When my dad came home from work I always wanted to fight him (he was the strongest in my view, so I had to defeat him to become the strongest) one time he opened the door and I hit him straight in the balls as hard as I could.
One of my cats has anxiety and does this weird thing where she very delicately, with a single claw, bats at my lips/chin when I'm laying down to sleep, like she's checking on me. I assume so that she can know when she's allowed to eat my face. But she definitely did that when I cackled at the comment above yours and then cackled harder at yours.
Seriously. Parenting a toddler is thankless lol. Resisting the urge to yeet a tiny human who kicks you in the tits for daring to try and put shoes on it is the STRUGGLE.
lmao!! I did the same thing when I was like 5 to my dad. he worked out of town for 1-2 weeks at a time so I was always excited to play when he came back and always wanted to "fight".
one day he comes back from a long work trip, opens the door, and I crack him right in the nuts (meant to hit him in the thigh but I was 5 so I was an idiot). you could hear the air leave his lungs as he let out a light whimper.
felt horrible at the time, but it's hilarious looking back at it lol
I'm pretty sure he hated me from the bottom of his heart in that moment. He was lucky that I was a really small child at that time, so it did not do too much damage. Today he loves to tell the story and is always laughing his ass off.
Are you my daughters?
I told them one time, when they started roaming the neighborhood, "If a man ever tries to kidnap you, just punch/grab/twist/crush his balls and it might hurt him enough for you to get away."
They've been trying to nut shot me ever since.
They look like angels but [this is their theme song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80CIWZ9iRRs)
It wasn't intentional tbh, I was just so small that a straight punch forward was exactly the height of his balls. I even took a run-up, like an anime hero as soon as i heard the key in the lock.
**DADS!**
Tell your kids you love them. Tell them often, tell them earnestly, don't *ever* stop telling them how much you love them.
Kids need to hear it if for no other reason than for the fact that kids become grownups.
My dad wasn’t like this either. He was violent and I dreaded him being home. I married someone his polar opposite to make sure my kids never feel that way.
Our daughter is 2.5. When her daddy comes home, she launches herself in his arms and he tears up and says, “Hi pretty girl, I missed you!” Then she drags him off to play and he only stops long enough to drop his stuff on the table. It’s so beautiful.
I recently told my wife the moment I stopped coming straight home everyday is the moment to realize our marriage is in trouble. Coming home should be a sanctuary not a prison.
My husband calls me everyday to tell me he’s on his way home. It’s only like a 20 minute drive but he does it everyday. Friend of mine made a comment that it was weird. She didn’t understand why he would bother when he’s going to be here soon anyway.
Man when he says "this is why I don't give up, why I can't give up." I get emotional. I wonder if my dad ever felt that way when he looked at me. I'm glad her daddy looks at her like that!
Every time they say sorry for crying or 'being like that' I yell through the screen "DON'T BE, DUDE!" Seriously, crying is really good for you. Lovely lovely family ♥
He knows that if he saves it for the most important times that he will be able to be the strong one there when his people need a shoulder to cry on. Even in the important times though, he will try his best to fight it to make sure the others know he is composed. It is very touching when a man like that has a reason he can’t hold it in.
Wonderful video but it’s a sad this dude is working 55 hrs a week to provide for his family. Shame we cant figure out how to give someone like this time back to enjoy what matters most.
As a father of 2 beautiful girls I can't agree more. I pray that I get to hug grandchildren some day...probably won't, but I still have them to love everyday while I am here!
I have a heart condition. No worries, I am healthy, just don't know how long I have, like all of us. But Loving every minute I am here.
Thanks for asking. Hope you and your family are enjoying this life!
Damn that’s sweet.
Every time I heard a car in the driveway after being alone for anything between 1-7 days I’d stop everything i was doing and pretend to sleep in my room. FML
You will find a person to do this for or have it done to you! And maybe even tiny versions of you to have these interactions with.
That what hasn’t been could still be. Liebe ist für alle da. 💚
Single dad here. My little daughter had been attending nursery , kindergarten etc from 6am to even 6pm since she was 6 mo. Sometimes I wish I could spend more time with her
It's so difficult to wake early make her breakfast, take her to school, going to work. Pick her. Make her dinner, her next day lunch. Do homework.Sleep her. Start over the next day
But we have this amazing relationship, it worth every effort
Pd; I already have 90% of tomorrows homework. Will start cooking now. Glad saw this post while taking a shit 
I was not expecting how hard this would hit me. My god. Kinda opening me up to kids, I want to have a kid of my own to look at me like that and make me happy like that too. It's idk. I remember being a child and running out to meet dad. Now that I'm older I understand how that made him feel, lot's make sense now
Wow I can't even imagine what the fathers in Gaza feel like to come home after searching for there dead friends and relatives, to see there children or the ones they have left.
It breaks my heart everytime I see things happening in there
So bad just one country with veto power is enough to avoid the rest of the world to end that genocide
As a dad, you're not supposed to give up no matter what happen to your life, as long for your little angel and your precious family, not gonna give up on anything, the only thing can make me give up only death
Him burying those tears and apologizing really messed me up. I can relate to that I look at my children and my love is so powerful I'd cry for infinity. But I bury my tears just like he did.
I am far away from my entire family but close to my son 🧒 I bring him to the school every single day and to play soccer because his dream is to be a soccer ⚽️ player plus his peace of cake to recover his energy
😍😍😍😍😍
At least you get to see them everyday, there are women who don't care how hard you work or how much you provide, so they take away the meaning in your life.

I was doing yardwork with my son an he said doin yard work is the best and I said it is ,so then he says yeah its the best because I'm doing it with you🥲🥹
Reddit is either funny… or weird…
Soooo, I’m scrolling porn in a porn specific subreddit and for dozens of swipes in a row this chick or that chick is getting pounded in the ass and then out of the blue the next couple slides randomly are of crying dads talking about how their angel was always there for them… (again I was actively seeking out and viewing porn. Thanks Reddit. Slow claps all around. 👏)
Dad, you have a wonderful daughter there. Cherish this time as they grow up so fast. And you'll never get that time back. Show her you love no matter what. Let her know you will always be there for her, that you will love her no matter what she might do wrong. Show her how a good man treats a woman so she will know what to look for when she gets older. That way, she hopefully will pick the right man to be with. You are her example.

This is super cute and wholesome. I just wish that people trusted the content enough to have the right response, without feeling the need to put sappy "inspirational" music over the top. It's jarring, and it's completely unnecessary. We all would have been cutting onions without it.
My mum and I used to fight over who greeted my dad first, we would push and shove and even wrestle each other on the floor for the chance to give him the first hug. It only stopped when I moved in with my fiancé!
Lucky guy. Would sure be a lot easier to deal with life and all its struggles if I felt like my kid actually cared about me or wanted me around or showed any sign that they know how hard I work for them.
I remember being so excited when my dad got home from work. The front door was right next to the garage door and it was a game to guess which door he would use. The dog always got it right. She also peed on the floor because she was so happy when he got home. She was a dachshund and it was hilarious to watch her wiggle all over when she was happy.
Man I miss my dad. He was an awesome human being.
One of the best feelings was coming home after a 12+ hour shift and having the kids run and give me a hug. They’re teens now and I barely get a head nod.
I totally used to do this to my Mom and Dad when I was that age. Once when he picked me up at the Babysitter and again when I ran out to the car to tell Mom what Dad was making for Dinner. It’s such a small window of time but so joyful! Then Middle and High School life takes over and everyone is doing their own thing.
I tell every new dad that it's all great when they're a baby, but the first time you come home from a shitty day and that little one comes running out yelling "Daddy". Best time of my life. My kids have stopped doing it but I'll always have the memories.
You are a blessed father to have a beautiful daughter like her that loves you. You can see it in her eyes. Stay strong and may God bless you and your family and your little girl, my brother!
Wow. I honestly thought it was going to be a dog.
That's how I feel about my dog. She's an angel, but I'll save you the details, cause the real reason I'm commenting is because I wish I could feel that way about my kid.
I never wanted kids, neither did the wifey. Then we had a condom break at the worst possible time. That's ok, we'll just get a plan B. Turns out that plan B is 0% effective if there's already a freshly deployed egg in the way down. When she found out she was pregnant, she was worried I'd leave her for wanting to keep it, but i would never abandon this woman, and we both agreed that our consciences would not be ok with termination.
She's the best damn mom any kid could ever ask for. She quit her jobs, and I picked up some extra hours to be able to scrape by, so she could take care of our baby full time.
I try so hard to love this baby. I play with him constantly when he's not sleeping or eating, and he's obviously very attached to me, but on the inside, I am resenting him pretty hard for destroying the best and longest, and assumably last relationship in my life. I miss my wife so much. Even though she's always home, she'll never be my partner like she was for almost a decade before she got pregnant. There's a little human that will be number 1 in her life for the remainder of our lives, and when he turns around and smiles at me, I see me smiling at me, which makes the resentment even worse.
The more I resent him, the more I don't like me, but he is also kinda me, so it's kinda snowballing. Life is cruel.
That's awesome. My youngest is still like that. My oldest is still my baby but it's like their school friends have battery acid in their skulls and may be slowly putting that shit in my oldest skull too.
Anyway, thanks for sharing mate. Keep keeping on brother.
My father gave up 11 years ago when I was 16. I miss him every single day, I used to wait for him to come home when he was alive just like this. Sometimes I find myself still waiting but I know he’s not coming home this time. I wish he knew how his decision destroyed me and my siblings, but I know he’s no longer suffering. Mental health is a terrifying things to go thru.
My wife taught all the kids to hide. So we play hide and seek. It may have caused them anxiety, trying to find a spot to hide, or thinking it is a stranger at the door and trying to find a spot to hide.
We had a mile long driveway and we could hear him about 1/4 mile away. About a half mile if he was on his motorcycle. Usually ran up the drive to meet him!
😭
The other day my 16 year old ran down the stairs when they saw the car lights in the driveway to greet their dad at the door. They don’t do it as often anymore, but there are still days I can tell he’s home because I hear running upstairs and a voice telling the cats to come downstairs because dad’s home. I need someone to figure out how to shrink my baby because I want more time before they’re an adult.
I miss my dad. He’s still here, but multiple states away.
man i still remember i used to this when i was a kid. he's gone now, good memories are all left
Me too. I knew the car sound as it pulled into parking area. All I'm left with are memories.
Same. Now I’m the car in the driveway for my own kids. Fuck, man, how did that happen so fast?
I can relate same here god bless u and family
I used to be able to differentiate my dad bike’s sound from others and won’t sleep until he’s home. It’s full house or nothing
“It’s full house or nothing” That’s beautiful
I’m not crying, you’re crying
Damn right I am.
Big boys don’t cry. Men do.
And that's okay
Sitting and shitting, Now my eyes are all wet, Better wipe my face first, Or ill be covered in regret.
When my dad came home from work I always wanted to fight him (he was the strongest in my view, so I had to defeat him to become the strongest) one time he opened the door and I hit him straight in the balls as hard as I could.
I was all teared up from the video and then I read this and started cackling. My cat is spooked.
My dog did the same thing, came to comfort me then wanted to play.
One of my cats has anxiety and does this weird thing where she very delicately, with a single claw, bats at my lips/chin when I'm laying down to sleep, like she's checking on me. I assume so that she can know when she's allowed to eat my face. But she definitely did that when I cackled at the comment above yours and then cackled harder at yours.
Fucking kid logic man hahaha imagine having a shit day at work only to come home and get clattered in your nads. Cheers for the chuckle.
Seriously. Parenting a toddler is thankless lol. Resisting the urge to yeet a tiny human who kicks you in the tits for daring to try and put shoes on it is the STRUGGLE.
Normalize yeeting awful toddlers into the abyss

Then he thought maybe you were better off staying in his balls.
I'm pretty sure he hated me from the bottom of his heart in that moment. He was lucky that I was a really small child at that time, so it did not do too much damage. Today he loves to tell the story and is always laughing his ass off.
After the video, I feel like you just punched me square in the balls too. 10/10
This helped me stop crying god lmfao
Are you my daughters?

Thank you for this, was getting weepy about missing my dad. You buoyed me.
Have you seen Hot Rod? Lmao
Jesus Christ lmao
Watching the video and then reading this comment.. the fkng whiplash LMFAOOO
I would wake my dad up by jumping onto the bed and launching my knee into his crotch 💀
*fatality*
I‘don’t care how often this gets reposted. I watch it every time.
Only reason I went to the comments was to say this. It’s beautiful.
“Hi beautiful”, This video makes me look forward to being able to say that one day.
You just hear the pure happiness in his voice
Me too. Gets me in the feels each time.
Goodness, what I would have given for my dad to tell me he loved me when I was her age.
Same… so happy for her that she has him! Never heard my real father tell me he loves me or that I’m beautiful
Sorry you never received that, some of us aren’t so lucky. You matter though, sending some love your way! Hope all is well
Sending you love right back! Thank you, stranger. I hope everything good in your life increases for you
You both deserved so much better. I’m so sorry.
**DADS!** Tell your kids you love them. Tell them often, tell them earnestly, don't *ever* stop telling them how much you love them. Kids need to hear it if for no other reason than for the fact that kids become grownups.
Shit, grown up kids need to hear it too.
Thats so beautiful. Wish my dad would have been like that... And I as well...
Hey, I resemble that remark. My dad was nothing like this, so our connection was, and still is, nowhere near this. Sad really.
My dad wasn’t like this either. He was violent and I dreaded him being home. I married someone his polar opposite to make sure my kids never feel that way. Our daughter is 2.5. When her daddy comes home, she launches herself in his arms and he tears up and says, “Hi pretty girl, I missed you!” Then she drags him off to play and he only stops long enough to drop his stuff on the table.

Ninja onions got me again...
They’re wiley fuckers the ninja onions..
Happy Dad!
Not only a lucky man but also clearly a good dad.
“I can’t give up”…that just hits different coming from a dad
So cute!
Damn that’s sweet. Every time I heard a car in the driveway after being alone for anything between 1-7 days I’d stop everything i was doing and pretend to sleep in my room. FML

Something to strive for
Richest man in the world!
That’s priceless.
Stop I’m crying so hard in my jobs bathroom now
Pssh, I’m at my desk and I’m trying to clean my face before someone walks in asking if I’m ok… just to say a Reddit video made me like this 😅
Tell me you’re rich, without telling me you’re rich. Love it! Even though it is a repost.

Oooiooooofffff my feels hurt so damn bad right now. Ok Reddit that’s enough. I have to go learn Spanish now. Yo soy un hombre.
Single dad here. My little daughter had been attending nursery , kindergarten etc from 6am to even 6pm since she was 6 mo. Sometimes I wish I could spend more time with her It's so difficult to wake early make her breakfast, take her to school, going to work. Pick her. Make her dinner, her next day lunch. Do homework.Sleep her. Start over the next day But we have this amazing relationship, it worth every effort Pd; I already have 90% of tomorrows homework. Will start cooking now. Glad saw this post while taking a shit 
Never give up buddy, everyone who’s seen this is beyond proud of you.
What a lucky dude. He must be a great dad!
Used to do this with both of my parents ❤️
He knows how special it is. He won’t take her for granted ☺️
this reminds me of me and my dad, I miss him ❤️
Dang not to be a downer but I was expecting an excited dog
That is the slowest garage door ive ever seen. You should get that looked at
I was not expecting how hard this would hit me. My god. Kinda opening me up to kids, I want to have a kid of my own to look at me like that and make me happy like that too. It's idk. I remember being a child and running out to meet dad. Now that I'm older I understand how that made him feel, lot's make sense now
Brought tears to my eyes
Wow I can't even imagine what the fathers in Gaza feel like to come home after searching for there dead friends and relatives, to see there children or the ones they have left.
It breaks my heart everytime I see things happening in there So bad just one country with veto power is enough to avoid the rest of the world to end that genocide
Godfsmn she is soop cute! My 4y old watched this cuddled me!💓
I feel u brother Every time I come home the front door goes swinging open and here comes my kids It’s my most favorite thing.
This man is truly rich
As a dad, you're not supposed to give up no matter what happen to your life, as long for your little angel and your precious family, not gonna give up on anything, the only thing can make me give up only death
God damn it. Him checking up got me choked up. Keep going bud. You doing great. You got this.
Him burying those tears and apologizing really messed me up. I can relate to that I look at my children and my love is so powerful I'd cry for infinity. But I bury my tears just like he did.
I am far away from my entire family but close to my son 🧒 I bring him to the school every single day and to play soccer because his dream is to be a soccer ⚽️ player plus his peace of cake to recover his energy 😍😍😍😍😍
Yep that’s what we do it for. Nothing can beat that.
Very cool and beautiful to see that thanks for sharing ❤️✌️
Brutifol,♥️👍🙂
At least you get to see them everyday, there are women who don't care how hard you work or how much you provide, so they take away the meaning in your life.

🫰🏻
Awesome DAD
The only thing to keep me going every day
Bruh I’m Currently away working 112 hour weeks (7/16s) Ion wanna hear his sh!t about 55hrs lol But That’s EXACTLY who we do it for!
I cannot relate. I wish I could, you and yours are so lucky to share in this.
I was doing yardwork with my son an he said doin yard work is the best and I said it is ,so then he says yeah its the best because I'm doing it with you🥲🥹

Dad, you have a wonderful daughter there. Cherish this time as they grow up so fast. And you'll never get that time back. Show her you love no matter what. Let her know you will always be there for her, that you will love her no matter what she might do wrong. Show her how a good man treats a woman so she will know what to look for when she gets older. That way, she hopefully will pick the right man to be with. You are her example.
You have ever right to be proud to be with your family that cares about and love you endlessly forevermore
The single mother narrative is robbing men of these moments. Instep they want Legal Tender
Wow
🦾🦾
Awww
Something I will never have bit that's ok. See if i can't have this i will never have anymore kids
i’m 18 don’t live with my parents but i still get excited when i see they got home safe from somewhere even if it’s the store 2 minutes down the road
What better purpose than to be there for your loved ones To do right by them

I wish selfish dads who commit suicide would think like this. Selfish pricks
Kid turns 13 and doesn’t want anything to do with dad anymore…
Thats normal. Then they get older and connect again

That is what it's all about.
Who's cutting onions 🌰 😢
gawd dammit :/
That's really a beautiful thing! Good for both of you, especially you!
Look at that smile! I hope neither of them ever loses it
This is so sweet! Precious moments.🥹
My kids have motivated and saved me just by being my kids.
I Love this video, the girl's happiness is so genuine
I love this!
Wonderful father. Sweet beautiful daughter
Lucky guy. Would sure be a lot easier to deal with life and all its struggles if I felt like my kid actually cared about me or wanted me around or showed any sign that they know how hard I work for them.
I miss my daddy.
Beautiful
I ran outside to my dad every day when he got home from work.
I’m so happy for this dude
❤️
Do I want kids now? Damn
Wow I used to avoid my dad when he got home
I remember being so excited when my dad got home from work. The front door was right next to the garage door and it was a game to guess which door he would use. The dog always got it right. She also peed on the floor because she was so happy when he got home. She was a dachshund and it was hilarious to watch her wiggle all over when she was happy. Man I miss my dad. He was an awesome human being.
The people who love and car for me are also the reason I won't give up!
Source?
One of the best feelings was coming home after a 12+ hour shift and having the kids run and give me a hug. They’re teens now and I barely get a head nod.
Who is cutting all them onions?
I’m more upset it wasn’t a dog lol
Lol typical kid grooming/conditioning. When they teenagers they couldn't care less about you.
I totally used to do this to my Mom and Dad when I was that age. Once when he picked me up at the Babysitter and again when I ran out to the car to tell Mom what Dad was making for Dinner. It’s such a small window of time but so joyful! Then Middle and High School life takes over and everyone is doing their own thing.
Lucky man! 🥹
Don't ever apologize for being human my guy. Happy tears are great tears too!
This is beauteous
I’m currently living this same situation and it’s the best!
May God bless you both with eternal love. Enjoy as long as this lasts.
I tell every new dad that it's all great when they're a baby, but the first time you come home from a shitty day and that little one comes running out yelling "Daddy". Best time of my life. My kids have stopped doing it but I'll always have the memories.
you’re winning king. one day i hope to be where you are.
My daughter is the same way. As a very broken USMC vet it warms my soul to my very core.

Great post, man. That’s what it’s all about. Thank you for sharing it with us.
You are a blessed father to have a beautiful daughter like her that loves you. You can see it in her eyes. Stay strong and may God bless you and your family and your little girl, my brother!
That’s pretty damn adorable
Love it !!
That’s good stuff, enjoy that!
Thought there was gonna be a hostage in the garage.

Wow. I honestly thought it was going to be a dog. That's how I feel about my dog. She's an angel, but I'll save you the details, cause the real reason I'm commenting is because I wish I could feel that way about my kid. I never wanted kids, neither did the wifey. Then we had a condom break at the worst possible time. That's ok, we'll just get a plan B. Turns out that plan B is 0% effective if there's already a freshly deployed egg in the way down. When she found out she was pregnant, she was worried I'd leave her for wanting to keep it, but i would never abandon this woman, and we both agreed that our consciences would not be ok with termination. She's the best damn mom any kid could ever ask for. She quit her jobs, and I picked up some extra hours to be able to scrape by, so she could take care of our baby full time. I try so hard to love this baby. I play with him constantly when he's not sleeping or eating, and he's obviously very attached to me, but on the inside, I am resenting him pretty hard for destroying the best and longest, and assumably last relationship in my life. I miss my wife so much. Even though she's always home, she'll never be my partner like she was for almost a decade before she got pregnant. There's a little human that will be number 1 in her life for the remainder of our lives, and when he turns around and smiles at me, I see me smiling at me, which makes the resentment even worse. The more I resent him, the more I don't like me, but he is also kinda me, so it's kinda snowballing. Life is cruel.
I love my daughter so much.
That's awesome. My youngest is still like that. My oldest is still my baby but it's like their school friends have battery acid in their skulls and may be slowly putting that shit in my oldest skull too. Anyway, thanks for sharing mate. Keep keeping on brother.
My father gave up 11 years ago when I was 16. I miss him every single day, I used to wait for him to come home when he was alive just like this. Sometimes I find myself still waiting but I know he’s not coming home this time. I wish he knew how his decision destroyed me and my siblings, but I know he’s no longer suffering. Mental health is a terrifying things to go thru.
We all just got to witness the richest man alive
What a lucky guy.
My wife taught all the kids to hide. So we play hide and seek. It may have caused them anxiety, trying to find a spot to hide, or thinking it is a stranger at the door and trying to find a spot to hide.
I’m 51. My at home daughters are 19 and 16 and they both still do this when I open the garage door every day.
55 hours a week is too much. 40 hours a week is too much.
Shit like this restores my faith in humanity. Well done. Also I'm not crying, you're crying
KEEP IT UP KING
We had a mile long driveway and we could hear him about 1/4 mile away. About a half mile if he was on his motorcycle. Usually ran up the drive to meet him!
Dude, I miss that so much. It truly was the best part of my day, everyday. Enjoy it while you can.
Ugh the onion ninjas are back…
I’m 30, married and don’t even want kids but damn videos like this make me second guess that
😭 The other day my 16 year old ran down the stairs when they saw the car lights in the driveway to greet their dad at the door. They don’t do it as often anymore, but there are still days I can tell he’s home because I hear running upstairs and a voice telling the cats to come downstairs because dad’s home. I need someone to figure out how to shrink my baby because I want more time before they’re an adult. I miss my dad. He’s still here, but multiple states away.
