Is it me or does the "son" in the lower picture have pigtails? Not that that couldn't be a thing, but, are these both these people's daughters?

Dads are definitely like this with both

My 10 year old gets the full throws and body slams onto the couch, the baby gets the guided tosses. In water though...you better hold your nose, your gonna find out how we played in the 90s after watching WWF hopped up on Surge and Kid Cuisine.

Yeah in my experience it is both with both. Tire them out by throwing them around and then snuggle up.

My daughter’s #2. She’s also trying to do ballet in a pink dress right now.

Both with my daughter, but never going quite as far as swinging her around by one limb. Just flopping her over my shoulder like she's a sack of potatoes, then holding her ankles and dangling her upside down against my back. She loves it, and will actively try to climb up my chest when I'm sitting to flop over my shoulder herself sometimes.

I think he's doing tricep extensions in the picture.

Once met a dad who treated his daughter like #2, she was a little badass. Hope she's a grown-up badass now.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, there's no real reason not to... Unless they don't like that sort of treatment.

She fuckin' loved it. He was just launching her all over the place. At one point I saw her skin the heck out of her knee; she just picked out the big hunks of gravel and kept on going.

My parents treated me like #2. And by #2 I mean shit.

Don't worry, there will come a time in their elderly years when they need care, and you'll have that talk about putting them in a nice retirement home.

And you'll say to them......"Well, good luck with that."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I can't wait for that day.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

And hey, you may get extra lucky. That day may last for years until they finally understand what you've been telling them this whole time.

My mother thought she was going to move in with me when I got a house for close to a decade against better attempts to disabuse her of that notion. It was only after I bought one and moved in with my wife/partner that she realized just how wrong she was.

My mother doesn't know where I live lol.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

That's always nice.

Thankfully it doesn't matter to me anymore because I ended up buying her forever home for her. And a pine box is a much better place for her than my home lol.

Buster Keaton's parente used to launch him off the stage and into the audience as the "indestructible child"

[–] [email protected] 15 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

See, and look how he turned out!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

I don't know who Buster Keaton is.....I assume some kind of professional mosh pitter, and stage diver?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Do yourself a favor and look him up. Cinema pioneer. Seems cheesy now, groundbreaking at the time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

There's nothing Cheesy about the genuine technical marvel that was Buster Keaton doing slapstick cartoon shit in live action
