>daycare is priced so it's barely worthwhile to work (at every tier) This certainly does not apply at every tier of income.
9,202
daddit
Yeah that's a serious money pit. Praise the omnissiah
9,203
daddit
If you're already paying 60k a year for daycare, the cost of living in your area is high enough to warrant them charging you that much for after school activities and things like that, in my area I pay 12k a year for daycare and things that she already wants to do for after school activities are already starting to add up so it's entirely possible.

Perhaps they could be but in reality they aren’t and I imagine you don’t stand on principle and refuse to go anywhere until a train gets built.
9,206
daddit
Bro, why you trying to pick an internet fight on a dad sub? Go touch grass.
9,207
daddit
For the fat part of the bell curve it absolutely does. Your household makes $50k, you live in some rural town, you pay $700/mo for a sketchy daycare. Your household makes $300k, you live in a high COL area, you pay $3000 for a nice boutique daycare. Even at the extreme end, you make $1M+ per year you have an imported nanny, maid service, coaches, and tutors and pay proportionally similar.

Demanding clean indoor air, like we demand of our water systems would be an EXCELLENT start.
9,209

Gas, meet light lol.

That’s the most adorable and sad thing. I am so sorry for your loss. Keep being an amazing dad.

daddit
A favourite book for my kids is “The Invisible String.” If you have not read it to her, she may like it. Same idea. Says our hearts are connected to those we love by an invisible string. Sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine having to raise my children without their mother. Thanks for being a great dad.
9,212
daddit
What a beautiful sentiment. I would actually consider getting it tattooed. Keep being a great dad!
9,213
daddit
You are an inspiring father and an amazing dad!
9,214
daddit
This is really sweet and I’m sorry for your loss. I don’t know if this is something you’d be interested in but there are bracelets you can buy that are meant for couples but it lets you touch one and it causes the other to vibrate to let the other person know you’re thinking about them.
9,215
daddit
Remind me of the book “The Kissing Hand.” What an adorable way to support each other. Sorry for your loss
9,216
daddit
I love this so much. My wife died about 8 months ago so I'm raising our now 2 year old son without her. Much love and respect from one single dad/widower to another.
9,217
daddit
What a lovely gesture and idea by the teacher. Respect to you for remaining strong for your daughter! I can't imaginehow hard that must be at times.
9,218
daddit
Thought you were going to catch me at work, huh? Well, I checked this *before* getting to work, so now *no one* saw me suddenly well up and start furiously scrubbing at my eyes. Consider your plans foiled, sir.
9,219
daddit
My condolences sir, and all the best.
9,220
daddit
This post weighs a ton. Very sorry for your loss, I’m glad that her teacher is so supportive.
9,221
daddit
Dude, I'm drawing a little pink heart on my hand now too. If you need a hug let me know and I'll press it.
9,222
daddit
So sorry for your loss and gold star for the teacher. Keep on keeping on.
9,223
daddit
You're doing it right. Well done, Dad.
9,224
daddit
Well I'm crying. Sorry for your loss. You sound like a great dad!
9,225
daddit
That is a great idea.
9,226
daddit
I’m sorry for your loss.
9,227
daddit
What a fantastic tattoo idea! I’m sure you daughter appreciates it brother. Keep up the solid dadding!
9,228
daddit
That’s an incredibly kind and, frankly, genius approach to offering support.
9,229
daddit
press, press, press, press
9,230
daddit
Fuck, that hits right in the feels... you're super dad, my dude!
9,231
daddit
So who brought the onion
9,232
daddit
Get it tattooed. Keep being an awesome dad.
9,233
daddit
Im sure you hear this a lot, but from one dad to another: You are never alone. If you ever need an ear, please do not hesitate to send me a pm. I will send you my number and we can talk.
9,234
daddit
Hey dude I’m so sorry for your loss. When my partner of 3yrs died in 2018 I just completely stopped functioning for a long while. It’ll be 18 months in November and although I can see I’ve made progress I still have a ways to continue on my journey. I have no idea how you have managed to keep yourself together to continue to bring up your daughter. I doff my cap to you. We both played a sport where fallen (injured/retired) players were honoured by their team writing the missing player’s squad number on themselves for the next match. About a month after she passed I had her squad number tattooed on my leg. Anyway idk where I’m going with this other than to express my sincere condolences, agree with you on the tattoo idea and to say if you ever need to let stuff out to an anon who understands, just drop me a PM. Peace.
9,235
daddit
I'm at work, why you trying to make me cry?
9,236
daddit
Welp. Now I know my tear ducts are still working...
9,237
daddit
That is just perfect. I'm sorry for the loss of your wife and happy you have a close connection to your daughter. It's really special.
9,238
daddit
I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot even empathize with your emotions. Best of luck.
9,239
daddit
Sorry for your loss brother... sounds like a good idea for a tattoo when she no longer needs it drawn everyday.
9,240
daddit
This is amazing and awesome. You're a super dad, and that teacher deserves everything good too!
9,241
daddit
That's the sweetest thing.
9,242

9,244
daddit

9,245
daddit
Get a heart tattoo
9,246
daddit
This might be a bit much but you could get a laminated heart for her mum and place it at her place of burial in a different colour. I’m sorry for your loss OP and for your daughter, I hope you guys are doing well for yourselves.
9,247
daddit
What a beautiful idea
9,248
daddit
Annnnd now I’m crying... who’s cutting onions!!!??
9,249
daddit
Well I'm crying. That's beautiful.
9,250
daddit
I would tattoo something sweet like this :)
9,251
daddit
Goddamn onion-cutting ninjas are everywhere. Condolences my man, keep being the awesome dad you are
9,252
daddit
Honestly losing my wife is one of my worst fears... I’m sure you and your daughter will always have a close and fantastic relationship!
9,253
daddit
And here I am crying at the gym. Good on you, I'm sorry for your loss.
9,254
daddit
Now I'm tearing up standing in the lunch room at my office. Nice job dad!
9,255
daddit
I’m looking kind of weird here in the Lowe’s parking lot
9,256
daddit
That’s awesome of you! We do the “Kissing Hand” where we each kiss each other’s palm and we can bring it to our face anytime we need some love. They read the book on one of he first days of school. Edited to add I am truly sorry about your loss.
9,257
daddit
So sorry for your loss man, you are living my worst nightmare. Thanks for being a good dad. I'll keep you and your daughter in my prayers.
9,258
daddit
Anything we can do to help you out?
9,259
daddit
I am sorry for your loss. You are living my greatest fear.
9,260
daddit
Keep being awesome man! I know it's hard but as she gets older she will remember these times and love you for them.
9,261
daddit
Who's the wiseguy cutting all the onions? Keep wiping my eyes while reading this... Damned onions.
9,262
daddit
This is so cute, my goodness!
9,263
daddit
Who’s chopping onions in here? This is the sweetest thing and I’m so sorry for your loss.
9,264
daddit
I don't know how I'd make it without my wife. I am so sorry for your loss especially your little girls. But you are obviously making it work the best you can kudos to you! And the strong woman your little girl will become!
9,265
daddit
You sound like the dad I want to be. I'm sorry for your loss and keep being the hero you kid deserves.
9,266
daddit
My dad passed away when I was seven, and I can tell you from experience that gestures Iike this will be the thing that keeps your girl going when she's older. You're an amazing father, and she's lucky to have you. _press_
9,267
daddit
I’m not crying, YOU’RE CRYING!
9,268
daddit
My BIL and SIL have a kid with autism; we bought them matching bracelets that every member of the family will have so that whenever they look at the bracelet it will remind them of each other (mostly for the kid) and theoretically help with any issues that may be happening while they are apart. I don't know if something like that would be good too? Sorry to hear about your loss, sending some thoughts your way. Keep up the good work!
9,269
daddit
From one Dad to another, I second this wonderful comment! What a wonderful teacher as well, I’d feel good knowing she’s in pretty safe hands every day
9,270
daddit
This. Also, future father daughter tattoos!
9,271
daddit
I think we have that book, it's beautiful.
9,272
daddit
This. I don't have any tattoos, but for my kids, if it helped them, even by the smallest way, I'd do it in a heart beat. I'd also do it for myself. 10 years from now when they're an angsty teenager and don't want to have anything to do with me I'd know I can always send them a hug last thing at night.
9,273
daddit
I'm starting to think that more and more now.
9,274
daddit
I was just about to say this. Would be a perfect tribute.
9,275
daddit
That's very kind of you to say it doesn't feel like that but I'm sure all dad's feel the same.
9,276
daddit
Really? I've never heard of that before but it sounds like a wonderful idea. Do you know what they are called?
9,277
daddit
I'll have a look for that one, thanks.
9,278
daddit
Came here to say this. We got a copy from the library I think.
9,279
daddit
my poor man :'(
9,280
daddit
Man I'm so sorry you both had to experience this. Keep up the good work.
9,281
daddit
Press it for me... Would love a hug from the fat old sun.
9,282
daddit
You are awesome. Genuine warm smile from me on reading that.
9,283
daddit
Cheers mate, I'm very lucky that she has such great teachers.
9,284
daddit
Thanks, I fail like all dads but the love is never, ever in doubt. XXX
9,285
daddit
I’m pressing the button to send a hug to you. I’m so very sorry for your loss.
9,286
daddit
Wait till she's 6 at least.
9,287
daddit
I thought the same thing!
9,288
daddit
The Kissing Hand is a good book too.
9,289
daddit
The ultimate dad troll! Haha. “I hate you dad! You’re ruining my life!!” *door slams!! *Pushes palm. “Haha” Hmmm... maybe I’ll look into this actually Edit: adjusted spacing for clarity.
9,290
daddit
Oldest is 13, the struggle is very real
9,291
daddit
Bear in mind that it'll also remind you of your wife; it might be hard to think about her every time you wash your hands. In theory it should still transmit hugs if tattooed elsewhere.
9,292
daddit
Get the outline and than you can color it in... Or write something in there.
9,293
daddit
I feel like the ritual of drawing the heart is part of its therapeutic value
9,294
daddit
I feel like the worst dad ever daily yet manage to get a smile from my daughter at the sound of my voice :) we’ll be fine on that front
9,295
daddit
Bad dads dont think about it.
9,296
daddit
I’m sure there’s more brands but the ones I’m aware of are called Bond Touch and I think Hey!
9,297
daddit
Came here to recommend this. It's a wonderful book and you'll cry over it. Sending you guys love
9,298

We got a copy from the library.
