Put him on hoverboard next

they see me rolling, they hating

Bro kids will do that to you... I used to think I was hard growing up from my neighborhood in LA. Now I have twins (b/g) and shit like this makes me cry on the daily. Wouldn’t change it for the world
11,305
daddit
Really happy you wrote this. I'm in my late 30's and just had my first. I thought I was having issues with low T and was worried a bit.
11,306
daddit
Everyone's saying how they were hard as a rock and now balling at the thought of their children. In my shoes, I was already a crier at movies. And now? ... Wow ... everything is just 200% more emotional. I don't know how I'll manage sitting through my daughter's first graduation, or her wedding... I'll be a complete mess.
11,307
daddit
I'm hoping this is normal because I've experienced the same thing. You just can't appreciate the love parents have for their child until you have one of your own.
11,308
daddit
Dude. I was literally coming here to say that. My daughter is 7 months old and this punched me right In the feels. Okay shit.
11,309
daddit
I have grown empathy x100 I can’t hear about child abuse anymore without feeling it in my gut. I used to be scared I was a psychopath *shakes head*
11,310
daddit
Same here, it used to take so much to make me cry. Now that I have a daughter I think I cry at things like this as easily as my wife does. Must be a hormone change after having a kid, but I kind of like this new more emotionally open side of me.
11,311
daddit
It’s cause we don’t want to see any of them go through any kind of hardship, ever. The first time another kid makes my kids cry, they’re gonna make me cry too.
11,312
daddit
I probably cried twice in about a decade pre kids. I can now pretty much cry on command, anything bad happening to kids in movies/books/video games destroys me these days. It must be a thing haha.
11,313
daddit
Dude. I cried when watching Homeward Bound at the part where the little girl gets lost in the woods.
11,314
daddit
Haha tell me about it. First few months I used to just stare at my baby daughter and tear up. I was like.... Come on you used to be tough . It passes eventually when your testosterone returns.
11,315
daddit
It's all a matter of perspective. We don't have to have children nowadays, the species can survive, but once you get to help create a life it suddenly roots you in the universe and means you can stop, look, and appreciate the beauty of life.
11,316
daddit
This is me 100%. My son has done so much for me mentally and emotionally that he’ll never understand. I’m a cry baby now and I don’t care.
11,317
daddit
Oh I totally get you. Covid has forced me to be away from my son for a lot longer than my wife and I initially planned and I can literally cry by just seeing a baby
11,318
daddit
I think it's that we gain empathy we didn't have before. You don't realize it was missing until it's suddenly there. Raising a little one makes us think of another person, about their future, their growth, their feelings. That's something we may not have done to the same amount before, and that practice with someone you would do anything for helps extend that empathy to others too.
11,319
daddit
You wrote exactly what I was going to say. Daughters make us so soft for tears, but so damn protective too!
11,320
daddit
It's like this is r/nextfuckinglevel
11,321
daddit
How else do you think kids are made?
11,322
daddit
Looks like a Bumbo seat sitting on a custom platform with wheels.
11,323
daddit
I had help making that ;) the chair on the other hand I did myself
11,324
daddit
Yeh third wheel on the back.
11,325
daddit
A 3rd caster wheel on the backside?
11,326
daddit
Bumboos (the seat part) are pretty wide at the base. Really hard to tip by design.
11,327
daddit
Haha yeh it's already a thing. There is a community of people who have make these for their kids, I put my own touch on this one but there are plenty of different types out there. One dad made one out of timber which looked awesome.
11,328
daddit
I’m not sure you can patent an already (bumbo seat) object but it would be cool if OP could get a billion for their ingenuity Great job OP! Super clever also baby is precious!
11,329
daddit
Yeah, this is a funny little gap. In the UK at least, you can't access the wheelchair service until you've outgrown pushchairs (size and/or age appropriateness) This is amazing, I've worked with lots of kids who have fairly significant mobility problems but are cognitively very able, so they get frustrated at not being able to crawl, cruise or walk.

Sacral agenesis
11,331
daddit
This is gold! I've been trying to think of ways to do this cheaply and this may work
11,332
daddit
Can do, I've got to replace the base cause it didn't last long under her weight but I'll do that after it's done.
11,333
daddit
We can get one for free, my daughter is to small though. This bumbo seat is the smallest you can get. Look up Bella's bumpas, they've been making similar chairs which are donated to kids who need them.
11,334
daddit
Lol she may or may not have scream cried the first few times we sat her in it...
11,335
daddit
Yeh we have the next size up already, will see how she grows.
11,336
daddit
Have you looked into something like this? I know my daughters physio wasn't super impressed I made this but I wanted her to have some independence.
11,337
daddit
how is touching the wheels different than touching the floor when babies crawl? Im not sure there’s a world market for infant wheelchairs tho
11,338
daddit
All good, happy to answer. She's was born with sacral agenesis, her spine finishes at L4. She has no muscle below her knees and limited muscle strength in her thighs. Upper body is fine with no issues. This is a super rare condition and my daughter doesn't even have it that bad, some kids have it way worse.
11,339
daddit
Yeh put it all together myself
11,340
daddit
She's 11 months old, she's just a tiny baby
11,341
daddit
Parenthood unlocks a lot of empathy for the best reasons. Sharing and expressing emotions in front of your kids is very healthy. I never want to be like my parents (aka dad) where crying was for babies or looked down upon as being "girly"; f*ck that nonsense
11,342
daddit
Same here. I can’t even watch movies or shows that have bad things happening to kids. Even bullying, or sad kids on screen.
11,343
daddit
Never! You're being a normal human finally by expressing and experiencing emotions
11,344
daddit
This is me 100 percent.
11,345
daddit
It is totally normal. I hardly ever ever cried, but since I'm a dad I'm welling watching videos like this. And any movie where a kid is having a hard time, I just can't watch it
11,346
daddit
Shut it down, folks. Dad joke of the year has just been won.
11,347
daddit
When a man and a woman are in love...
11,348
daddit
I think the child’s mother may have contributed (a little)
11,349
daddit
I can only speak from my own experience but I think a woman was involved here.
11,350
daddit
Dude...that was good.
11,351
daddit
I mean, maybe the post man did it, we never know...
11,352
daddit
well sometimes the mailman and your wife ....
11,353
daddit
OMG that was perfect
11,354
daddit
That's right, I made this one but if anyone interested you can donate to a company that make them. The company is called Bella's bumps. They use different chairs to the one i used cause by daughter is so tiny
11,355
daddit
That is correct
11,356
daddit
Good call. Have fun!
11,357
daddit
Yeah, but maybe further back then the plexi sheet goes. Babies are pretty top heavy.
11,358
daddit
And the perfect size for a roomba... I would imagine...
11,359
daddit
Well that's great to hear! Good work dude
11,360
daddit
Can you link the timber one?
11,361
daddit
Glad I could help. Add a FPV camera and you can have her tour the whole house.
11,362
daddit
Great to hear she has such a great support system
11,363
daddit
I swear they always do when it’s the stuff that would really benefit them. I wonder if they feel the nervous mood from us! She’s a real cutie btw
11,364
daddit
Very cool! Well done
11,365
daddit
100% agree brotha. It’s alright to show emotion to kids and if anything it helps them mature. At the end of the day people like you that have these conversations are guiding our future generations. Cheers
11,366
daddit
By the same token, I’ve found that it unlocks new vulnerabilities, such as when you as the parent have to stand by and be there for your kid while they are in discomfort or pain. It’s fucking torture (or it feels like it).
11,367
daddit
Same dude. My wife wanted to rewatch criminal minds . Watched a few episodes and i was an anxious mess.
11,368
daddit
PACK IT UP. We’re done here
11,369
daddit
Or bored, or had some drinks, or are watching "Love,. Actually"...
11,370
daddit
We found the spy!
11,371
daddit
Let's not jump to conclusions
11,372
daddit
Does it has a wheel behind the big wheels. Otherwise it looks like it can tip over backwards
11,373
daddit
Absolutely. I fully intend to stop the toxic macho culture I had in my childhood. My first son is just over 2 and I love seeing his emotions. I have another boy on the way and will be doing the same with him. Cheers!
11,374
daddit
I vividly remember times when I just wanted to be held by my mom. I always hope my boys will feel that for me and their mom.
11,375
daddit
Man I had to put parental guidelines on cuz my wife was crying so badly after watching a really bad episode.. it hit me hard so we stopped watching those lol
11,376
daddit
The amount of anxiety I've felt since my son was born was something I wasn't really prepared for either, I grew up in a house where child abuse took place for about 12 years, mainly aimed at my sister but still affecting me as well. I was certain I had dealt with everything from my past but seeing my son and feeling those insanely protective instincts kick in was a ride for sure... From day 1 I was afraid of every future environment I can't secure for him, like kindergarten, dreading the day he'd start there even when he was just weeks old. It's gotten better since I've been able to talk to my wife about it and also talking to our childcare contact (standard contact here in Sweden) about my fears etc,but damn do I still get anxious as I see him grow up and knowing what's out there in the world.
11,377

This is it, this is what this subreddit is all about.
11,378
daddit
Great movie.
11,379
daddit
But I already have this mat I've been working on...
11,380
daddit
There is another wheel at the back to stop it tipping over
11,381
daddit
Congrats man!!! I’m proud to see us dads kicking the old ways
11,382
daddit
Same. Oh kids in this episode? Skip. Oh, those kids become orphans after their parents are brutally murdered? SKIP...
11,383
daddit
Also, hi fellow twin dad (b/b) lol
11,384
daddit
I hear ya man. I grew up in a single parent home until I was 14 when my mom suddenly died. Thankfully after cursing at my father he realized the pain he had caused and we were able to build a relationship for a few months before she died. I fear everyday I’ll die and my boys and wife will be alone (we do have life insurance on both of us). My wife is a stay at home mom so it would turn their worlds upside down in multiple areas of life.
11,385
daddit
good i didnt see it in the video. and it looks like the center of gravity is very close to the big wheels.
11,386
daddit
Lmfao this describes us. Now we just watch survivor and the office
11,387
daddit
Oh shit hi! Haha love finding more twin dads! Drink a beer for me
11,388
daddit
You just can’t worry about that thing. It fucking sucks and if you randomly die yeah it’s gonna be hard. But why worry about something you can’t change? Just enjoy the moment as you can my friend
11,389
daddit
A fun move is closing their bedroom door as they’re still asking questions.
11,390
daddit
Why are you telling me now about your day?!! I've just tucked you into bed!!
11,391
daddit
Memorize this phrase: "That's a great question, let's talk about it tomorrow."
11,392
daddit
"It's time for bed" "No" "That wasn't a question..." (gets ready for an hour long struggle)
11,393
daddit
My kid is only 20 months old. I can see my future and I'm not sure I'm ready.
11,394
daddit
Bedtime, it is. Done, we are. Sweet, the release of death is.
11,395
daddit
This meme pops up in my various feeds fairly regularly, but man is it just right on the money everytime. It never fails to make me laugh either
11,396
daddit
LOL, my daughter and I could lay with each other and talk until the sun comes up. I fall asleep while she’s talking all the time!
11,397
daddit
One time my kid woke up from his nightly slumber to ask me if robots eat hot dogs. Another time i was waiting for him to poop in the public gym. He asked me to come in the stall so he could ask me all sorts of questions about dragonflies. What do they eat, what do they do, when they eat other bugs do they get bigger, do they eat big bugs, etc. he had so many questions about dragonflies that we missed most of the toddler soccer class he was supposed to be participating in.
11,398

My kid had the speech delay. He is better now. And so I start to understand Yoda.
11,399
daddit
My kids go directly to…am I going to die? Mom, you’re old…you’re going to die soon. I don’t want to die. Why do people die? And so on.
11,400
daddit
I'm absolutely looking forward to this, my kid is 4 and doesn't ask me questions, she just wants to tell me everything.
