10,401 | daddit | To be honest, I'm struggling a fair bit at the moment, the 2 year old gets up at 5 but rarely sleeps through the whole night. My wife and I try to give each other a break but it's difficult to not be woken up even in a different room. It will get better at some point I'm sure, but present me just wants to sleep. |
10,402 | daddit | Because they're non-stop, you have no help or support, and you barely got 4 hours of solid sleep the night before? . I love my boy, but you can't pour from an empty cup. And he's an only child lol. |
10,403 | daddit | Got a dad-shamer here. |
10,404 | daddit | Sounds like you don't spend much time with them during the week. I get up with the first one at 5am and put the last one to bed by 830pm. But you keep judging super dad |
10,405 | daddit | Hello fellow dad, I don't know why you are getting the down votes, my guess is a combo of some are doing it out of guilt and some just hating in general because you seem happy. Kids are much more perceptive than we think, so I am sure your little dudes can tell your excited to spend time with them. Ignore the haters and good luck with #4! |
10,406 | daddit | Big oof |
10,407 | daddit | My 3 yo slowly and methodically wore us down to a 9/9:30 bedtime over the course of a year. I recently got her back down to 8:30, and it’s not budging from there. I never realized how desperate I could feel for a extra half an hour |
10,408 | daddit | Gah, I feel you. Looks like we're in identical situations :| |
10,409 | daddit | The only thing I will say is - it does get better. Hang tough man, that first time when they sleep thru is glorious. But i get it, fucking hell man, I really get it |
10,410 | daddit | Don't worry brother, it's always the ones that offload the kids grandparents at every opportunity that don't get it. I see you doing the Dad grind. Keep up the good work |

10,414 | daddit | I'm baffled, I read through his comments and the guy never name called or judged anyone in this thread, yet guys are dog piling him left and right because the man is excited to be with his kids on the weekends. Seems like a lot of asshole dads in here. |
10,415 | daddit | You can't say you've never felt burnt out. And you negate the comment where most don't have support or help. No family anywhere. I call this account "positive trolling," lol. We don't hate our kids, and most of our lives aren't miserable; but we're only human. We get tired. We need sleep. We need time for us. And we don't ever get to have that. We have to get up every day and keep at it. We have to find it in the 5 minutes of cold coffee in the morning. Unless you're on meth, then I digress lol. |
10,416 | daddit | So you don't have any support system that ever takes the kids and you've been with them every day since birth. You and your wife both 40+ hours a week You do 50% of the house work and child care for 5+ years and your not burned out. Sure |
10,417 | daddit | Belittling folks who are tired is what earned you the dad-shamer. Nobody here doesn't love their kids and want to hang out with them, most of us just aren't lucky enough to have the balance it sounds like you do. |
10,418 | daddit | That fact you say that you look forward to the weekend to see them tells me your wife does most of the work, or you off load them the family regularly. I'd probably feel the same in your situation, but I'd be less condescending about it |

10,422 | daddit | Alright help me out. It's Saturday, you've got a one year old and the whole weekend to just the two of you. What exactly are you doing with a one year old that is a blast for them and you? |
10,423 | daddit | Yeah, you know what you did, and we see through the comment tricks you are trying to use. |
10,424 | daddit | You say you "do breakfast", but do you get up with them at 5am and change the pissy sheets when they wet the bed? Do you make them breakfast, then make them breakfast again because you refuse to eat the first one and they will get hungrywhen you drop them at school/daycare? So you make the packed lunch and pack the book bag with snow pants and extra gloves and socks? Do you get them ready brush teeth and drop them at school on your way to work, then start all over again when you pick them up? There's a difference between being present and doing the work 24hrs a day 7 days a week. |
10,425 | daddit | Good job, dad. With family working in the SpEd field and a nephew on the spectrum, I've seen how rough things can get and I understand what this meant to you. |
10,426 | daddit | One of the best quotes I’ve read so far: “they may not always like the contact, but they always want closeness. They just don’t know how to ask for it.” Make a point out of asking him a few times a day. It will bring this to the surface and allow him to actively decide how to go about it, if at all. It’s really helped with our daughter |
10,427 | daddit | No you’re crying |
10,428 | daddit | No one in my family has ever been diagnosed with autism. I cannot imagine the daily struggles. However, I do have friends with children who have autism. Well I don't know what the daily struggle is, I do understand that moments like this are the exception rather than the rule. I will never know how much this moment meant to you though I understand it's a significance. Absolutely beautiful. Heart melting. |
10,429 | daddit | I feel you dad. As a fellow father with an asd child, it's these little things that we crave, and when they happen they feel so special. It's small things like this that dad's with non asd kids can sometimes take for granted. |
10,430 | daddit | Fellow autism dad here. Have my cheap award because I have nothing else to give. |
10,431 | daddit | That's precious |
10,432 | daddit | That’s so amazing. I’m not crying you’re crying! |
10,433 | daddit | Awww. Bless. I am so happy for you. |
10,434 | daddit | That would be so hard not to hug back. I love hugging my boys. I’m glad you’re working to speak to him in his language, though. |
10,435 | daddit | This is a beautiful moment that you got to share with your child. Priceless to get this on video. |
10,436 | daddit | Man it's so hard to see how natural certain emotions come from other kids and that it takes so much more for yours to reach even a bit of that. But when they do those little things, it's like being on cloud nine and you never take them for granted. Congrats to your little guy for being able to show you how he's always felt. |
10,437 | daddit | Love this sub and the sense of community here. You can tell kiddo loves his dad, and that's the best feeling ever. Happy weekend, OP+ |
10,438 | daddit | This the type of video you’ll watch when your having a bad day. Take as many as you can, they grow up fast. |
10,439 | daddit | So happy you could catch this on camera |
10,440 | daddit | I would literally immediately cry if that were me ngl |
10,441 | daddit | That’s a beautiful sight. |
10,442 | daddit | I'm not crying.......It's just allergies |
10,443 | daddit | Yep someone cut an onion early this morning |
10,444 | daddit | Goddamn these onions I'm cutting up while scrolling reddit. Seriously. My son is on the spectrum and is going to 1st grade this year. It's been hard on everybody, but man are those just the best hugs. And seeing him excited to see me when the bus brings him back. You're doing a great job dad. |
10,445 | daddit | That's beautiful. And it's recorded for you to keep |
10,446 | daddit | I think the cutest part of this is that you made sure to grab the recording after he was gone. You’re a great dad, keep it up! |
10,447 | daddit | Man, you had to be giddy as everything trying not to be too overly excited with this development. Glad for ya! |
10,448 | daddit | Been there. My son is 3 and on the spectrum. He’s mostly affectionate with my wife but once in a while he will hug me from behind and give me a kiss on the back. It’s a good thing he doesn’t talk much because he could ask me for literally anything in those moments and I would give it to him. |
10,449 | daddit | Damn this made me tear up. I can imagine how amazing that must have felt. Thanks for sharing daddyo. Have a great day! |
10,450 | daddit | I'm bawling, this is so sweet |
10,451 | daddit | Dang, I could feel that while watching it. It's a journey, man. You're doing a great job. Be proud of yourself! |
10,452 | daddit | I'm so happy for you. The little moments are what make it worth it. |
10,453 | daddit | So cool. I bet that felt amazing. |
10,454 | daddit | So happy for you! That’s a feeling of pure love that sends our hearts brimming. Here’s to many more moments like this for you and your sweet son! |
10,455 | daddit | Fuck, man That has to feel so good. |
10,456 | daddit | Dad heart melting. |
10,457 | daddit | Legit hit me in the feels. I cannot even begin to imagine how monumental this moment was and how it must have made you feel. From one dad to another, hugs. Thanks for sharing this moment with us. |
10,458 | daddit | Wasn't expecting getting this emotional going in Reddit today. |
10,459 | daddit | This must have been such a welcomed and memorable day! |
10,460 | daddit | This is awesome and can’t even imagine how it must have felt! Makes me realize how much I take for granted these types of moments with my own boys. Thank you for sharing! |
10,461 | daddit | You're a lucky man, my man! That is pure love right there. |
10,462 | daddit | That must have been an absolutely amazing feeling. He loves his dad. |
10,463 | daddit | Good job! Good protein shakes! All around good! |
10,464 | daddit | That's amazing man! |
10,465 | daddit | Beautiful moment man !! |
10,466 | daddit | You’re killin it dad! |
10,467 | daddit | OH MY GOD WHOS CUTTING ONIONS IN HERE?! |
10,468 | daddit | Oh my fucking heart right now… |
10,469 | daddit | As a fellow dad of a sensory sensitive autistic daughter this made me cry with how special of a moment it is. It is a treasure to get it on video. Congrats! |
10,470 | daddit | Aww buddy. That was so awesome to see man. Love this bro! |
10,471 | daddit | What a big moment to catch on video! I’m so happy for you both! |
10,472 | daddit | This is so special. Keep it up dad. I can feel the love you have for your son and it's amazing. |
10,473 | daddit | Literally the best feeling you will ever. |
10,474 | daddit | Never realized the things I took for granted with my kids really until now. I can’t sit on the ground without one on my back. That’s awesome he gave you that moment. |
10,475 | daddit | Oh fuck why did this get me so bad |
10,476 | daddit | That is so awesome man. My little girl isn't very cuddly so when she randomly hugs me it's the greatest feeling. |
10,477 | daddit | I got a problem, there's a swarm of onion cutting ninjas in my house |
10,478 | daddit | Top dad |
10,479 | daddit | I am so happy for you. My son has sensory issues with autism - so I completely understand how HUGE this is for you! |
10,480 | daddit | Going from *abrupt intense touching* to *touching is over now* so quickly is weirdly relatable for me. |
10,481 | daddit | What an incredible moment. The happiness and pride on your face is obvious immediately after. This got me all misty. |
10,482 | daddit | I love this so much. What a special moment to share. |
10,483 | daddit | What a sweet boy |
10,484 | daddit | Aww that’s so precious, lovely you got it on film. |
10,485 | daddit | =) - that's all |
10,486 | daddit | Wife and I just got back from a long car trip and our toddler is bouncing off the walls. Its been a difficult day. Thank you so much for sharing this snapshot of your life. Helped bring some calm into my scrambled brain. |
10,487 | daddit | My 2 year old is autistic and I’d be in tears if he did this |
10,488 | daddit | We have 3 sons on the spectrum. They do everything in their own time! Someday you will be even more amazed at his progress. The rewards are that much sweeter <3 |
10,489 | daddit | That’s awesome! r/MadeMeSmile |
10,490 | daddit | My son was very recently diagnosed with autism - he’s starting ABA and occupational therapy soon as well as speech therapy He’s an amazing kid and just incredible to be around. He loves cuddles which makes us happy but we’re still figuring everything else out. Brand new field for us. |
10,491 | daddit | Just beautiful. Nothing better than those private moments of pure care and love |
10,492 | daddit | Heart warming |
10,493 | daddit | I can tell from this video exactly how amazing of a father you are. You let him engage with you on his own terms, you didn't turn and overwhelm him, you didn't grab him or try to hug him back. This is obviously the security he needs and you gave it to him. Keep up the good work, you're doing it right. |
10,494 | daddit | Sweet precious moments like these |
10,495 | daddit | Beautiful. |
10,496 | daddit | Your smile. I hope you many more just as big. |
10,497 | daddit | As a teacher of children with autism, when I get something like this it warms my heart and makes it all worth it. To see it from a dad’s perspective is even more glorious. Thank you for sharing! |
10,498 | daddit | Did he give your head a little kiss toward the end too? This is super sweet by the way. You're rocking it, Dad! |
10,499 | daddit | Love this for your dad! |
10,500 | daddit | I love when my son snuggles up to me. He's 6 now so it's not as frequent but defined more special |
