I Donated A Kidney To My 5-Year-Old Son
This is also pretty lucky. I used to work in a Renal Unit and the amount of times family members weren't compatible was heartbreaking
Maybe you could enlighten us on how they deal with organ size in transplants for children. It's hard for me to imagine dad's adult sized kidney fitting in his son's body.

Will be 20 years next week I donated a kidney to my oldest brother. With a 16 year age gap, he was close to a dad. If I had another spare, I would donate again.
To learn more about what it’s like to be a great father, we reached out to dad and blogger Casey Palmer, aka Canadian Dad, who was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda. “What I love most about being a dad almost a decade into the journey is seeing the people that my children are becoming after years of trying to instill as many values, abilities and traits as I could in them along the way,” Casey shared.
“At nine, my eldest can scramble eggs and is starting to catch up to me in video games, and the seven-year-old is ever-inquisitive, learning everything he needs to know to carry him through his days,” the Canadian Dad continued. “Nothing's perfect, but I love figuring it all out with them!”
My Dad Kept Asking To Come Over After He Missed My Son's First Birthday Party Because Of Covid. Turns Out He Made Him 8 Custom Wooden Toy Cars
Oh Wow, they are forever toy cars that can be handed down to the kids grandkids ❤
Wow he has a great sense of detail, how beautifully talented. You should set your dad up with an Etsy shop, that would be a great gift to give to a kid, or any car lover actually
These Dads Are Awesome
This is still one of my favorite stories and one of my favorite photos of all time.
At my daughter's elementary school they had Donuts with Dads this year. They expected a turnout of maybe 10 - 20 Dads. A out half of all students had their Dads show up. The whole front of the school was filled and they had to file us to the gym and then others to the cafeteria. Needless to say, 3 dozen donuts was not enough. Modern Dads show up, don't count us out.
When it comes to what the most challenging parts of being a dad are, Casey says, “What I didn't fully appreciate about being a dad before I became one is how much of myself I'd need to give up in order to do so. Before kids, I enjoyed a life spent gallivanting around town hanging out with friends, stuffing my face, and enjoying everything my city had to offer.”
“But after fatherhood, it was like all of that went away in the blink of an eye, and I needed to find new things to fit in my life that took new routines and responsibilities into consideration,” the father explained. “It took some years, but I feel like I'm at a place where I'm finding my way again, and the kids are old enough that they're joining in right alongside me.”
So I Was Getting Ready To Crop This, But Just Look How Happy The Dad Is
Adorable and the love on the dads face shouldnt be cropped out, the little girl will cherish this pic in years to come
Right at that moment, she's the only thing he could see. Not even if the sun fall off
She is just the most adorable baby ever, and just look how happy the dad looks, you should get that picture enlarged and framed....

My Brother Was The First To Graduate With A Master's In My Family. My Dad Couldn't Stop Crying
I'm not surprised Bouche, you are a lawless kitty!

Congratulations to that young man and I hope his family has a wonderful time celebrating him and his accomplishment!!
my dad is a very quiet person who doesn't show his emotions very much. i had heard the expression of someone being so proud they could 'bust their buttons'. when i graduated i looked out and saw my dad in his best suit - if one of those buttons had popped it would have been with the velocity of .357
When asked if having a sense of humor is a requirement for being a great dad, Casey responded with a question for me: “Is water wet?”
“Having a good sense of humor will help you get through so many of the challenging situations that life will throw your way,” the Canadian Dad noted. “Kids complaining about being hungry? Tell them: ‘Hi, hungry, I'm dad!’ Foul moods at the dinner table? Tell your worst dad jokes to cut the tension and bring everyone together with a collective groan! Fatherhood needs you to not only learn to laugh at situations, but also learn to laugh at yourself, because no dad is perfect, and the sooner you can embrace that, the smoother your parenting journey will be!”

This Cake Looks Better Than The Ones In The Shops
On par with or even better than many you'd find in a bakery!

Has dad considered a career change to being a cake decorator? He clearly has the skill for it.
For those who don’t speak Spanish, lo quiero mucho means I love it (the cake) a lot.
Casey also had some wise words for any soon-to-be dads out there. “Becoming a father isn't the end of the world - it's just the start of a new chapter!”
“When my wife told me we were expecting in 2013, I suddenly found myself trying to accomplish everything on my bucket list that I could, because a baby meant that I'd have no time to do any of the things I wanted to do,” the father noted. “But I couldn't have been more wrong - children don't subtract from your life; they add to it!"
My Dad Had Passed Out After Taking Care Of My Sick Brother All Night
This image captures so much love, caring, and sadness. It is both beautiful, and heartbreaking.
OP wrote: Hey everyone! I want to thank you for your kindness and well wishes. Also to the people who gave gold, silver, and platinum. You didn’t have to do that but I appreciate it. To answer some questions I’ve seen a lot, my brother has what is called Battens disease or otherwise called NCL. It’s a disease which causes slow loss of muscle use, and my brother has been unable to walk or talk for the last 5 years, on top of which is him being mentally challenged since birth. We do all that we can for him i.e. feeding him, cleaning him, changing him, and giving him medication for seizures. There is no cure, but that does not keep us from quitting. I love my brother and my Dad, and I’m glad you all are showing love to them as well In the words of Ringo Starr, peace and love ❤️✌️ Edit: Someone made a good point of adding a website where you can donate to the research on NCL which you can find here (1/2)

Cherish the ones you love, things change, people leave us, but we can always be kind, so be kind early and often, to infinity and beyond (not coincidentally from one of my Dad's favorite movies)

My Dad Deserves The World
“Where I just acted without thinking before, suddenly every decision I made had a potential consequence that could impact someone else's life forever,” Casey explained. “[Being a father,] you get a different appreciation for time, becoming hyper-aware of what you need to give up to do the things you want. But it will profoundly affect you in ways you can't imagine, and it makes you better for it!”

My Dad Visiting USA For The First Time, And His First Wish Was To See A Clean River
Heartwarming but also it's tragic that people have to live with contaminated rivers in some parts of the world
Unfortunately some people habe to live near contaminated water in the US, but a lot of the time they won't realize it until they get sick because whoever was contaminating the water will try to cover it up as much as possible. It is horrible.
Load More Replies...Wow that's actually really sad. He should come to the UK we have plenty of clean rivers, canals, streams running through miles and miles of moor land, beaches. Look up Cornwall UK. I will be his tour guide. He looks so happy
Having a great father figure in your life, even if he is not technically your dad, can make a huge impact on you. A loving father makes their family feel safe and secure, teaches their children valuable life lessons, and provides a role model for what it means to be an excellent partner and parent. Sadly, we don’t all have the opportunity to grow up in a home where Dad is present, but according to research, growing up with a father reduces a child's chances of engaging in risky, delinquent behavior and committing crimes.
While moms and dads are both wonderful, Vanessa LoBue, PhD explains for Psychology Today that they do tend to interact with their children in slightly different ways. So kids benefit from the unique ways that their fathers play with them just as much as they benefit from Mom’s style of play. Apparently, fathers tend to play more physically with their little ones, jumping on trampolines and playing sports and games such as tossing their baby in the air and catching them. While these activities aren’t every parent’s cup of tea, paternal physical play is associated with positive outcomes for children, LoBue notes.
My Dad Met My Son For The First Time Yesterday. I've Never Seen My Dad So Happy
Never seen dad so happy cause you don't remember his face when he carried you for the first time
My Dad (step) never held me, or my sisters, as a baby, I was 10 years old when he came into our lives. He did bawl his eyes out when I asked him if we could call him Dad. He cried again when I surprised him with my name change Deed Poll so I could get married under his name.
Load More Replies...This picture made me cry. I'm missing those days with my son when my son was alive. It's a picture of pure love and wonder. I miss my (adult) son so much. Just love your children and give them 1000 kisses/hugs every day.
I'm so sorry for your loss, that must have been awful to experience.
Load More Replies...Nah, he’s just happy he can give this one back! Sorry, sorry…terrible dad joke. Please don’t downvote me 😅
That is what dad's do when they hold their babies cry like a baby. Someone has to teach them to cry.
My Dad Loving The Sight Of His Son Being A Dad

My Dad did this all through his life as well! This reminder brought tears to my eyes because I miss him so much...
I envy him. I'm only 66 but it'd take two strong lads and a wheelbarrow to get me up again!
Dr. LoBue goes on to note that dads have been known to encourage their children to take greater risks than mothers typically do. “For example, dads might encourage kids to try riding a bike on their own, or to jump off the high dive at the pool,” she writes. “Importantly, dads don’t encourage risky behavior in a reckless way; they tend to provide a safe and secure environment with supervision while encouraging kids not to be afraid of new things. It’s not that moms don’t encourage their kids to try new things that might be potentially scary, it’s just that dads tend to do it more.”
I'm A Dad Of 2 Girls Under 10 With Split Custody. As They've Gotten Older, There Are Times They Get Too Embarrassed To Tell Me Things. But I Got This Idea, And It's Working
I tell my teen this all the time. Make sure your kids know that your love is unconditional and that they can tell you anything and you'll figure it out together.
I did something similar with my kids. If they were too embarrassed to tell me personally they could write it in the notebook I provided each child. If they wanted me to read it they could leave it under my pillow. I would then write back to them and leave it under their pillow. It would never be discussed face to face unless they brought it up! They eventually started coming to me with all kinds of things and they, as adults, told me how good it made them feel knowing they could tell me anything without feeling awkward or embarrassed.
Wow!! This is awesome! Wish I had done that with my daughter or my father had done that with me. So much heartbreak would surely have been avoided. Alas it is too late now. (I am going to save this idea and present it to new and not so new parents in my life, and with my counselor, and with my Bible study friends, and anybody else who might be headed or going through tough times with their kids. I so wish I'd been aware of this idea!)
Load More Replies...I wish, my dad would be like this. I cannot tell him, how bad my life is now, because he never would understand mental problems 😰 you're great and I your children will see, how great lucky they are 🙏
I really hope there is someone you can talk to
Load More Replies...My kid would just tell me some weird c**p - like “2006 Honda Civic” or “we’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty.”
My Dad told me if I were ever at a party or drinking, he would pick me up, he didn't care how late or what I had been doing, just call him and he would come and get me. My Dad was very strict with a temper, but that was a big reassurance for me, I've heard too many tragic stories of kids who ended up dead because they tried to drive, got in the car with someone, or got stuck somewhere and became a victim of crime because they were afraid of their parents getting angry
My father had same rule. Used it a couple of times, no punishment. He was just glad we were safe.
Load More Replies...My Son Asked My Dad If He Knew Where To Find Treasure. My Dad Made A Map, Hid Magic Treasures Around Our Property, And Took Him On A Treasure Hunt
Hey, it’s who they are going to be for the rest of their lives. For ever. And ever. Never changing. Like, ever. YOU DONT UNDERSTAND! *stomp stomp stomp* ….. SLAM! 😊
Load More Replies...My dad used to set up little treasure hunts when I was a kid! Each clue led to another clue until we found the treasure. Years later I thought hey, I should do the same for my nephew! But as he's currently too young to read clues, I came up with an alternative: I collected some small rocks, painted pictures on them, and put them in different places around the garden. Then I gave him a basket when he came over and sent him to go find them. Now, every time he comes to visit, playing rock hunt is part of the fun. :D
When my boy was six he was helping me and two friend cleaning the front yard of building rubble. That involved a lot of digging. When it was time for a break we hid a hessian bag with old European coins 2 feet deep and put a Red Cross over it at 1 feet deep,then covered is with soil and grass. After the break we asked my boy to loosen the soil in that area. It went from 'thud' 'what's this' 'oooooh' must be a treasure to frantic digging and discovering his treasure. Afterwards he helped so enthusiastically he accidentally severed the glasfiber cable to my home...
These things are memories. Maybe 20 years ago a close family friend had a BD party for her son on my property. Pirate themed with "pirate" games / each game earned a piece of their pirate outfit. Anywho I made a treasure box for them and buried it with some fake bones and made a treasure map. the kid and his brothers are like 30 now and they still talk about it. Cute side note - because of a note I left in the "chest" he was honestly worried the pirate was going to come get him for taking his treasure - needed to be reassured. To them it was real. lol

Load More Replies...When it comes to what makes dads so great, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the beloved dad jokes. Of course, you don’t need to actually be a father to enjoy this corny style of humor, but we must admit that dads are artists when it comes to making silly puns and jokes that will cause audiences to roll their eyes. But according to the British Psychology Society, we shouldn’t be quick to dismiss dad jokes as bad humor, or accuse our fathers of being unfunny.
“That would be a mistake,” Marc Hye-Knudsen writes. “When considered properly, dad jokes are an intricately multi-layered and fascinating phenomenon that reveals a lot not just about how humor and joke-telling work but also about fathers’ psychology and their relationships with their children.”
As A Dad, Giving My Daughter The Hairstyle That Makes Her Feel Like A Queen Always Is A Win In My Book
This is a great dad flex, my husband could not even put our girls hair in a ponytail, straight white hair as well so should of been a easy place to start but he could never get it right no matter how much he tried lol. We have had another daughter and she has tight, tight curls. I like to clip her fringe to one side. Even this trips him up. I have never seen anyone struggle so hard with a hair clip.
On the plus side, I think it's sweet that he tried, and that he struggles. He may not be able to do it (inexplicably), but the effort is real. :)
Load More Replies...I believe there are some cities in the US that offer classes for dads to learn how to do their daughter’s hair.

Years ago, I saw my daughter's teacher after school one day. I'd been hospitalized for a time, but we didn't tell anyone. She said, "It's good to have you back." I asked how did you know I was gone?" She said, "Your daughter's hair, oh my goodness. It was obvious your husband was combing it for her."

Load More Replies...I need a tank to shoot the soft can-opener and the stupid new kitten that's going to be a stupid companion for me.
Gotta love military family humor. . .! Cats love anything cardboard with a hole.
Hye-Knudsen explains that “dad jokes work on at least three levels: as puns, as anti-humor, and as a kind of weaponized anti-humor when dads use them to teasingly annoy and/or embarrass their children.” When it comes to puns, however, Hye-Knudsen says they don't all qualify as dad jokes because they must not only “deliberately say at least two different things at once,” they must also be “terminally inoffensive.” They can’t be sexual in nature or inappropriately crude. They have to be wholesome and family friendly, which makes them prone to receiving eye rolls or being deemed lame, but being stupid can sometimes actually make dad jokes even funnier.

“Telling a joke that is so lame or unfunny that it doesn’t deserve to be told out loud is itself a violation of the norms of joke-telling, and this can in turn make the dad joke funny,” Hye-Knudsen explains. He goes on to say that we often start setting up our jokes by shifting our tones or making it clear that we’re leading up to saying something funny. However, “dad jokes flagrantly violate this norm by following up this shift with a thoroughly tame pun. A dad joke can thus be so stupid, so lame, so unfunny that this paradoxically makes it funny.” Therefore, if we view dad jokes as a form of ‘anti-humor,’ we just might be able to appreciate them.

I looove this! When I was a kid I was really shy and my mother bought a doll for me and gave her a really outgoing, adventurous personality in the hopes this would give me more self esteem. I took that doll everywhere, but at some point I lost her somewhere. For a few weeks she was gone, then on Christmas she sat under the tree with a photo album full of pictures of her adventures. I still have that doll to this day, she is sitting on the couch in my apartment and last christmas marked her 35th birday

Oh dear, this can happen, apparently it can take quite some time... Here are some tips- *Feed them facing one another. *Rub Bouche's favourite toy over Audi's @nal scent glands. *Make sure to give equal or more attention to Bouche. *If possible, you might have to keep Audi in a separate room for a bit. *Give Bouche a treat when she tolerates Audi, even sitting in the same room without being aggressive. *Wait 6 months before neutering Audi, allowing him to partly go through male puberty will mean she will smell his testosterone and will be less likely to view him as competition compared to a female. *Distract her when she's aggressive, she might just be bored *Remember that cat may look like she's attacking but it is often playfighting/ toughening him up, if the fight is silent it is usually playful. *Get a cat tree or make high spaces that she can climb will lessen her need to prove her dominance, and boxes / spaces for him to hide. *Last but not least, give it time! Good luck 😎

My niece’s mom-in-law would carry the niece’s pup outside to potty, put her down to do her business, then pick her up and carry her back inside; rain or shine, it didn’t matter. When the mom-in-law moved out, the pup expected the same treatment and wouldn’t go potty unless she was indulged! She grew out of it, but it took awhile 😆
Reminds me of my dad. Didn't want a cat (we're more a dog family), got adopted by one of the 3 grey tabbies he and Mom were given to be barn cats. Spoilers, they're indoor cats, and each of the 3 adopted someone in my family. Bear (M) adopted Mom, Luna (F) adopted my husband, and Tigger (F) adopted Dad, who, when I spoke to him on the phone for Father's Day, was petting her as she purred in his lap. ❤️
There is no stronger bond than the bond between a dad and the cat he didn't want. XD

Unfortunately he had an accident when I was 18 and suffered catastrophic brain damage. He was severely brain-damaged after that, and was bedridden for over 20 years (we took care of him at home.) I met my boyfriend two months after my dad's accident, and we're still together. My boyfriend and I were both at my dad's bedside when he passed away two years ago. I held one of my dad's hands and my boyfriend held the other. I never got to have my dad at my wedding, but - at least he got to meet the guy who's stuck by me for 23 years :)

Probably. I. The UK the L would be red, since it's an alert to other drivers to beware of, but I'm assuming this is another English speaking country. (Sidebar - we also have green P, for drivers who have passed their final test but are still fairly new. They may never have driven on their own, or on certain types of road before and might make choices that a more experienced driver wouldn't. Or like when I used them, have a new car and be really uncertain about the controls. In Wales, a red D can be used - dysgu means to learn. A black A is used in France - apprendre)

This Guy Kept His Hand In This Position For More Than 45 Minutes So His Daughter Could Sleep Well
Just now holding my sleeping chick's head in her car seat with one hand while typing with the other hand 💓
But if his dad sat behind her, it would've been a better choice to roll her seat back cause we can see from the picture the seat from her left could be moved backwards. It would've been more comfortable for the both of them and the daughter could get some sleep too. And it would've still been a sacrifice from her dad because he'd have less space.
My dad did it too. I saw only nightmares first decade of my life, so that was it.
Her Dad's Response
Wow! Either this dad is truly enthusiastic about his son and researched the subject, or maybe this related to the dad's profession. A way the son could honor dad? Regardless, dad's reply is great.
Yes, This Is My Dad. He's 37, And No, He Isn't Single
The realization that I'm close to this dad's age makes me feel sooo old 😭

How My Dad Differentiates Netflix Users On His Account

Never Ask Your Dad To Bring You Stuff To School
No. Boo to this. I grew up with parents that thought embarrassing their kids was funny. It's not. It's weird and incredible mean spirited to set your child up for harassment and embarrassment.
Harassment? Oh dear, what school did u go to that kids would do such a thing?...

This Man Was Reading The Lord Of The Rings To His Children, And It Reminded Me Of My Mom. I Hope To Be That Kind Of A Parent Someday
My best friend when I was little had a dad who did this for all three of his daughters (my friend was the middle daughter). He was a professional voice actor and reporter, I was always so jealous! My dad was really cool in his own way but I always wished I could have her dad read Lord of the Rings to me too!

I bet he'd have loved to take apart/look at the insides of modern electronics. (My dad had an accident when I was 18 and then I inherited the mantle of family fix-it, lol)
Hundreds of hours?? My son can't seem to go more than a few weeks without getting stick drift, or something similar. Thank God for warranties...

Daughter Wants To Work In The Garage With Her Dad. Needs Hair Pulled Back. Dad Hack 101
I remember watching a video of a dad who was learning to style his daughter’s hair. In the beginning, when he was just starting to learn, he’d use the hoover to pull her hair into a ponytail then slip a bobble over the hose and onto her hair. It was clever
They use to use vacuums to dry hair so that actually makes sense.

I miss my dad so much :( I'm adopted and he was a wonderful dad, never treated me like anything but his 100% daughter. He had an accident when I was 18 and sustained a catastrophic, traumatic brain injury. He was in a coma for 6 months, then when he came out of it, he was near-vegetative, had to wear diapers and get a feeding tube. I lost "my dad" on the day of his accident. We took care of him at home, and I gladly spent the next 21 years living at home helping to care for him. He died two years ago with me at his hospital bedside holding his hand. My mom and my older sister (who is their biological child) refused to stay and left the hospital. I stayed. I held his hand and said goodbye. I would not have traded any minute with my father for the world, not even one of the times I had to change his diaper or his feeding tube, and I still miss my dad. I wish I'd had more time with him, or had asked him all the things I always wanted to ask him about his life. I have so many regrets.
You are a great daughter. A 100% daughter. Horrible things happen in an instant, you could never have said all you wanted too. He's still with you every day though! How do you not have more upvotes (here's mine)?!
Load More Replies...When my 10yo was around 6 he started watching My Little Pony on Netflix. My wife was shocked I didn't say anything because I had always been the rough and tumble male archetype. I said the stories have good lessons and he's happy. A year later he got shamed by some girls in his class for reading one of the comics so he stopped asking for the books and to watch the shows. Every once in a while I will put one of the movies on and wait for him to wander by. He'll sit down ask why I'm watching it, I say it's fun. He'll stay and watch and make the odd comment about a character. When it's done he leaves and nothing more is said about it. It's too bad that's what happened at school but he never was judged here and I hope he remembers that later.
I can't make it through this list without feeling sad. My dad decided I wasn't worth $50/week in child support and disappeared around the time I started kindergarten. Haven't seen him since, and I'm 44 now.
I'm so sorry you had such a c****y sperm donor. I hope you are happy and living a great life.
Load More Replies...Welp, I cried through almost this entire thread. I grew up in an incredibly abusive household and this sort of support is absolutely foreign to me; it made me cry because I never got to experience a dad that isn't a total piece of shít and simultaneously happy to tears for these people that get to experience so much love and support.
We're with you. Many of us had no clue what it was like to have a real dad who cared. You're not alone.

Not gonna get into a lot of detail but I collapsed from shock a couple times. After I managed to lay down and get my blood pressure back to normal I was completely fine except my foot hurt but my dad made sure he only worked near by (his job is pretty flexible and has travelling) the next day in case I needed him although I was fine
It sounds like he's worth bragging about :)
