*THIS VIDEO CONTAINS ACCIDENTAL ASMR BECAUSE I WHISPERED AS TO NOT WAKE UP MY SPECIAL BOY!* Hey y’all! On full time Dad duty today so in lieu of a park rant, here’s something I’m unofficially calling “The Daily Daddy” lol Earlier today I had a realization that I never would have had before I became a father and it made me understand my Godfather Robbie a little better…. Thought I’d share!
I don't know that having kids ramped up any crying, but, great googelymoogely, did P!nk's "When I Get There" send me into tears-dripping-off-your-chin levels of blubbering. https://youtu.be/3moAYqBZ-lI
I looked it up on YouTube and yeah I'm a mess now. Shortly after my son was born, I watched the movie "Boyhood" and the ending to that isn't even sad, but I just dissolved. Something about having this person who you brought into the world and is now an extension of yourself - I think it just flicks a switch inside us where our emotions don't belong being cooped up in a box any more. Sometimes I just think about him and feel like my heart is gonna burst out of my chest. Thanks for sharing man.
I got chills listening to you. I love how open you are about your feelings. There are so many songs I cannot sing without crying. But I am a firm believer in living your truth and if you are sad be sad and if you feel like crying, cry. Same with all other emotions, if I am having a pissy day I try to warn the Hubs...but he loves me unconditionally so I am fairly safe to be me! Keep doing what you're doing man! Skew
I think you’ve always had those feelings in you, but being a dad has brought them out and let you express them. I can tell you that not all men are like that. Your son is one lucky boy! ❤️
I think as people age and have more experiences that show just how fragile life is, things touch us much more deeply. I never know what's gonna set me off these days - I'll see a human being kind to an animal, or a kid's relationship with an older person, etc., and it just slays me. I'm fortunate I have a wife who loves that I'm sensitive.
Cute little dude, by the way. Can't wait to hear him say his first "SKEW!"
Well, I've never claimed to be a big, tough man :), but I totally cried watching your baby sleep contentedly next to you (that pacifier action is mad adorable!) while you talked about what makes a good dad. He is *so* lucky to have a dad who doesn't think men having or expressing emotions (beyond rage, the manly emotion) is a bad thing, and who's growing as we all should when we enter new phases of our lives! I love you when you're funny, and I love you when you're profound and thinking deeply about the fucked-up world we live in, and, most of all, I love seeing you being a top-notch dad! So, keep up the good (emotional) work! It made my day!
Yep! That’s exactly why I don’t work as an OB or pediatric nurse. I can help an adult ease into the next life with dignity and peace 10 times a day but omg I can’t handle it when bad things happen to the littles 😭
The first time you make quiet eye contact with your baby after they’re born is life-changing profound. You look in their eyes, they look back at you, and you know to the depths of your soul you would gladly and happily and without hesitation die for them. It’s not supposed to be the other way around 😔
I don't even have/want kids, but 'Ronan' will never *not* send me into absolute hysterics.
"It's about to be Halloween, you could be anything
You wanted if you were still here"
I defy anyone to hear those lines without becoming a total wreck.

I see the Daily Daddy being a big hit, Corey. Much love to you and Amber and Bain!!

That's the opposite of being a wimp

I can't tell you how much my heart swells when I listen to you putting yourself out there, for real, being real, all of it. Love you so much! 💜
