6,315 | daddit | All the best!! |
6,316 | daddit | Welcome, sir. Now please get some rest. |
6,317 | daddit | Welcome fellow father, just remember - you can NEVER repay the incredible work that hero of a woman put in to make you a dad... When doing DIY you HAVE to point the stud finder at yourself and go "Beep!" And don't worry if you burst into tears at adverts containing ANYTHING about fathers and their kids... |
6,318 | daddit | Amazing, congrats! You all will be fantastic |
6,319 | daddit | Lol |
6,320 | daddit | **Can confirm grey hair, and remember you have approval at all times to make the daddest of dad jokes |
6,321 | daddit | Hey, dude, be careful. You're going to make the poor guy go bald! You've got to be specific with that stuff! |

6,329 | daddit | Make sure you get the updated 2023 edition. Our early 2020 issue was worthless. |
6,330 | daddit | Don't forget the hard copy of the warranty the hospital gives you. They don't give you an extra copy and they wont do a thing without the paperwork. |
6,331 | daddit | This one? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1931686238/ (We enjoyed it) |
6,332 | daddit | This is a good one: https://www.amazon.com/Caring-Your-Baby-Young-Child/dp/0553393820/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=9780553393828&linkCode=qs&qid=1681817393&s=books&sr=1-1 |
6,333 | daddit | wait…… they handing out user manuals ?!?! |
6,334 | daddit | Oh, and that reminds me, those little foam earplugs are the best. When the babies are crying, pop them in, and you can carry the little ones around, interact with them, and be the best parent. All because your ears aren't bleeding from the sound, and you're not losing your mind. All they can do is holler louder when their needs aren't met, and the noise made it very tough for me to stay connected and work with the little one to figure it out. My 2 cents, YMMV |
6,335 | daddit | Also, if you like those headphones, keep them in a high, discreet place. |
6,336 | daddit | Although if you keep wearing those, the WILL get confiscated by your little one. Consider switching to in-ears. |
6,337 | daddit | Don’t forget “I have to tell you something….uhhmmmmm….hold on I’m thinking of something” |
6,338 | daddit | More importantly they’ll drown out the blood curdling screams of an infant getting their butt wiped. |
6,339 | daddit | Dad watch this. Watch me, Dad. Dad. Daaaaad. Watch this, Dad. Daaaaaaddyyyyyyyy. (does a small jump) |
6,340 | daddit | After an exasperated WHAT?! The response I get is typically "I love you." Then I feel like a jerk lol |
6,341 | daddit | Mine is "Daddy Daddy Daddy Daddy Daddy Daddy" What? "Daddy Daddy Daddy Daddy Daddy Daddy" |
6,342 | daddit | [deleted] |
6,343 | daddit | How are you doing |
6,344 | daddit | He's not lying... When my daughter hit two I started getting a grey streak in my beard. I haven't even hit 40 yet. |
6,345 | daddit | Fiercely love this kid. Treat your child with kindness and teach them with love and never anger. Be the man who won't take the lazy way out by teaching with fear. Let them feel safe and know you are on their team always. Gratuitously tell them you love them and let your hugs be plentiful for all of their life. Put them first and take joy in it. Give to them before you give to yourself. The reward you have with them at birth will multiply exponentially. Let them find their path as your guidance will make them bold and seek adventure. Praise them in their presence and share your pride. They are you, and the father you always wanted and needed will allow you to heal your past and re-write your future through them. Carry their burdens and allow them an open heart. Enjoy them everyday. |

6,348 | daddit | This is the way. |
6,349 | daddit | And their return policy sucks. |
6,350 | daddit | Dads read instructions now?? I always just toss them aside and dive right in…. |
6,351 | daddit | I’m still wearing them and my kids are 6 & 4. It’s mostly because they, and my husband all snore |
6,352 | daddit | Good advice, i did the same. Ear muffs for the bathroom where the screaming echoes made it worse |
6,353 | daddit | [Earmuffs on!](https://thumbs.gfycat.com/OrdinaryTestyBushbaby-size_restricted.gif) |
6,354 | daddit | You can get personalized ones for about 100€ reach around here. Got them with my second kid. No squishing, easy to clean, no foam but rubbery. An investment for the rest of your life. Protect year hearing, dads! |
6,355 | daddit | Loop earplugs were and still are a lifesaver |
6,356 | daddit | That's actually so adorable lol. Kid just loves you so much he's tryna think of something to talk to you about even when you haven't been apart a minute. |
6,357 | daddit | I get that one too, and same. |
6,358 | daddit | I've been a stay at home, work from home, full-time caregiving dad since day one. We're three and a half years in. I'm allowed to use humor as a defense mechanism. |
6,359 | daddit | Livin the dream |
6,360 | daddit | My hair has now grayed yet but my shoulders and back have gotten hairier. |
6,361 | daddit | No joke, I went salt and pepper right when my son was born... right at the beginning of the pandemic. |
6,362 | daddit | Same. 33 this year. Mines 2.5 lol |
6,363 | daddit | Dude, I’m 34, my beard hasn’t even filled in and greys are coming in aplenty. |
6,364 | daddit | Yep. And now that I have a second little one, the progression of gray/white hair takeover especially in my beard is at an all time high. |
6,365 | daddit | Seriously… I got grays in my beard and eye brows now and I’m not 40 yet either |
6,366 | daddit | >He's not lying... When my daughter hit two I started getting a grey streak in my beard. I haven't even hit 40 yet. [Devil May Cry 5 - The Dante Dance](https://youtu.be/CV9LyYzLUyQ) Personally, I am planning to never Colour my hair.... |
6,367 | daddit | My mom likes to make the comment EVERY time she sees me how grey my hair's gotten. I actually don't mind though. I find that the greyer my hair is, the better my dad jokes become. |
6,368 | daddit | I've been going grey since the ripe old age of 18. |
6,369 | daddit | I'm 35 with a 5 year old. My temples are graying by the day. It probably goes without saying, I didn't have a single gray before my 30th birthday. |
6,370 | daddit | What good advice. Also, teach them to believe in God who also loves them. |

6,372 | daddit | My girl’s 2 1/2 and she’ll repeat things 1,000,000 times regardless of how I respond to her. “I want a brownie. I want a brownie. I want a brownie. I want a brownie. I want a brownie. I want a brownie. I want a brownie. I want a brownie….” I need those earplugs. |
6,373 | daddit | That and they’re trying to stall going to bed |
6,374 | daddit | Speaking of mystical creatures... teach them to believe in the tooth fairy and santa well into adulthood. |
6,375 | daddit | 100% |
6,376 | daddit | Best I can do is give me a brownie. |
6,377 | daddit | She's at that age when she doesn't know what a brownie is, or what I want a is. But the noises get mum and dad's attention and that's good enough! |
6,378 | daddit | The most predictable reddit comment ever. Any mention of God and the neckbeards come out of the woodworks lol. |
6,379 | daddit | I know but I respect and love him any way and sorry that he doesn't believe. We all make a decision about God and He doesn't force us to believe. However, it has worked out well for me all of my 85 years. Hope for you too. |
6,380 | daddit | It's god with a small g. There's lots and lots of gods. |
6,381 | daddit | It has, and it’s inspiring to hear you holding strong in your faith over your long life. God Bless! |
6,382 | daddit | Bless your heart. |
6,383 | daddit | My family has endured lots of serious health issues over the years but believing and trusting God through them all has helped to sustain us. My wife recently passed away and I'm having to learn to live alone after 65 years of a happy marriage. I am even learning to cook. lol Fortunately I still work because I like what I do and like the people I work with. Hopefully, this is an encouragement to you and others. So much fun talking back and forth with you. |
6,384 | daddit | Well done. A kid like that isn't a product of luck, but of love and commitment. |
6,385 | daddit | Also, here's a speech he gave to his English class last year, about being a foster child. It was the first time his classmates knew that he had once been a foster child. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWtd1wPaOcE |
6,386 | daddit | awesome. we started the licensing for foster care yesterday. thanks for the positive shots. |
6,387 | daddit | [deleted] |
6,388 | daddit | He looks like a great kid, and looks like you did a good job bringing him up. As an adopted child myself, I'm curious about the circumstances of his adoption. |
6,389 | daddit | This is good to see this turned out so well. My wife and I are having a hard time getting pregnant and might be in this situation soon. On a side note, your son and I both love subwoofers. Lol. I have 2 8" kicker subs I want to give to him for his truck. If he wants them, pm me your address and I'll send them your way. |
6,390 | daddit | Your son is so handsome! He looks very happy and loved in these pictures. I was thinking of being a foster parent sometime in my future. My grandmother was a foster parent and my Uncle is adopted. I like seeing stories of children who found parents to love them as much as you do your son. |
6,391 | daddit | Tears at the Michael Oher pic. This is a great uplifting album. I can't wait to get home and see my daughter. |
6,392 | daddit | I hate to be that guy, but make him wear a helmet when he's on a board. |
6,393 | daddit | Really great album. It's easy to tell that you love your son immensely. Congrats to you, him, the whole family - and thanks for sharing. |
6,394 | daddit | Making me cry man. My son just turned one and seeing these pics is inspiring for a new father. Hope I can have a fraction of the impact you seemed to have on your boy. |
6,395 | daddit | It was wonderful seeing your son through your eyes. I should really take more photos of my 9 year old. |
6,396 | daddit | i swear i have seen some of those pics before... at least the track ones not sure where, i know it was reddit, but the sub..... my guess might be /r/fitness or something |
6,397 | daddit | Disclaimer. If the answer is "that's none of your business", I totally respect that. I've been thinking, in the last few years, that a foster kid might be exactly what my house needs when my kids start to move out in a few years. What scares me is that I wouldn't have them in the first 5 years of their life when so much 'progress' is made as to their personality and the way they deal with adversity (real or imagined). Not to say that all my kids are perfect (although that's what I tell people ;) Weren't you worried about his 'personality' at all? Do you get a real sense of what the kid is like before you bring them home? Regardless of what your son's actual life was like before he became yours, I would imagine that he has alot, of really valid, reasons to 'act out'. I'm really curious as to the transition that took place when he came 'home'.. I would imagine that you never considered putting him back in foster care, but that would be something that he was constantly 'aware' of. I can't help but think that you both got lucky when he decided to burn out all that teenage angst on the track :) Really cool post. |

6,399 | daddit | This is fantastic! I was also in "the system" in Kansas in the '70s. After my brother and I were removed from my mother's home (for various forms of abuse), we spent time at an orphanage, then went to separate foster homes. We lived with our foster parents for about 6 months before my father was able to receive emergency reassignment in the military so he could come home and take full custody of us (my parents were divorced and he was stationed in Turkey.) It was a tough year for us (tougher on my brother than on me - he was a bit older and had a better grasp on what was going on), but we made it through, and are both somewhat successful adults. All credit for that goes to my dad! Anyway, I have some idea of what your son has gone through, so thanks for being a foster, and adoptive parent. You are a great human being, and help make the world a better place. |
