5,901 | daddit | Stop cutting onions around here man |
5,902 | daddit | Holup, nine year olds Snapchat? I am not ready for this world! |
5,903 | daddit | Crying is healthy. You aren't crying "like a biatch". You need those moments to break down your own personal walls. My only issue with this post is the Nissan comment. |
5,904 | daddit | You're a good man and a great dad. Thank you for sharing this. |
5,905 | daddit | Damn dude, you got me tearing up in the bathroom. No, it’s not from the activity being currently performed. In all seriousness - great job, dad. My fiancée has two little ones - 5 year old girl and 3 year old boy (he turns 4 on Monday). I love these kids as my own, it’s crazy. Their father is still in the picture, and by all comparative means, he’s not a shit head like your girl’s dad is. He takes full advantage of all his visitation rights and loves the kids dearly. Both kids call me by my first name. But sometimes, the 5 year old calls me daddy (“you’re a step daddy, so that makes you daddy”)with this look of adoration... and it kills me. What I’m trying to say is - “daddy” or “first name,” - it doesn’t matter. We know who we are and what our roles should be. Kudos to you, dad. Keep it up! |
5,906 | daddit | Daddying done right! Keep up the good work brother. |
5,907 | daddit | Oh fuck didn't need to start crying at work. Jesus. |

5,909 | daddit | >Any man can be a father, it takes a real man to be a dad. ​ I think someone is cutting onions nearby. |
5,910 | daddit | As a separated Dad who does his best to be there every single time I'm needed, who's driven himself into debt to make sure his son and his Mum don't go without, dicks like that guy just piss me off. ​ >Any man can be a father, it takes a real man to be a dad. Damn right, dude. Be the Dad she needs. |
5,911 | daddit | You're a good man Charlie Brown. Thanks for sharing! |
5,912 | daddit | You're a good dude |
5,913 | daddit | Can we dismantle the r/stepdadreflexes sub? I find it insulting. |
5,914 | daddit | Hell yeah |
5,915 | daddit | I cry weekly. One of the best parts of being a dad :). Nice story and good for you. You are changing a life. |
5,916 | daddit | [deleted] |
5,917 | daddit | This wrecked me in a good way :') |
5,918 | daddit | Good man. Every shitty dad should read this and be ashamed. I don't know you, but I'm proud. |
5,919 | daddit | "She broke down like an old Nissan" I have an old Nissan. It's currently broken down and has been doing so for 2 months give or take. This line hurt. |
5,920 | daddit | I really wish there was a good stepdads sub. Great job! |
5,921 | daddit | God damn it, I'm about to cry at work. Time to go to the bathroom and hide in the stall. ​ Seriously, good for you man, what a beautiful story. You remind me of my father-in-law, who I admire greatly. He married my Mother-in-law after they each had a daughter from previous marriages. I have never once heard him refer to his stepdaughter as "stepdaughter". Every conversation, every FB post, she's always "my daughter" and her kids are his grandkids. Even when she's in a mood and says he's not her dad, he doesn't change his love for her as a daughter, and I have always admired that. ​ So good on you man, you are amazing. |
5,922 | daddit | Nice dadding, dad! |
5,923 | daddit | I've been a step dad for about 20 years now. I know where you are with this and now I'm having a little cry today as well so thanks for that, heh. |
5,924 | daddit | No onions here, this straight up made me ugly cry when I read “it was me” This type of pure post is why we’re here |
5,925 | daddit | Oh my.. definitely not a crier either, however, being a stepdad myself in a similar situation, that hit really hard. It makes my heart happy to read this. Way to go (step)dad! |
5,926 | daddit | Thanks so much for this. I have the pleasure of working with my stepdad and he became my stepdad nearly 17 years ago. My father moved out with his secretary and left my mom to raise 3 kids including myself. We see him a few times a year but he's newly married and made the decision to live on the other side of town from us. I am the great dad that I know I am because of my stepdad. He shows up for his three stepkids, his two kids and his 9 grandkids in total. My son calls him papa and "grandpa" is someone he only sees once or twice a year. My son is in his second year of preschool but its the first time I get to drop him off on Fridays (since my wife always did it last year). Today I dropped him off and said I loved him and I'd see him later. He told me he loved me too, and I could tell he didn't want to kiss me in front of the class. Totally new but okay. I say goodbye to him as I'm leaving and he yells "Hunny" (he's always called me hunny because my wife calls me hunny) so i look back and he holds up to give me a high five. I give him a high five and then he makes a fist and gives me a fist bump. I got it. The kid wanted to tell me he loved me, but still be cool about it in front of the class. |
5,927 | daddit | Man this really hit me, I have a 9yo step daughter and a 3yo daughter. She's always called me dad and I never realised how I just take it for granted. Thank you for sharing this. |
5,928 | daddit | Oh shit this really caught me off guard. I'm misty eyed. Glad to hear she has you and you got to have a surprise like this. |
5,929 | daddit | Legend |
5,930 | daddit | Man, you made me tear up at the office. Good for you brother! |
5,931 | daddit | I was in that situation, about 10 years ago and next year walking her down the aisle. Just remember, she's no longer your step-daughter. She's your daughter now. |
5,932 | daddit | You go daddy! You keep doing your thing! One day she’ll look at a guy and she’ll measure him by the standard she looks up to in you. Thank you for loving that little girl like your own. |
5,933 | daddit | As a grown ass man with a real 'daddy' and a step 'daddy' this absolutely got me. Good for you man. Keep up the good work. |
5,934 | daddit | You’re the dad that STEPPED-up |
5,935 | daddit | You deserved your cry sir. Great tale. x |
5,936 | daddit | Fuck now I'm crying. I'm more or less in the same spot but with an 8 year old boy. He only calls me dad when he is scared, like a bump in the night or something spooky to an 8 year old, but calls me Josh regularly. Doesn't bother me but I do get happy when he calls me dad. Good work man and all the best dad. |
5,937 | daddit | That’s a real solid story :) I’m glad you’re there for her. |
5,938 | daddit | Crushing it. You're a great man. Keep up the good work my man. |
5,939 | daddit | Sometimes there's nothing better and more rewarding than having a little cry. You pick yourself up, blow your nose, clean yourself off, and you go on being tough for everyone else because that's often what they need most from you. |
5,940 | daddit | I love it!! |
5,941 | daddit | I'm going to save this post for my bad days. |
5,942 | daddit | I'm leaking. What is this salty fluid? |
5,943 | daddit | Do you wear a cape? 'cause you da real hero man Keep up the good work. You made me LOL with > broke down like an old Nissan And no truer words have ever been spoken than: > Any man can be a father, it takes a real man to be a dad. |
5,944 | daddit | Step Dad here in a similar situation. I honestly don't think anyone outside our role can really understand the way it feels when the bio dad decided to pop up again after months of no contact. Your situation resonates a lot with me (step son almost 7, bio son 4 months). That is a huge win for you, those "will I ever see my Dad again" conversations are so hard, getting a win like that after such a hard one must have been really overwhelming. |
5,945 | daddit | Indeed. You are daddy. Tremendous gift. |
5,946 | daddit | Somebody’s cutting onions here. Good on you mate |
5,947 | daddit | Making me cry brother. Keep it up, you’re a great dad |
5,948 | daddit | He may have been Her father, but he wasn't her daddy. |
5,949 | daddit | I've got watery eyes, must be the dust or something.. |
5,950 | daddit | This is a beautiful story. Thanks for sharing. |
5,951 | daddit | Got a little dusty in here |
5,952 | daddit | These damn allergies, got my eyes all watering and my nose runnin' |
5,953 | daddit | Now Im crying. As a boy growing up without a good father figure and a man now trying to set an examlle to my son, thsnk you. You are doing it right |
5,954 | daddit | Wow, and now I have to run to the kitchen to cut onions. Go Daddy! go! |
5,955 | daddit | I'm sobbing like a biatch, and I AM a biatch! I'm seriously so happy for you. |
5,956 | daddit | I got chills at the end, good for you being a great dad! |
5,957 | daddit | You are doing an amazing job. Keep it up! |
5,958 | daddit | I imagined a lot of dads like you crying during Guardians of the Galaxy when Yondo said, “He may have been your father boy, but he wasn’t your daddy.” I don’t have any step kids or a step dad, but man, that got me. |
5,959 | daddit | Who's cutting onions in here? |
5,960 | daddit | Keep up the great dadding!!!! |
5,961 | daddit | Fuck yes, man. Dad is not a biological title, but a state of being. Proud of you, Dad. |
5,962 | daddit | Adoptive dad here, hearing my kids call me “Daddy” hits me in the feels. Much love to you, friend. |
5,963 | daddit | Bruh. I'm not even a dad, but I'll she'd a tear for you. Dad is a titled that is earned and given. You earned it. Well done, man. I'm real proud of you. |
5,964 | daddit | I teared up a bit too man, you earned that “daddy” label! |
5,965 | daddit | Damn yo, making us all cry a bit. Good on you man, sounds tough, keep on keeping on! |
5,966 | daddit | Bruh. Respect. |
5,967 | daddit | I cried reading as I relate. Similar story, I started watching after my stepdaughter when she was 2. Dad was never around, her bday is 12/25 and for the last 15 yrs no bday card, Xmas present nothing. I always gave her what she needed. It wasn’t until my daughter was born that she really started calling me dad and getting jealous. I loved it, I got the attention I always wanted and she has received the attention she’s always needed. Never did marry her mom but she’s my girl, my daughter. She’ll be 18 this December...what a trip. Anyhow...cheers fellow dad. You stepped up when everyone stepped out. |
5,968 | daddit | Coming from a place where my dad only existed when it was convenient for him, I always hoped for a step father like you. It’s unfortunate my mom had other preferences in less than stellar quality of men, but I eventually grew up no longer needing it. I feel like I missed out on a lot growing up without a dad, so I use this as motivation to just be there for my little girl. Let her paint your nails, do your hair, and wear the damn crown and tutu if it fits. She is a very lucky girl. |
5,969 | daddit | Not all heroes wear capes |
5,970 | daddit | This was beautiful man, I’m not gonna cry because I’m in a car full of people but imma cry one out for you later. |
5,971 | daddit | Goddamn, that got me a little teary-eyed. Keep fighting the good fight |
5,972 | daddit | God damnit now I’m crying, you are THE daddy cheers to you! |
5,973 | daddit | You must be cutting onions in here or something because now I'm crying too. But seriously, this is precious and I'm so happy for you and your daughters, sounds like they're lucky to have a great dad. Now keep being a good dad! |
5,974 | daddit | Damn who's cutting onions here in the office? Damn ninjas! |
5,975 | daddit | You can be so proud of yourself. A balance act like that isn’t easy and not everyone can do it. That cry was well warranted. Also, it’s incredible that you managed to work with her biological father for so long, no restrictions and nothin. He doesn’t sound like the type to be able to do that... |
5,976 | daddit | This is the best thing Snapchat has ever been associated with. |
5,977 | daddit | Reminds me of this quote from Parenthood You know, Mrs. buckman, you need a license to buy a dog. You need a license to drive a car. Hell, you even need a license to catch a fish. But they'll let any butt-reaming asshole be a father. |
5,978 | daddit | I need to stop chopping onions at work |
5,979 | daddit | This story could be my kids story. My ex sucks as a Dad, and he's hurt and disappointed my kids most of their lives. I was blessed to find a wonderful, loving, and caring man 10 years ago. My kids were 10 and 8, and it was a bit awkward and weird at first getting used to this new dude in their lives. My husband loves my kids fiercely and completely. He listens to them, and they trust him not to hurt their hearts. You rock Dad! |
5,980 | daddit | Now I’ve had a little cry. I’m gonna go hug my girls now. |
5,981 | daddit | That made me choke up a little. I’ve never been a step parent, but I’ve had a shitty one. Keep being awesome. |
5,982 | daddit | So amazing! |
5,983 | daddit | Good on you, man. My son is asleep on me right now, I just hugged him a little tighter. |
5,984 | daddit | :'-) |
5,985 | daddit | If you ever needed confirmation whether you were doing it right, that was it right there! Nice job, bro! |
5,986 | daddit | I am not a father yet, but I come to this sub to learn as I didn’t have that best influence in my life growing up. Posts like this are super awesome! Keep it up man. Now I have to find that water leak that hit me in the face |
5,987 | daddit | I love everything about this, but can we maybe change your simile to "like a new Nissan"? |
5,988 | daddit | You're a good human. Thanks for sharing your story. |
5,989 | daddit | You weren’t crying, and after reading this I’m not crying either. I just cut an onion |
5,990 | daddit | Thank you for loving her when she felt the most unloved. |
5,991 | daddit | As a Step-Son and now a Father, I commend you greatly. Anyone can have a kid but it takes a Man to raise one. My step dad was the meanest asshole growing up. He never gave 2 Shits about me (Things changed though when I was 16). Proud of you OP. |
5,992 | daddit | This is why I love this sub. |
5,993 | daddit | Damn who started cutting onions here?? |
5,994 | daddit | I'm not crying dammit. I have something in my eye. |
5,995 | daddit | Dude you made me tear up just now, Outstanding job Dad! ima go cry now... |
5,996 | daddit | Way to go, man. Any dickhead can be a father. It takes some real work to get to be Daddy. Well done, indeed. |
5,997 | daddit | Beautiful |
5,998 | daddit | Way to go, Dad! And you’re showing her what a real man should act like, which she will hopefully use to chose her partner later in life. |
5,999 | daddit | My man! Legit got me a little choked up. Keep up the good work. You're doing real good in the world right now. And that's kinda rare these days. So, for real, keep it up. |
6,000 | daddit | Wow man. That's amazing. Congratulations. Crying is ok and I think you gave a lot of dads a tear or at least a throat lump. So happy for you. |
