2,501	daddit	I can't wait to be a dad, just gotta figure out that whole wife thing first.
2,502	daddit	[deleted]
2,503	daddit	How exactly does one remove a pierced ear... sounds painful. Edit- removed personal opinion
2,504	daddit	My BMW never melted my heart with an i love you, daddy.
2,505	daddit	Cheers!
2,506	daddit	When I was a teenager I would sleep 15 hours/day on weekends due to what I know now was debilitating depression. But hey my parent's must've been stoked
2,507	daddit	lol...yeah my wife ain't doing that shit. I wish though. She's frustrating to co-parent with sometimes as she's a huge push over. I'm going to be the bad guy as she grows up but I'm fine with that.
2,508	daddit	It was more like so she can wear earrings.. and it hurts to pierce ears more later on when they're older.
2,509	daddit	[deleted]
2,510	daddit	[deleted]
2,511	daddit	I've got this round. Cheers. And for those that don't like beer.
2,512	daddit	I see. So if you have another kid, just have her read Baby Wise, a book on Amazon. It's a real game changer man. Basically it'll help her realize that you don't need to be a pushover for everything, and if you don't your kid will be better off for it in the end. But yeah, sleep was way too important to both of us to not figure something out. And it has worked for all our little girls now :) Good luck brother!!
2,513	daddit	To be fair, I'm a girl whose mother had my ears pierced as a baby and I can go years without wearing earrings, but the holes never close up. I'm not a big jewelry person, so if they were ever going to close, they would have a loooong time ago.
2,514	daddit	If you're so secure in your decisions then why the hell are you trolling /r/daddit? Do your thing then. Here's a tip, if you plan on being more happy than me, you're gonna have to start by not having the desire to shit on other people's life choices. Happy people don't do that.
2,515	daddit	I tried getting my wife to read a book like that. She just points to other books who say you are torturing your children by doing so. My result is a almost 3 year old who needs an hour to be put down then crawls in our bed around 2am every night. Poor thing maybe gets 11 hours of sleep a day this way. We are having another in september. I hope she's willing to experiment on this one..... save me.
2,516	daddit	Hi, do you recall the author of that book? I'm finding a few variations of "baby wise" on Amazon.. is it the one by Rachel Fitz?
2,517	daddit	I pierced mine as an awkward teen and they have never "sealed" back up.
2,518	daddit	Yup. Went through the same exact thing with my wife. Then reasoned with her to let us try it for a week or two. And lo and behold, it worked perfectly. Not saying it'll work for everyone of course. But man, had we not tried it would have been infinitely worse for everyone involved. Be as honest as you can, and act with as much love as possible. You are an equal portion of a parent as she is. Maybe try not having her read the book, you read it and learn from it, then present the simple idea I suggested above. Or present a variation that might work better for your family. 15 minutes of crying a night for infants. That's it. I think the book eventually suggests up to 45 minutes I believe after a certain amount of time. But yeah, we didn't want to do that. So we planned out something lesser to try, and have had years of great sleeping for our 2 girls since.
2,519	daddit	Hey! Yeah it has kinda become a series, but that is just someone piggy backing if its success. Here are the originals. [Here is the one for infants](https://www.amazon.com/dp/1932740139/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_JZmKybGDR5M2G) [Here is 5-12 months](https://www.amazon.com/dp/1932740155/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Q0mKybSEABJNX) I can sum up one of the most important principles for you if you don't want to buy them. Though I highly suggest you do. At around 5-6 weeks you allow your baby to cry it out for 15 minutes max. After that you can go in and comfort the baby. This is mostly for the mother, as it is hard for the mom to do this. Then every night you will eventually watch that 15 minutes of screaming drop to 12, then 10, then 5. Then only a minute. This same principle then applies for older kids as they grow up and more challenges arise, like toddlers who won't stay in bed. In our experience we had to allow for them to cry and learn that they can do it and it will be ok. Eventually allowing for themselves to calm down and sleep.
2,520	daddit	Today I said bye to my oldest son. It was five years more than the doctors thought we would have. Five beautiful, blessed years that I will never forget Edit: thank you so much for all the kind words Reddit. My son was an old soul. He lived to stay home, play in his bedroom, and watch his movies. He lived animals. This past summer we traveled to many zoos and aquariums to give him one last summer of fun and to give us memories that would last a lifetime. While you all are strangers, I feel love and comfort knowing I am not alone. If you feel compelled to help in any way, please make a donation to The Mighty Oakes Heart Foundation, Ronal McDonald House Charities, Make-A-Wish, or Children's miracle Network. Make a wish Kansas and Ronald McDonald House Kansas city specifically but in your area is great as well! These organizations helped us out in so many ways.
2,521	daddit	My heart aches at your situation. I can't begin to imagine what you're going through. Hugs to you and your family. I'm terribly sorry for you loss. Can you please tell me memories you have of him? I'd love to know.
2,522	daddit	I know this had to be hard to share. But thank you so much. Your heart is aching and mine aches for you. I will hold my girls closer today because of you. I will keep you and your oldest in my thoughts today.
2,523	daddit	If it's any solice, remember that even though your child was only around for a short time, he knew love.
2,524	daddit	I'm so sorry for your loss. As difficult as it will be, take some time to write down things about your son. Write down memories. Write down little quirks. Write down likes and dislikes. Write down anything and everything you can think of that reminds you of him. Do this as often as you can. Don't let those memories fade. Again, I'm so very sorry for your loss. Stay strong.
2,525	daddit	Beautiful picture. He looks like he was a happy boy. I will give my girl an extra hug for you. Here's to happy days ahead
2,526	daddit	My sincere condolences...do you mind me asking what condition he had? I only ask because we will inevitably be in the same position as you with our daughter in the next couple of years. She's only 6 months old.
2,527	daddit	I'm gonna give my son a big hug now.
2,528	daddit	Internet hugs transfered your way brother. So sorry.
2,529	daddit	Father in a similar boat. Every day is one more than the doctor's expected. Sorry for your loss.
2,530	daddit	I wasn't planning on crying today, but here we are. I'm so sorry for your loss.
2,531	daddit	There's not hardly a father here, myself included, with dry eyes... Being a father it's impossible not to instantly empathize, even if I really can't imagine what your really going through... I'm so sorry for your loss.
2,532	daddit	as a RT and father of 2, I'm truly sorry for your loss. I can not work with kids because I feel like breaking down so much after my shift.
2,533	daddit	Everyday is a gift, live and love it to the fullest and best of your abilities!
2,534	daddit	I'm sorry for your loss buddy. Stay strong.
2,535	daddit	I'm sorry. That's a pain no one should ever have. I'm thankful that you had an extra five years. You'll be in my family's thoughts and prayers today
2,536	daddit	It's 1am as I read this in bed on my phone, I got out of bed and went in and gave both my kids a hug and kiss. Thank you for your post it really puts things into perspective. Love and happiness in the future for you and your family.
2,537	daddit	I hug you and am so grateful he had you.
2,538	daddit	I'm so sorry.
2,539	daddit	I am so sorry. That's impossible to comprehend. Strength and positive thoughts from me, a random person to you.
2,540	daddit	God bless ur precious Son and God bless you and ur family.
2,541	daddit	A big part of me wants to honor you and your loss by saying something about it... but I honestly don't know what to say. And if I did, I'm pretty sure you will have heard it already. I'm so sorry and my heart feels you. Instead, I will simply promise that I'll hold my daughters close and cherish them always.
2,542	daddit	I don't have kids, but I gave my pet some lovins. So sorry for your loss bro. Stay strong
2,543	daddit	<3
2,544	daddit	Don't know you. Don't know exactly what you're going through. But I can sure as hell guess. I'm sitting here shedding a couple of tears for you, your family and your little boy. I'm so sorry, man. Thank you for sharing this amazing snapshot into the life of your awesome little dude.
2,545	daddit	I am reading this post with my 4 year old son sleeping on my chest. So sorry for your loss.
2,546	daddit	I'm so terribly sorry sir. Breaks my heart. He will live on in your hearts. Vaya con Dios.
2,547	daddit	Hey man I'm just a random redditor but I wanted to tell you I love you! I can't imagine, but please stay strong!
2,548	daddit	I'm in my boys room 6 and 2....this is my worst fear. Losing one or both. Stay strong.
2,549	daddit	I'm a son, but I am going to hug my dad extra tight tonight. I cannot begin to comprehend what you are going through. I am so sorry.
2,550	daddit	Lots of love buddy. I wish your heart ease. I am sure your little one is in good hands above. As a father of a three year old who's son had been sedated for two years due to brain damaging seizures, I want to say that I feel your pain, but I know yours is a lot more. I will hug him for you tonight. Stay strong.
2,551	daddit	in 2 weeks it will be 1 year since my son passed away, he was 3 months old. SIDS is a bitch, I feel your pain... Stay strong. Its not something I would wish on my worst enemy, but an unfortunate reality for more than it should be. I have his footprint tattooed on my wrist facing outward as a daily reminder to always keep moving forward.
2,552	daddit	One NICU dad to what I pressume is another; I'm so sorry. Lean on those around you and try to take care of yourselves.
2,553	daddit	Hope you still have a happy Thanksgiving dude. He's a good looking kid.
2,554	daddit	What an amazingly beautiful picture. Thanks. God bless
2,555	daddit	I am very sorry for your loss, brother.
2,556	daddit	What a beautiful smile. Rest in peace little guy.
2,557	daddit	I'm sorry for your loss, but so happy got that extra time. Nothing I could say can ease the hurt, but as others have said, say strong and always remember the good days.
2,558	daddit	I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the pain you and your family are going through. For whatever it's worth, know that you and yours are in my thoughts today.
2,559	daddit	Hey, man. I'm thinking about you today. I did hug my kids after I read this and looked through your post history. You are a badass dad. I think you're awesome.
2,560	daddit	Nothing I say can comfort you and your family right now. Just know that I'm sorry for your loss, and will keep him and the rest of your family in my prayers.
2,561	daddit	This users comment history has been overwritten by an automated script because of reasons. Deal.
2,562	daddit	Be well. <hug>
2,563	daddit	My heart goes out to you tonight, I would hope in this time of sorrow that there would be some ray of light somewhere that would let you know there is hope in this hopeless time.
2,564	daddit	I'm really sorry. I'm glad you got a chance to spend time with him, though that time was short. I hope it's some small comfort knowing you gave him a chance to experience happiness and love. That was probably far from a given when he was born.
2,565	daddit	My deepest condolences. If you need another dad to listen or talk to, I'm here for you. My heart is out to you, brother.
2,566	daddit	Very sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and yours.
2,567	daddit	I'm sorry for your loss and keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
2,568	daddit	He looks so happy in this picture. Thank you for sharing.
2,569	daddit	I'm going to leave work early today and take my son to the park. Thank you OP for reminding me of the important things in life. I'm very sorry for your loss.
2,570	daddit	I'm so sorry. Hugs.
2,571	daddit	I'm sorry.
2,572	daddit	Love will keep you bound forever. It is painful. And worthwhile. I will do as you asked.
2,573	daddit	My condolences. May God keep watch on your son until you are reunited.
2,574	daddit	I will.
2,575	daddit	I've wondered a few times what my life would be like without my 4 year old and I always come up blank... No doubt this will be buried in a mound of support but I wish you and your family the best, and am terribly sorry for your loss.
2,576	daddit	Praying for you and yours. Proverbs 3:5
2,577	daddit	Beautiful boy. I'm sorry for your loss.
2,578	daddit	Nothing in the world means to us so much like our children do. Grieve as much as you need and be strong for your other sons and your spouse. I am truly sorry.
2,579	daddit	Can't imagine your grief. We're all thinking of you.
2,580	daddit	So sorry for your loss. He looks like nothing phased him, it's always the ones who get dealt the worst hands that have the best outlook on life and make those around them happiest.
2,581	daddit	Sorry for your loss.
2,582	daddit	Stay strong OP. He looks like he was a great person.
2,583	daddit	I am so sorry for the loss you and your family has experienced. He looked like such a happy, wonderful boy. He was blessed to have 5 years with people who loved him so much. My thoughts go out to your family.
2,584	daddit	I'm so sorry for your loss. He looks like a little dude in the photo. Stay strong, brother.
2,585	daddit	Wow. He looks like such a cheerful little chap. Can you tell me more about him? I'm sorry you lost him mate. He's lucky he had such a great Dad.
2,586	daddit	vaya con dios......so very sorry for your loss OP. as many other dads have said it, stay strong. reading the many responses you posted here too, you are a stand up guy. thank you for sharing the picture of your sweet son. your son now is among the stars. i'll hug my little homie a bit extra more for ya. big big hugs
2,587	daddit	I'm so sorry. So sorry. His smile in that photo says a thousand words, that he was happy and loved.
2,588	daddit	Truly sorry for your loss, OP. What a beautiful little boy.
2,589	daddit	I'm very sorry. He looks like he was a really happy little dude. Must have had some really loving parents.
2,590	daddit	He looks happy
2,591	daddit	Goddamn man
2,592	daddit	So sorry, Man. Can't imagine the the magnitude of what you're feeling. Someone once told me that while it doesn't get easier, your ability to cope will strengthen. In any case your sorrow honours you both. Never be ashamed of it or if it's expression. He looks like a happy guy in this pic and I'm sure you made the most of your time together. He was lucky to have such a loving parent. I will hug my kids extra today.
2,593	daddit	So sorry for your loss, absolutely devastating I can imagine. I'm glad you had an extra 5 years with him, he looked like he loved every minute of it as much as you did.
2,594	daddit	I already tucked them in, but damn if I don't want to go do it again now. I'm so sorry for your loss.
2,595	daddit	You are in my thoughts.
2,596	daddit	May he rest in peace. He looked like a very happy kid. With a smile like that, I'm sure that you were a great dad to him, and that he loved every moment of being with you.
2,597	daddit	I'm so sorry for your loss. Right now, my son is wondering why I'm holding him so tight with tears in my eyes. I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through.
2,598	daddit	much love. stay strong.
2,599	daddit	I'm so sorry for your loss
2,600	daddit	Tell us about him if you're up to it. What was he like? What were his favorite things? What do you never want to forget ever? I'm so sorry you've lost him. What did he leave you that's going to carry on?

As a father of a three year old who's son had been sedated for two years due to brain damaging seizures, I want to say that I feel your pain, but I know yours is a lot more. I will hug him for you tonight. Stay strong.

in 2 weeks it will be 1 year since my son passed away, he was 3 months old. SIDS is a bitch, I feel your pain... Stay strong. Its not something I would wish on my worst enemy, but an unfortunate reality for more than it should be. I have his footprint tattooed on my wrist facing outward as a daily reminder to always keep moving forward.

I'm sorry for your loss, but so happy got that extra time. Nothing I could say can ease the hurt, but as others have said, say strong and always remember the good days.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the pain you and your family are going through. For whatever it's worth, know that you and yours are in my thoughts today.

Hey, man. I'm thinking about you today. I did hug my kids after I read this and looked through your post history. You are a badass dad. I think you're awesome.

My heart goes out to you tonight, I would hope in this time of sorrow that there would be some ray of light somewhere that would let you know there is hope in this hopeless time.

2,564

daddit

I'm really sorry. I'm glad you got a chance to spend time with him, though that time was short. I hope it's some small comfort knowing you gave him a chance to experience happiness and love. That was probably far from a given when he was born.

2,565

daddit

My deepest condolences. If you need another dad to listen or talk to, I'm here for you. My heart is out to you, brother.

2,566

Very sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and yours.

Love will keep you bound forever. It is painful. And worthwhile. I will do as you asked.

2,573

daddit

My condolences. May God keep watch on your son until you are reunited.

2,574

daddit

I will.

2,575

daddit

I've wondered a few times what my life would be like without my 4 year old and I always come up blank... No doubt this will be buried in a mound of support but I wish you and your family the best, and am terribly sorry for your loss.

Beautiful boy. I'm sorry for your loss.

2,578

daddit

Nothing in the world means to us so much like our children do. Grieve as much as you need and be strong for your other sons and your spouse. I am truly sorry.

2,579

daddit

Can't imagine your grief. We're all thinking of you.

2,580

daddit

So sorry for your loss. He looks like nothing phased him, it's always the ones who get dealt the worst hands that have the best outlook on life and make those around them happiest.

2,581

daddit

Sorry for your loss.

2,582

daddit

Stay strong OP. He looks like he was a great person.

2,583

daddit

I am so sorry for the loss you and your family has experienced. He looked like such a happy, wonderful boy. He was blessed to have 5 years with people who loved him so much. My thoughts go out to your family.

2,584

daddit

I'm so sorry for your loss. He looks like a little dude in the photo. Stay strong, brother.

2,585

daddit

He looks happy

2,591

daddit

Goddamn man

2,592

daddit

So sorry, Man. Can't imagine the the magnitude of what you're feeling. Someone once told me that while it doesn't get easier, your ability to cope will strengthen. In any case your sorrow honours you both. Never be ashamed of it or if it's expression. He looks like a happy guy in this pic and I'm sure you made the most of your time together. He was lucky to have such a loving parent. I will hug my kids extra today.

2,593

daddit

So sorry for your loss, absolutely devastating I can imagine. I'm glad you had an extra 5 years with him, he looked like he loved every minute of it as much as you did.

2,594

daddit

I already tucked them in, but damn if I don't want to go do it again now. I'm so sorry for your loss.

2,595

daddit

You are in my thoughts.

2,596

daddit

May he rest in peace. He looked like a very happy kid. With a smile like that, I'm sure that you were a great dad to him, and that he loved every moment of being with you.

2,597

daddit

I'm so sorry for your loss. Right now, my son is wondering why I'm holding him so tight with tears in my eyes. I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through.

2,598

Tell us about him if you're up to it. What was he like? What were his favorite things? What do you never want to forget ever? I'm so sorry you've lost him. What did he leave you that's going to carry on?
