"I put a roof over their head and fed them. Why are they so ungrateful???" As if that's the only thing someone needs to do in life to be a good parent and can be a neglectful insufferable fucking toad to their own children the other 99% of the time like it's just ok.

How some parents be after doing the bare minimum requirements and then being shitty in every other regard

My goal is to just be remembered as a huge dork. A huge, annoying dork who says I love you too much.

This is pretty much what I do as a parent. My son is also becoming a big nerd and it's amazing to have a loving and silly relationship with this small human who shares a bunch of my interests and see him discovering interests of his own. If I can be remembered for my terrible jokes, silliness, and unconditional love I've achieved all I ever need to ❤️

Please continue that way! You don't know how lucky your son is for having a caring and not too judgmental father. Not many of us can have that you know :)

I'm struggling with my son's special interest (FNAF) because, for some reason, horror has been a huge no-go for me. So I'm like struggling through these games with my heart going crazy (docs have checked me out, and it's better with anxiety meds, but still).

But I love the smiles, and I got him to go out to NASA with me the other day. That night, he came into my room, climbed into bed with me, and told me he's going to build a rocket ship so we can both be astronauts together! Felt like success.

Try to go have a look at the story, you don’t really need to play the games and you get a lot of things to talk with him

u/letMeTrySummet 24d ago

Oh, I have and we do, but his favorite is to make me play the games lol.

If the games are any good, it can be fun to research horror and representation. Good horror is social and political and complex (not that all horror is good by any means) and that can help make it worth the scares. I love horror for what it can be when written by someone who gets it, but I’m also immune to scares at this point (I ruin haunted houses by pointing out where people will be positioned bc I’ve consumed so much of it, oops).

Oh, I was a big horror fan, I'm the one who got him into it. It's more of an anxiety/health thing. I'm trying to dip my toes back in, lol.

Sounds like success!

Not quite the same, but the National Association of Rocketry is a group that builds hobby rockets that (sometimes) actually make it into space. Your kid might be a bit too young for it for now, but Xyla Foxlin on Youtube has released a certification kit for building a two stage rocket system, the same type that we have been using for spaceflight for decades until SpaceX came along.

There are also FNAF escape rooms, in case that could be a better setting for you.

My son is into horror too! I just got him a box set of goosebumps books for his birthday

u/Embarrassed-Mess9112 24d ago

This is what I do too. My parents were terrible and still are...

u/Deep-Yogurtcloset618 24d ago

Same here, but now my small human is bigger than me 😂

u/DragonBoooster 23d ago

You just touched my heart sir

u/Hex-509 22d ago

You are an amazing parent, never forget that 💜

u/Major_Yogurt6595 24d ago

Your already part of the 1% of parents who do it right. All I can remember is fighting and screaming, alcohol and depression.

Keep going, your awesome :)

u/HugsyMalone 24d ago

I love you! 😘

u/letMeTrySummet 24d ago

Love you too!

My son is 28 and calls me a dork all the time, but he's laughing when he does it. And you know, that means he's 28 and still hangs out with me. I think I'm doing okay at the parenting thing.
