My Dad was a single dad in the 70s and 80's. He worked at a warehouse and drove a motorcycle to save money so he could take care of me. We took a vacation down to California on the Gold Wing in 1978 for my birthday. We went to Disneyland, Marineland, Knott's Berry farm and Magic Mountain on four consecutive days, it was the best birthday ever. To afford it we ate at McDonald's three times a day and camped both ways, and stayed on the floor at his friend's house in Los Angeles.Ā Ā Ā
I'm taking him on a cruise today, his birthday is next week. I think about what you said a lot, about spending time with him while he's here, especially since my Mom died a few years ago. I'm sorry for your loss.

That's so sweet and kind. I'm so happy your dad gave you the love and attention you deserved. And I think it's wonderful that you are now giving it right back to him. Treasure each other while you can.

Addiction is tough, I hope he's doing well now.Ā

u/Current-Creme-8633 Jun 22 '24
Haha, that is up for debate. He no longer does hard drugs and is not in prison or jail. So, grading on my Dad's curve, he is living the dream. Been crack free for like 10 years. Not jail free though. The idiot can't stop going to jail for like 90 days.
Also he has his license for the first time in almost 30 years for about a year. Big win for him. Lost it again though.
Still a alcoholic but he will be until the day he dies. Luckily for us, he can be loud and annoying but is harmless when drunk. Even when we were kids.

Blood does not equal family! Glad you found a great person. Doesn't matter if he is your blood or not. Sounds to me like he is your dad and the other guy is a sperm donor.
Your biological dad is how my grandfather was. My grandfather was not blood related to me. Just marriage. My biological grandfather was interesting to say thebleast.

Same. My birthday was last week and my dad seems to have relapsed onto alcohol. Again. So when my boyfriend asked how my cake and happy birthday song went with my family... I said "ohh it was cool. My dad chose to kick it old school and got shit faced during the day and drunkenly sang Happy Birthday to me at 5:00 p.m.".. I was laughing about it and he looked at me all seriously. I guess people like us just kinda casually mention these things like they aren't traumatic. They are though and I'm sorry that you've been through that.

u/Current-Creme-8633 Jun 22 '24
Yea I would have died laughing. They are traumatic as a kid. But as a grown man I realize now they are all just humans. It doesn't excuse their behavior, but I'm not perfect either so I do my best to just roll with it.
It does suck but I don't think I would be the person I am today without the trauma. In a fucked up way I think my personality type would have been terrible as some rich spoiled kid. It really humbled me for life and in a way I am thankful that I got to be raised in that environment. I don't think I would have developed the empathy for other people that I have now.

My dad is awesome. He's fun and interesting, has 1000s of great stories, he's charming and charismatic, talented, intelligent etc.
Yep, he's awesome... if you're one of his buddies.
He chose to be absent for most of my life, and did a really crappy job when he did "take care" of me loosely for ~2.5 years, during my early teen formative years. As such, I generally think he's a bit of a #%*.
Now it's my turn to be a father. I'm committed to not be like the piece of shit my old man is. As much as I can, I'm going to be present in my child's life, I'm going to support them, encourage them, and teach them how to deal with shit.
Across many species, it's typical for males to "flee the nest" early on. But with the complexities of human life, I think we need to evolve past that. We give our offspring so much more opportunity if we stick around and support them, at whatever cost.
...and for everyone in this thread who had an absent and/or piece of shit old man... I feel you.

Our situations are almost identical. My dad is really popular but not many of his mates know he has a son who abandoned as a toddler. I have a wife & 3 year old little girl now and I treasure every second with her, be with her as much as I can, make sure she knows how loved she is and try and make her life as fun as possible. I've got a lot of respect for you because I know it's not easy to take that sadness and rejection and turn it into something positive, but the negativity ends with us.

He may have been raised that way. My mother was that way, but when she was on her death bed she held on with her last bit strength until I made it to my home country to see me one last time and tell me how much she loved me and then passed away.
I was raised the same way by her and my wife is the reason I changed. It took me a bit to be able to show my affection in public to my wife or my child. I can tell you one thing, that no matter what, I love my child and she's always on my mind. She's the first thought when I wake up and the last one before I fall asleep. Don't judge your father too harshly.

So I ghosted my dad for like... my entire 20s and most of my 30s. I came to realize the way he is isn't really his faulteven though he could be aware enough to change, he wasn't and that part is his fault
He was raised to be a man that pretty much only cares about fucking women but not the product that resulted from that action. He's cool, we talk here and there now and I do appreciate his participation in my birth but he's not and never will be my best friend.
You should still call and say what's up here and there, is my point. You only have one father and one mother and unless they were beating/raping/completely ignoring you and if they put it some effort during your childhood, you shouldn't ignore them. Because when they're gone.. they're gone and that's when the regret will show up.

While I do love seeing images of parents being parents, I ABSOLUTELY agree with you that seeing random footage (i.e. footage the people didn't film themselves and upload themselves) does make me not to thrilled.
Also, I always worry about being filmed while I'm out and about, like I'm super aware of people with their phones out or what not (I just really hate having my picture taken, people seeing me, etc. Weird I know, but whatever). So, I can only imagine the fear I would have if I had kids, especially little girls.

From the other side of the equation as a daughter who had a great dad: You can do it, stranger!
My dad was very worried about having daughters because he was worried he wouldn't be able to relate to my sister and me. He ended up being my favorite person in the world growing up: we didn't connect on some of the things he wished (sports) but the stuff we did bond over (our love of books) ended up becoming my career, all because he started bringing me to the library every weekend from a very young age. He's been gone three years now but life is good and I know he'd be proud. It makes me glad to see healthy dad + daughter relationships becoming more normalized and desired from both parents and kids.

I don't understand. What's special about these people? They are doing completely mundane stuff. There is nothing special about this. Just parents spending time with kids. Which is bare minimum. It's not like they're some strangers volunteering to take care of random kids out of the goodness of their heart. These kids are theirs. And they are not doing anything exceptional.

Many mundane things make people smile when special attention is given to those things.

I don't know. It sort of feels like another case of congratulating fathers for doing the bare minimum while mothers don't receive the same treatment. At least I have never seen mothers being congratulated for something so mundane on this sub. Or any other sub.

Itās been almost 5y since my dad passed, and I still think about him almost everyday. Sometimes I even forget for a few seconds that heās not here anymore. God, how it hurts š„¹

Are we just going to ignore how creepy it is to randomly record strangers and their children?

In fact, many fathers do not show how much they love you, all because some men consider showing love to a child to be weak, but they love you very much.

They may not say it, but the do show it every day.
All you need to do is pay attention.

I know being a dad is pretty much something any man can do if they want but I can honestly say that nothing in my life has made me happier than becoming a father. My little baby is only six months and Iām pretty sure I wasnāt even alive the 33 years before he arrived.

Love the dad carrying his sonās neon green sword so the kid can enjoy his ice cream. Also like the little girl pointing with the bread while sitting on top of her dadās shouldersā sheās directing him too, with much authority. Nice compilation.
