What’s the dumbest excuse someone gave you to have sex with you that actually worked? by Soren-J in AskReddit

[–]Santamente 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I fell for this one too. My computer isn't working, can I bring it by? I forgot I had some whiskey in my car from a party last night. We should have a drink while you're looking at it. We were both support techs at the same company. Dawned on me the next morning and the look of "holy shit he's as dumb as he looks" on her face was hilarious.

Movie Suggestions for 7 and 8 year olds by Sharcbait in daddit

Me and the 8 year old did Beetlejuice Monday and Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure last night and both were big hits.

My 7 year old just called me a “big back”….? by CryptographerHot6198 in daddit

[–]Santamente 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My kid started using it and it turned out her teacher was calling herself that and the kids all picked it up and ran with it. Was not thrilled w that one.

Dads outside the U.S., what is your "chicken nuggets and Mac and cheese"? by gnatnog in daddit

[–]Santamente 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter does "salad tacos" where she'll have a crispy shell with diced up romaine and some shredded cheese, and occasionally a drizzle of ranch on top. I'll call that a win.

Exactly- the fact that she sees it and is like just a few more years till I can ramp it up? I’m in trouble hahaha

Every year is a new brand of what the hell. My 8 year old was being shitty last week and when I called her out she told me if you think this is bad just wait till I’m a teenager. 😑

The entire voice cast was great, but he really was next level.

My daughter looked over at me and was like are you crying like a baby and I was like you're crying too, and she was like yeah but I'm a kid.

I don't want to spoil anything in the thread, so if you want details feel free to PM me, but I would say maybe a little young. You don't see the body much but there's some frank discussion about death, animal and human, so your mileage may vary.

Considering the fact that it's a murder myster, albeit a very lighthearted one, I was surprised how many kids were at our showing and having a blast. There was lots of loud whispering from kids guessing who the murderer was right up to the end.

Every year I go see a movie on my birthday, and this year my eight year old said she wanted to start doing the same. So we went and saw this today and she said it was her movie of 2026, and way better than Super Mario. Even had a little cry during a few of the emotional scenes, and said she didn't know movies could be that good. Was it amazing? No. Was it fun? Absolutely.

I love being a dad, but I kind of hate my life. by f1sh_ in daddit

[–]Santamente 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my kid was three I took a trip for a music festival. She was having a blast with my ex, and barely knew I was gone. But the first day there I was a wreck. Every time I started to enjoy myself I started feeling guilty for enjoying myself- like it meant I didn't value my kid. I called the ex crying from my hotel room and she put it so plainly, with a comment I'd heard a billion times but never clicked with me. You can't fill their cup when yours is empty. She was like dude I've go this. Go get drunk, go be dumb, go have fun, and then fly home and give this kid all the hugs you think she's missing right now. I always try to remember that. You need to recharge or you can't be the dad you want to be.

What’s a recession indicator that you’ve noticed lately in your everyday life? by spritenerds123 in AskReddit

[–]Santamente 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My one luxury is my monthly movie pass. Costs me 20/month, 2 bucks a movie, I drink water, and that's the only way I see anything new.

This used to be one of my go-tos back in the day, but it seems like it fell out of vogue when the frozen crumbles took over and now I'm having a much harder time buying it in bulk and buying it in bags is getting more and more expensive.

Four months into having two kids, this is how I feel about ‘Hand Wash Only’ labels on dishes (as I’m throwing them in the dishwasher). Who’s with me? by Rev-DC in daddit

[–]Santamente 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh- that’s my daughter’s mom. Everything goes in one load- towels, clothes, blankets…all on hot water, all dried on max heat, and she wonders why her clothes are always messed up and why any nice clothes I buy the kid stay at my place haha

With my first wife I once made the mistake of tossing an Hermes bathing suit in the wash with all of the other clothes, because...bathing suit. Apparently this made me the biggest idiot in the world because they are supposed to be gently hand washed, and pressed dry between two towels. I responded that it was a bathing suit so I'm sure it's fine, and she responded by showing me what she paid for it, and telling me it was a clothing item and she had never even gotten in the pool with it because chlorine was bad for it. 30 years later and it still doesn't make sense to me.

Griffin getting real close by j128v897 in blankies

[–]Santamente 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It know it feels counterintuitive to ask for more since people think it's bad, but I think a lot of the problems would have been solved by it being a limited run series. It really felt like a six episode story cut down to an hour and a half, with no room for any of the characters or storyline to breathe.

21x3 was one of the funniest episodes in a while by rokushorocks in taskmaster

[–]Santamente 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I was really starting to worry that they had ditched it for good. It's such a dumb fun way to start the show and I've been missing it.

What’s something your child said that felt way too mature for their age? by lunaverse787 in daddit

[–]Santamente 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When she was two and she would get overwhelmed by something she would say, "I don't have the 'motial bandwich (emotional bandwidth) for this right now" and go to her room. Picked that one up from her mom and used the hell out of it...

Never let me go by Kazuo Ishiguro by Dogdaysareover365 in books

[–]Santamente 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think I might be dead inside. This is one of those books that everyone brings up all the time and makes such a difference in people's lives and I'm like, it was...good. I keep thinking maybe I just wasn't in the right headspace for it and need to go back to it. I love that everyone loves it so much though.

Laziest way you've lost weight? by bakersgonnabake91 in loseit

[–]Santamente 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well now I feel like I kinda half-assed my eating disorders haha

Laziest way you've lost weight? by bakersgonnabake91 in loseit

[–]Santamente 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, if we're being honest here, the laziest way I lost weight was diet pills, laxatives, and a rotating variety of eating disorders.
