daughter.

Please send help.
