(#2) Because Someday, He'll Stop Asking
I was in a bad mood today and needed down time
— Richard Dean (@dad_on_my_feet) October 4, 2020
But then our 6yo, with a pile of LEGO on the floor, patted the ground next to him
“Daddy, BUILD with me!”
So I smiled and sat.
I still wanted to be alone, but had no choice
Because someday he’ll stop asking -

(#4) Wanted An Extra Pair
{getting ready to take the kids to school this morning}
— Lilly (@misslillytoyou) December 5, 2018
5yo: Mum, can I take a extra pair of gloves and a hat today?
Me: sure, in case they get wet?
5yo: because there’s a boy in my class who never has any and I want him to be warm. -
(#5) Cup Runeth Over
I'm on cloud nine, my son who got cancer at 19 has just got an all clear scan and passed his degree today.

(#7) Helped Her Make A Replacement
A small moment of niceness to start the week: I lost the part of the tape dispenser that holds the roll in place. After I explained what it looked like to the 8yo, he helped me build a replacement out of Legos! pic.twitter.com/4rm7KMTfJP

(#8) That's Just Four Things
My 3yo said she wanted to be an astronaut, and I said she had to study hard, go to college, learn a lot of science, and take a physical fitness test, and she shrugged and said, "That's just 4 things." So she's basically a nonchalant motivational speaker.

(#9) Son Is Breaking Stereotypes
Last year my son said he wanted to take ballet, but that "boys can't do ballet."
— The Salty Mamas (@saltymamas) December 23, 2018
Thus began several months of conversations to give him the confidence to take his 1st class.
Tonight, he goes onstage with a major ballet company to perform in the Nutcracker.
And I am proud AF. -
(#10) Reading Under The Covers
Somehow I’ve lucked out and have an 8yo who thinks secretly reading under the covers past her bedtime is an act of rebellion, and it hasn’t yet occurred to her that her flashlights never seem to run out of batteries.

(#11) Get Me A Drink
Me: this day is stressing me...I need a drink.
— WTFDAD (@daddydoubts) November 3, 2020
3yo: here ya go dad *hands me his milk*
Me: got anything stronger?
3yo: yep! MOM CAN YOU GET DAD A CHOCOLATE MILK -
(#12) Heard His Son Speak

(#13) Already Doing Better Than They Did
My kid never has to hear her parents screaming. She never has to hide in her bedroom, waiting for the fight to stop while the whole house shakes. She's glad when I get home from work. The sound of keys hitting the coffee table doesn't trigger her. I'm doing better than they did.

(#14) He Knows Who He Is
My son is severely autistic. Usually when I ask him a question he just repeats the last word I said.
— Scott Carefoot (@scottcarefoot) September 5, 2020
I just asked him for a hug because he gives the best hugs. Then I asked him, "Who am I?"
He replied "Daddy." So now I'm crying. -

(#16) Tell Me About Atoms
A few weeks ago, I tried to literally bore my 3yo to sleep by telling him everything I knew about nuclear and particle physics. It's a fair bit, it was my speciality once. Every night since then, as he's falling asleep, his little voice pipes up: "tell me about atoms daddy."

(#17) They'll Take Over The World
I played Dungeons and Dragons with my daughters.
— James Breakwell, Exploding Unicorn (@XplodingUnicorn) January 7, 2018
They were supposed to fight the wolves surrounding a town.
Instead, they fed the wolves and turned them into their friendly wolf army.
Girls, man. They’ll take over the world. -
(#18) Tough Girl
my daughter's body is crushed by chemo but she won't let me carry her up steps to bed. "I'll make it,"she says each night-and does. so tough pic.twitter.com/4xe9VecqI0

(#20) Are You Doing Okay Without Me?
I used to take my 4yo daughter into work some weekends and I'd print out some xrays so that she'd colour them in and that would keep her quiet. Since COVID she hasn't been allowed in. The other day she put her hand on my shoulder and said "daddy, are you coping Ok without me?"

(#21) Just Some Space Facts
The 6yo figured out she can sneakily stick a note on someone’s back. But she doesn’t know they should say things like “kick me,” so they just have space facts on them.

(#24) Learning How To Stand Up For Himself
Lad is in isolation at school for smacking a kid that’s been bullying him for weeks. Any advice of how I can treat him tonight? Thinking cinema or Nando’s.

(#25) My Parents Are Making Friends
Yesterday my husband, my daughter and I met up with another couple we've gotten to know for lunch. About an hour or so in, my daughter looks up at the couple and grins, saying "I'm so proud of my mom and dad for making friends they're really not good at it"

2yo (almost 3), has listened to the Moana soundtrack basically every day for a year and tonight we’re all watching it together as a family and she was so overwhelmed she burst into tears like 30 seconds in

(#31) Monday Isn't Real
My 5yo stormed out of my office when i told him i had to do a meeting. He was very mad that i couldn't look at his crafts like i did yesterday. I tried to explain that it was Monday and I had to work, and he yelled "Monday isn't real" on the way out. I'm still just sitting here.

(#32) Sometimes You Take The Yogurt
I got in a fight with my daughter tonight
— Heather Thompson Day (@HeatherTDay) October 19, 2020
She didn’t say sorry
20 minutes later she came into my room with two yogurts and two spoons
There are times when you’ll get a yogurt, when really you deserve an apology
& every now and then
you’ll just accept the yogurt -
(#33) I Figured It Was A Possibility
My daughter told me she was gay and expected me to be shocked like I'm not the one that's been buying her Lightning McQueen, Ninja turtles, and Transformers, her whole life. Girl I figured it was a possibility.
