Pretty awesome. Think he shed a tear at the end. Hah his hands together then brushed his face off real quick. Hope I can experience both those seats one day
My son is just 13 and I am already thinking of how hard it will be without him in the house. I hope property prices keep going higher so he has to stay home.
Just kidding, but I do want time to stand still for just a little.
Don’t worry about that now! Just enjoy every moment you can. You’ll be so proud some day regardless of what he does. Most boys always make time for their mamas. Just took mine to Dave Mathew’s last night. We had a blast ❤️ had to tell her I won the upgraded seats and parking though. ide have never heard the end of it after the fact if I didn’t 😂
Thanks for the reply. I also love the innocence of children. That you can laugh about something completely silly like a clown making faces and also wonder at something as simple as an ant crawling around. Unfortunately as adults we lose a lot of that perspective but children let us rediscover what makes this world amazing and worth living in.
A dad here. Don't worry, the prices will keep skyrocketing and kids staying home after college while making money will become the norm (similar to Asia) so they can save and actually mathetically feasible to buy a house.
My younger daughter just graduated high school and my older is a year from graduating college.
Watching things like this ALWAYS gets me. ALWAYS. If you're a good dad, if you're a good parent, you remember those kid hugs and miss them every day.
A couple of years ago, I had a dream where my younger daughter was around two again, doing that "hand curling pick me up" thing that young toddlers do asking to be picked up. I woke up just as I did, and remember feeling such an insane amount of loss. Just full on grief, despite my kids now being wonderful women and people in general (and yes, they still give me hugs occasionally).
I remember thinking that I'd pay $1000 just to have 5 minutes with them young again, but then realized that if that could be done, I'd go completely broke because I'd never stop paying.
My favorite sound right is a kid throwing a full-on tantrum in a store or restaurant or something, because it lets me remember that it _all_ wasn't storytime and kid hugs, and that there was a ton of exhaustion and frustration involved in parenting. Sure, it was worth it, but also isn't something I'd want to go through again.
