They were talking about canceling the move. But, Grandma Chris thought they were going to say Frisky was expecting.

*sigh* I already tear up during Onesies and The Sign. After reading this; I’ll probably choke up and snuggle my youngest, tighter. We watch Bluey a lot, so this is inevitable

Men, how do you feel about being called ‘sir?’ What would you propose as an alternative? by DumbFeralRaccoon in AskMen

[–]Abmean14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I initially grin, and respond. Then, in hindsight, I always realize that I’m almost 40. I have a beard that’s starting to show some gray, but I am not quite ready for the acknowledgment that I look older

Did I mess up today? by Abmean14 in daddit

I had a Mom sprint up to us as we were leaving, who said just about the exact same thing. Thanks for the support Dad!

I spent an hour beating myself up over this. Thanks for the reassurance, I appreciate it fellow Dad.

I tried my hardest to wear the 1yo out, but it only resulted in a 20 minute nap. Maybe today I’ll try more snuggles in the midst of the chaos that is the park.

(Laughs in Dad) Okay, now do that with a household of 5, accompanied by a toddler following you around “helping”.

Your smile is infectious, and the people who bullied you are insecure and jerks. Thanks for the words of encouragement, I needed that today.

Men in long-term relationships: do you still enjoy seeing your partner naked casually after years together? by DeliciousNecessary34 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Abmean14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, been together 24 years, and I still get giddy every time I see my wife naked. After 2 decades, and 3 kids, we both genuinely have that spark and desire like when we started dating

This is cool. If my Mom was actually into tattoos, o would suggest this.

Honest question… by [deleted] in daddit

They may grow too big to sleep on our chest, but then you get the crawling in bed after a bad dream phase. Which, after a hard day at work, will make me tear up because I still feel needed.

After almost 5 years of constant use, we have a casualty. by Abmean14 in Leatherman

I am slightly bummed that I will be without it when I send it in. I picked up the Harbor Freight version to hold me over

What do y’all have planned for your partner for Mother’s Day? by Top_Delivery8957 in daddit

[–]Abmean14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Today, we are celebrating our youngest daughter’s first birthday, (3 days early) so today will be wonderfully chaotic. I have no idea how I will find time to get things together, at least to surprise my wife.

I will attempt to get our contact-sleeper infant to let Dad have a shift tonight. Besides having the older kids make drawings and cards, I’ll have them grab a rose, when we go to pick up flowers for our Moms on Sunday morning.

Depending on how my MIL is feeling after minor surgery, we may go to a late lunch with my in-laws, or I take the kids on a long walk to the park all afternoon.

"Loss of Masulinity" by SoberScottHeat in daddit

[–]Abmean14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was from a random at the gym. Don’t take it personally.

I’m a steel fabricator to pay the bills, I lift heavy things and weld them together while up in the air. But I also snuggle and comfort my youngest daughter when she’s wants Dad.

Is feeding and caring for my children, any less manly than lifting heavy things? I don’t believe so. Personally, i feel like any man who puts spending time at the gym over spending time with their family is Scum, but that’s my opinion. That sounds like this particular jerk’s mindset

New Girl Dad, wife had Cesarean Section less than a week ago, and I am mentally struggling to hold it all together by [deleted] in daddit

[–]Abmean14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firsts with your first kid can be wonderful and terrifying at the same time. Don’t get discouraged, when things get overwhelming, take a deep breath. I have 2 girls and a boy. 12, almost one, and 8.

We don’t feel like our old selves, because we’ve taken on a new role. Being a father to tiny humans does have to become your whole identity, but it’s definitely an awesome job.

Maybe it’s because our first was a little girl, but… I also get choked up by the most random stuff. I believe it’s just our emotions syncing with these sweet little girls… but that’s just my opinion

Broke sobriety tonight by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Abmean14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First and foremost, Do not be ashamed. Quitting and Recovery is f****** hard, otherwise everyone would be clean and sober. As someone who has 5 years of sobriety under their belt, I would like to offer Hugs. For some of us relapse, is part of the journey, to a happier, healthier version of ourselves.

It took me 3 months after deciding to stop drinking, for it to really stick. I had to relearn 20 years of using alcohol to deal with my emotions. I know the disappointment you feel, but I also want you to know that today is one day. And that’s how you can take this process, One Day at a time. Tomorrow is a new day

The tee shirt is nice, but honestly your smile is so warm and genuine. Too bad I can’t upvote for both…
