Being a parent is no walk in the park, and no matter how we spin it, men and women have different experiences. Mothers often get all the flowers for being primary caregivers and the ones who hold the fort down when it comes to the kids. However, fathers can be just as loving and devoted. In fact, 85% of American dads say that being a parent is the most important aspect of who they are as a person.

Few places on the internet are as wholesome as the community for fathers, “Daddit.” With almost 500k visitors, it’s Reddit’s go-to place for all things fatherhood and parenting. Bored Panda has collected the most wholesome moments dads have recently shared with other members, celebrating the most rewarding job: being a dad.

    Took mine a day at the age of four - a week later we went on our first bike tour together and she crashed over the front of the bike in the first 10 minutes and lost a tooth (helmet wasn't scratched at all). That was fun... The next day she wanted to go biking again - so we did.

    Best way to teach a child to ride a bike is don’t bother with stabilisers. They serve no purpose because pedalling isn’t the hard bit to master. Instead buy a balance bike to start with or remove the pedals from their bike. Get them to scoot along and lift their feet up, coast down hill with their feet up, etc, until their balance is brilliant. Then put the pedals back. I feel like stabilisers is a sales trick that parents keep falling for because they don’t know any different.
