That doesn’t make you bad! Not at all.

Replying to one of the top comments for visibility. Thank you all for your upvotes and didn't think this would get so popular so fast. I am overwhelmed by all the thank yous and f- yous too. Thanks to those who posted the artist info and want to put it here for visibility - [https://www.beardocomics.com/](https://www.beardocomics.com/) Please support the artist if you can! This is one of those images I downloaded some time ago and randomly found, and wanted to share because it reminded me to be in the moment. I'm glad it resulted in a lot of random hugs to surprised kids and I loved seeing all the comments of what panels you dads are on.

Dude, 8 month old daughter for me and I’m right there with you. Phwoo, didn’t expect that!
10,904
daddit
My daughter is a little over a day old and this really hit me. I'm like the least emotional person too, I guess that will probably charge soon. I just hope I don't go bald in the next 18 years
10,905
daddit
Mine is just 2 months, but already outgrew some clothes, so this one hits hard.
10,906
daddit
My daughter is 5. I’m somewhere between the 5th and 6th picture and I really don’t like looking 4 pictures forward. It’s all happening way way too fast.
10,907
daddit
My boys are 8 and 5 and this hit me like a ton of bricks as well. Going to snuggle them extra hard tonight.
10,908
daddit
Ha ha ha. Thank you for a genuinely amusing chuckle.
10,909

I'm around 5/6 too. My kid is in preschool. Every time I take him for a walk or to the store to buy groceries, I miss the stroller days. Every single time. It's insane how fast it goes by.
10,910

Who sprayed mace in here?
10,911
daddit
6 and 7 here. It's just been raining on my face
10,912
daddit
Firmly in 5, but 6 is probably closer than I think it is…
10,913
daddit
I’m panel one. This is a great reminder to slow down and enjoy the little moments.
10,914
daddit
9 here, and brother it feels like #5 was yesterday
10,915
daddit
5, 6 and 7 for me!
10,916
daddit
Same. Two girls. Panel 6 is working on tracing her letters. Panel 5 just said “Ellepen” then “wer is?” While watching tv today. Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin…
10,917
daddit
2 and 4. I'm trying to cherish every moment I can, but reminders like this are necessary occasionally.
10,918
daddit
5 for my girl, 6 for my son. Time fly way too fucking fast…
10,919
daddit
I’m in 7 with my boys.
10,920
daddit
Between 4 and 5. Wife was supposed to co-sleep tonight but I’m taking over.
10,921
daddit
Somewhere around panel 7 or 8 with my daughter. Not ready to advance any further just yet. The previous panels passed by way too fast.
10,922
daddit
5/6 gang represent! Not crying at all here, no sir.
10,923
daddit
I feel like I’ve been in panel 5 forever.
10,924
daddit
I’m just as surprised as you that I’m right about something.
10,925
daddit
I’ve said it before and (like a dad) will repeat myself constantly. Parenting is the only thing in my life where everything I’ve heard about it is true. It’s amazing, exhausting, the hardest and best thing ever, stressful on your relationship with friends and spouse, and more rewarding than anything in life. AND time flies faster. It just does. Enjoy your little one!
10,926
daddit
Congratulations, sir!! Welcome to fatherhood
10,927
daddit
You’re very welcome, man. Hard for time to fly when you’re tearing up.
10,928
daddit
Please tell my wife and boss!
10,929
daddit
Same. I’m e got one in panel 5 and one in 6 and wish I could freeze time. But then I also find my wife and I thinking ahead happily to having 16 and 18 year old girls. It’s such a two-sided coin.
10,930
daddit
And make sure they're backed up at original quality! The compression really cuts down on the image quality if you back up a low resolution version
10,931
daddit
Mind telling me how this went and any advice? I have an upcoming 13 hr flight with 8 month old and I'm nervous.
10,932
daddit
Hmm. I am ok with this. Since he was born he has spent most nights next to me. Since his mother decided on divorce *every* night we have is spent next to one another. His choice. He feels safer that way. He says his mom won’t let him be next to her and that she locks the door. Also, he spends weekends with her on his own. She sleeps most of the day (she has an autoimmune disease). So very sad. Also, “this isn’t a mother-state” my ass. She can’t hardly do anything and here I am begging for scraps. Ask me how angry and hurt I am… f’ing ask me. I just want the best for him. Sigh.
10,933

I've already been accused of stealing baby watch shifts by the wife lol

I hope it only serves to help you live in those moments more often.

My daughter is having her 4th birthday party in T-4 hours. The wifey is worried about how many people we should be expecting to provide ice cream for, and last night was a little pissed off that the girl would absolutely not go to sleep unless she was allowed to wear her special birthday party outfit to bed. If you’ve ever been in a car wreck, then you’re “prepared” for being a 0 emotional dad with a daughter, bc shit just blindsides you at times. Legitimately, my sincere hope is that in the last few seconds of my life, I get to remember the time when she was 2 that she flung open the curtain when I was taking a shower and said “HEY DADDY!!!” and then we spent the next 5 minutes spitting water at each other. That’s a thing I want to take with me before I go.
10,937
daddit
Yooo!! Congratulations!!
10,938
daddit
Mine are 8 and 5 and I’m realizing the only time I ever “hold” my 8 year old anymore is when he jumps in my arms after he gets off the school bus. I need to hold them both a LOT more.
10,939
daddit
Hahaha we’re coughing and blubbering, trying to keep it together.
10,940

Terrible day for rain.

I've just been cutting onions. I'm making... a lasagna...
10,942

Sorry.
10,943
daddit
Lol 6 is a real mind fuck. My 3.5 year old is just a little lady and her little sister is a reminder of the chaotic ball of energy she used to be. It’s an awesome stage though.
10,944
daddit
Same here this might be the first time a Reddit post made me cry. At least we’re able to recognize this early on and make the best of it! I am not religious but I weirdly find myself thanking god or something a lot now, realizing how much of a blessing working from home has been with my son. I’ve spent maybe between 10 and 20 days away from him his entire life so far! God I love him so much
10,945
daddit
yup 5 for me too. long may it last
10,946
daddit
Panel five here, can't wait for preschool... Not enough goddamn coffee in the world...
10,947
daddit
Me too. You just want them to grow up fast but I'm starting to realize it might be too fast
10,948
daddit
But with more hair right?
10,949

One girl. 1.5 here. Sometimes I’m just so tired. This comic is a good reminder.
10,950
daddit
Thanks. How do I make sure of this? I need to Take more videos, but I feel bad being on my also! Fuck!
10,951
daddit
It’s been interesting. 2.5 hours left as of this message haha. A rotation between my wife and I of playing with new toys that she’s never seen and old ones that we know draw her attention. Pretty much let her play til she gets tired and hungry. Normally a nap after feeding, 2-3 hours or so. Then repeat. Our daughter has never really slept more than 4 hours straight so your experience may be different. She also did not like the bassinet that was given so she’s been on the seat or shoulder sleeping Wife and I have been trading off on eating as well as we have 4 meals on this flight. Also, I will say this is our honeymoon and we opted for business class…so the room in our cube is a game changer as it allows her plenty to crawl around, so we do have that benefit.
10,952
daddit
I just did 10 hour flight with a 4 month old, and it wasn’t bad. We fed her a bottle at take off and landing and she didn’t complain much. She did get a bit antsy I just got up and carried her around the back of the plane and walked back and forth rocking her and nobody ever complained.
10,953
daddit
Hey dad, just wanna say keep it up. I know it’s tough when they’re away and telling you what moms up to and how it makes them feel. Legal and everything else aside, you just keep fighting for him and he’ll know. Just keep doing what you do, being a good dad to your boy. Be patient with him and always listen, you’ve got many more years to grow and bond, it sounds like you’re going in the right direction.
10,954
daddit
I just bought the print. I'm putting it where I can see it every day. I do my best to try to Bandit. I hope this helps me be an even better father. I'm in tears. I've never, ever seen this comic before. God I'm a softy.

For one...

That feeling of...oceanic thankfulness is really something else, especially as an atheist.
10,959
daddit
Sometimes I like to think of "god", or "the gods" as the animating force of life and cascading series of events that led us to exactly where we are in our lives. The exact choices that we made (or were made for us, depending on how you view "free will") and the biologically predetermined combinations of genetics and epigenetics, and even things that are a little more ephemeral like our moods, the weather, etc. at any given moment that brought us to the place we're at in the present moment. The random events that led us to meet our partners. The random and spontaneous combination of sperm and egg. Forces beyond our control that have direct control over our lives in subtle and not so subtle ways. If that's not good enough to interpret as gods then I don't know what is. Then again, I have a tendency toward animism.
10,960
daddit
Yeah man, my daughter is 8 months already. I was and still am the same as you, where I look forward to them being able to do more and more… but then all of a sudden I started realizing I missed her little potato stage or some other memory of her. It’s really a strange progression. I don’t know, not trying to spout off any wisdom, just an observation of mine. I do know that this comic solidly made me cry though
10,961
daddit
Man, it seems like just a short few blinks ago I was you. I had one 1.5 year old and was so tired. Now I have two kids in elementary school (6 and 8). It goes fast… I’m not quite as exhausted as I used to be though, so that’s something!
10,962
daddit
It does get easier once you can really talk to them.

I use dropbox with a subscription for this, it's backed up in original quality.

The crazy thing, amongst many, is that he and I have always been closest. They never bonded and it pissed her off to no end. Oh well.
10,967
daddit
>God I'm a softy. No, you're a *dad*. It's okay, dude.
10,968
daddit
>God I'm a softy. Me too. And I wasn't. Never dropped a tear even in bad events in my life. I'm still not one to cry but oh boy these little things changes us.
10,969
daddit
Amen, brother!
10,970
daddit
I hear you man. God boils down to Luck, and I sure do have a lot of it, especially in relation to almost anyone else on earth, ever! I mean my kid wasn’t even planned, and I honestly don’t think I would have ever been able to talk myself into actively trying for one. But I thank my lucky stars all the time that he’s here now!
10,971
daddit
It’s tough like that. Just remember it’s not a competition, honestly it’s just about the kid. Took me a bit to drop the bad feelings, few years later mom and I are cordial enough for a few good laughs again. Everything passes good and bad.
10,972

Best. Fucking. Answer.

I need to know: Do you drive through and pretend to order them, or do you just pull them out like a magic trick?

When she’s older: “McDonald’s hash browns used to taste different, I swear!”
10,975
daddit
I put them in pop up toasters. They actually need to cook on max for 2 cycles but come out perfect. EDIT: I buy the target brand ones. Theyre dirt cheap as well.

This is a Grade A dad hack. Bravo

ALDI for the GOAT. Love that store.
10,978

It's okay to say no.
10,979
daddit
I feel like your pavloving your kid to want food or hash browns when they see a McDonald’s
10,980
daddit
This is the way
10,981
daddit
“No.”
10,982
daddit
Good hack Hash brown every day may not be the healthiest lifestyle though
10,983
daddit
Did you try saying "No"?
10,984
daddit
If you sign up for the McDs app, you often can get the hashbrowns cheaply and can order from your car.

Boo, no.
10,989
daddit
Aren't they like 2 for 99 cents? I'm sure the Aldi ones are cheaper, and nothing wrong with saving money, but the hash browns I think are about the only thing on the menu I wouldn't consider expensive.

well played, no you just have to start writing her little messages on them from Ronald McDonald....

Love it. My kid loves those little individual cups of Mac and Cheese. Super expensive to have all the time, but we keep them on hand for emergency dinners. So I just saved two cups and serve him homemade Mac and Cheese in them.
10,993
daddit
Daughter always screams for McDonald’s fries when we drive by. McDonald’s potato’s must be laced.
10,994
daddit
Man this is genius! My son loves McDonald's fries but Everytime we go through there we end up buying way too much food I'm going to start doing this trick for my own benefit!
10,995
daddit
Good idea. I pick up my 2 year old at daycare and one day she was crying so we stopped for nuggets. Now after I pick her up without fail it’s “get chicken nuggets” I also think the daycare teachers hype her up a little
10,996
daddit
Big brain Dad moves. I'm taking notes for next year.
10,997
daddit
I get the taking forever, but expensive? Aren’t they like $1?
10,998
daddit
Maybe give her a healthy filling breakfast instead? May I suggest a little fine oatmeal in a bowl, cover slightly with milk, 1 minute in the microwave, mash 1/2 banana and mix it in, top it with an variety of fresh berries. My kid eats this every day.
10,999

I applaud you but as someone who likes McDonalds hashbrowns the Aldi shit is no where near as good.
