As A Dad, Giving My Daughter The Hairstyle That Makes Her Feel Like A Queen Always Is A Win In My Book
Louisa Johnson 3 years ago
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.

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.

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.

Welp, I cried through almost this entire thread.

Just to brag about my dad on a thing that happ very recently: a while ago I was making some food and smashed a plate on my foot. 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

My heart is breaking for the want of my father, just one more hug, one more 'love you too', a smile, a word of encouragement or pride in me-anything. I'm 32, lost my dad to stomach cancer at 22. I wasn't the best daughter in my teen years right up until he died. I was such an angry person, so confused and damaged within myself. I adored him, I cared for him, I loved him but I know he died without me making him proud of the person he hoped I'd become. I just wasn't ready damn it and now I am that good person he's not around to see it.

how are y’all’s dads so wholesome and mine yelled at me the whole day for being scared of heights on a zip line…I was standing there about 20 minutes and he kept saying “GO! NOW! SIT DOWN AND GO ON THE ZIPLINE!” And then he got apparently super sad and CRAAAAZZZYYY defensive when I asked him to “please stop dad you’re making it worse”!? Then gaslit me later and said I called him “mean” and “uncaring” and “rude” when all i said was please stop - along with saying we were there an hour and a half when it was about 25 minutes….

...Is this what having a dad is supposed to be like? Context, I technically have a dad. One that lives in the same house as me, even. But ever since my family moved to a different state, my dad has been the one working. This, and the fact that I was in school, means that we kinda drifted apart before I was ten. My family tends to prefer to be alone, so we don't tend to bond very well. I go through and read about good, wholesome parents or siblings and I'm on the verge of crying, because I'm so close to having that but I never will.

I miss my dad more than I can put into words. He taught me all the 'real life' things that get me through those tough days.

I adored him, I cared for him, I loved him but I know he died without me making him proud of the person he hoped I'd become. I just wasn't ready damn it and now I am that good person he's not around to see it.

Just found my father nine months ago. I'm 42 y/o. Wished him Happy Father's Day for the very first time ever today. Couldn't have seen a happier man.

A few years ago, I was driving down the road and spotted a full-size rowboat sitting in a pretty large puddle on a front lawn. In the boat was a dad and his little daughter "fishing". I wish I had taken a picture. One of the sweetest dad moments I've ever seen.

how are y’all’s dads so wholesome and mine yelled at me the whole day for being scared of heights on a zip line…I was standing there about 20 minutes and he kept saying “GO! NOW! SIT DOWN AND GO ON THE ZIPLINE!” And then he got apparently super sad and CRAAAAZZZYYY defensive when I asked him to “please stop dad you’re making it worse”!? Then gaslit me later and said I called him “mean” and “uncaring” and “rude” when all i said was please stop - along with saying we were there an hour and a half when it was about 25 minutes….

...Is this what having a dad is supposed to be like? Context, I technically have a dad. One that lives in the same house as me, even. But ever since my family moved to a different state, my dad has been the one working. This, and the fact that I was in school, means that we kinda drifted apart before I was ten. My family tends to prefer to be alone, so we don't tend to bond very well. I go through and read about good, wholesome parents or siblings and I'm on the verge of crying, because I'm so close to having that but I never will.

Many of us had fathers who were alcoholics, abusers, etc. and never knew what it was like to have a dad. So happy for those who had a real dad. I always wonder what it would have been like.

I miss my dad more than I can put into words. He taught me all the 'real life' things that get me through those tough days. He was the only one who ever told me he was proud of me and that he knew I would be successful...I'm getting ready to graduate with my Masters - it's been an uphill crawl but I still hear him telling me I can do it. Thanks Pop, I hope I still make you proud.

Poor dude. I’m sorry you feel that way =( eating less processed food can help, but if there’s another reason you’re feeling unwell, I hope you get better soon.
